THE BHA and Levy Board on Tuesday announced the first additional fixtures off the back of bad weather for nearly a year, in a bid to keep the racing show on the road this weekend.
While racegoers, punters and horsemen will be hoping the jump fixturesat Sandown, Ffos Las and Wetherby on Saturday will beat the cold temperatures which have returned with a vengeance in the past couple of days, racing's organisers are taking no chances.
Extra all-weather fixtures at Wolverhampton on Saturday afternoon and at Kempton 24 hours later, have been programmed, while twilight cards slated for Wolverhampton on Thursday and Friday have been brought forward to start earlier in the afternoon.
