Newcastle goes ahead This afternoon's meeting at Newcastle goes ahead after the track passed a second inspection. Clerk of the course James Armstrong had an initial look at 8am but was not satisfied with conditions after temperatures dropped below freezing overnight. He called a further check at 10am and was pleased to confirm the track is now fit for racing. He said: "We're racing, it has improved enough and we're happy with it. "It's got up to 5C and while it is not particularly sunny, it's improved enough to race."
