Fontwell Park bosses: We can beat the big freeze
With much of this week’s racing abandoned because of snow and frost, they are keeping a close eye on the long-term forecast, hoping their penultimate card of 2010 will go ahead.
General manager Phil Bell said: “The forecast we’ve seen suggests a thaw on Sunday, and providing that happens and then continues on Monday, we’ve a better than 50/50 chance of our meeting being on.”
