Fakenham Racecourse abandons meeting due to Storm Eunice arrival

Fakenham Racecourse has abandoned tomorrow's meeting due to the imminent arrival of Storm Eunice.

Storm Dudley already swept across West Norfolk on Wednesday with winds gusting at around 60mph.

Storm Eunice is expected to peak at even stronger winds tomorrow (Friday) afternoon, so the racecourse has decided to call off racing in advance.

It stated: "Not safe for people and horses to travel to the races and safety of racegoers cannot be ensured."
