Racing: Tony McCoy's bid to reach 3,000 winners has stalled again today, thanks to Carlisle's abandonment. The 13-times champion jockey had four good rides at the Cumbria venue, where overnight temperatures plummeted to nearly minus-four degrees.
Clerk of the course Andrew Tulloch quickly accepted defeat following an early-morning inspection and called off this afternoon’s fixture because of a frozen track.
He said: “We’ve had a look, but we are still frozen. There is unfortunately no prospect of racing.”
McCoy has been stranded on the 2,998-winner mark since last Thursday.
