Musselburgh's Saltire St Andrew's Day card was called off just after 1pm yesterday, around an hour after the original scheduled start and following a fourth inspection at the East Lothian track.
Temperatures dipped to minus two overnight and despite take-offs and landings being covered, certain parts of the course were struggling to thaw out under the low winter sun. At the time of abandonment, ground staff were moving rails to try and bypass the problem areas.
