    Far better to cancel racing for a couple of days as a one-off and the extreme heat not materialise, than race and lose a couple of horses due to heat exhaustion plus a couple of octogenarian annual members in the stands!

    I don’t think the meetings should have gone ahead, but it would have been interesting to see which trainers and jockeys felt it was still acceptable to race had they done so.

    For anyone who did, I think it would raise some concerns about their suitability to be entrusted with the care of racehorses.

    Exactly my thoughts, Marlingford. I was just speculating who would declare…..
