Fakenham race meeting today has been called off due to snow on the track.
The North Norfolk track passed a 3pm inspection yesterday but about one and a half inches of snow fell last night and it caused the postponement to be announced following a 7am check today.
Clerk of the course David Hunter said the forecast temperatures would not be high enough to clear the snow from the track.

There was due to be a seven race card and the meeting was also the Countryside Counts Day and the annual amateurs race.
