Improvement in conditions at Kempton There was a noticeable improvement in conditions at Kempton today and while clerk of the course Barney Clifford describes the chances of racing on Sunday as "50-50" he said they would pull out all the stops to try to ensure the meeting goes ahead as scheduled. "We've had a good thaw here. There's still a couple of centimetres of snow on the track, but you can see the black covers poking through in areas which is encouraging," he said. "We never got above two degrees Celsius over the last 36 hours so it's encouraging to see seven centimetres of snow disappear. We've still got a way to go. We've got a couple of minus figures forecast the next couple of nights, so we'll monitor the situation on a daily basis. "One would have to be optimistic. It's a 50-50 call, but we'll do everything in our power to try to get it on. We'll see what the forecast says. It has been quite volatile over the last three weeks or so and we'll just see what it brings."
