Sedgefield meeting frozen off

Sedgefield has become the latest casualty of the cold snap with Tuesday's meeting abandoned due to a frozen track and snow.

Clerk of the course Phil Tuck had called an inspection for 12.30pm but he brought forward that check after another cold night.

He said: ''We brought forward the inspection as there's no prospect of a thaw.

''We fell below freezing again last night and are forecast minus temperatures again tonight, so there's no chance of us racing and we have abandoned.''
