Leopardstown odds-on to beat the freeze Leading Bookmakers Ladbrokes have priced up odds of racing taking place on St. Stephen's Day and lets hope they have got their prices right as they make Leopardstown a short price to get the green light on 26th December. The firm are offering combined odds of 5/4 that racing on St Stephen's Day will go ahead at both Leopardstown and Limerick. Leopardstown is 30/100 to be on while Limerick is less likely in their book to be beat the weather at odds of 4/7. Those wanting to hedge their bets can back a cancelled Leopardstown on 26th at 5/2. Not a bad bet - if racing is off you back a winner; if racing is on you can back several! Ladbrokes fear the UK fixtures will be badly hit and offer odds of 5/4 about kempton racing and 6/4 for Chepstow to beat the freeze the following day. Hayley O'Connor of Ladbrokes said: "The return of the snowfall has definitely put the Christmas fixtures in jeopardy, but we're going to remain hopeful that temperatures rise for some of the busiest meetings of the year."
