Catterick calls off hours after Chepstow abandons - Horse Racing News | Racing Post

I think it was a disgrace that Ctterick continued to race as long as it did...according to the radio the jockeys were very concerned after the first race but were over ruled...a disgrace all round

Catterick calls off hours after Chepstow abandons - Horse Racing News | Racing Post: "A COUPLE of hours after the abandonment of rain-soaked Chepstow on Tuesday, racing at Catterick was also called off after five races due to safety concerns with the track.

Therewere two fallers during the card, with other horses reported to have slipped, and despite a wholesale jockeys' suggestion that they take a different line and switch to the stands' side in the home straight, conditions deteriorated further and it was finally agreed by officials, riders and trainers that it was too risky to carry on."
