Top Ebor races to be saved

It's looking increasingly likely this evening that quite a few races will be saved from the York meeting which was abandoned this morning. Some of the better quality races have been moved to Goodwood, Newmarket and Newbury. Details are still a bit sketchy this evening but it looks like a number of the races will be shoehorned into the other meetings on Friday and Saturday. That should help mitigate some of the lost cards but as they will be squeezed into the other meetings the markets are unlikely to be anywhere near as strong. Still it's better than a complete loss.
