TUESDAY'S meeting at Folkestone has been abandoned due to snow.
Officials at the course said on Monday the chances of racing taking places were "50-50" and rescheduled an inspection for 6am on Tuesday after an initial look at a 2pm a on Monday.
However, there is still snow so racing has been abandoned.
TUESDAY'S meeting at Newcastle goes ahead as planned after officials at the course were satisfied with conditions on the morning of racing.
Clerk of the course James Armstrong had called an 8am inspection for Tuesday, but was able to make an earlier decision.
"We've been lucky," he said on Tuesday morning.
"We had a fair drop of rain last night and we came in this morning and there'd only been a hard air frost, which didn't really penetrate the ground.
"The light came up in decent time and we were completely capable of racing at 7.30am."
The going for Tuesday's fixture, which starts at 2.10pm, is heavy, soft in places.
We also have all weather racing at Southwell
