Musselburgh Racecourse cancels Saltire Raceday on Thursday

Musselburgh Racecourse has abandoned tomorrow’s Saltire Raceday meeting due to a frozen track.

The decision was taken after a preliminary inspection this afternoon.

Racecourse chief executive, Bill Farnsworth, said: “Part of the track is frozen and with a longer frost forecast overnight it is regrettable that we won’t be ready to race tomorrow.”
