Monday's card at Carlisle has become the latest casualty of the cold snap.
Monday's card at Carlisle has become the latest casualty of the cold snap.
With Market Rasen abandoned on Sunday, National Hunt enthusiasts were left hoping that Carlisle would beat the weather, but it was not to be.
Temperatures plummeted as low as minus four overnight and as a result the track was found to be frozen in parts making it unfit for racing.
"We got down to -4C which was a good deal colder than what we were forecast," clerk of the course Andrew Tulloch reported.
"It was still frozen in places yesterday and while it was coming out slowly, those sort of temperatures brought us right back to square one.
"We had additional fleeces down but the parts that weren't covered would take a great deal of work to get us raceable and we don't have the time."
There was some good news with Wolverhampton declared raceable at an early morning inspection.
Although the track was raceable on Sunday there were fears that snow would leave public areas unsafe, but the forecast proved incorrect and the meeting was given the green light.
"The snow that we were forecast failed to materialise," said clerk of the course Fergus Cameron.
"It did drop to -4C overnight but the temperatures are already on the rise and it is due to get to +4C.
"It's all systems go, some good news for a change."
