According to the BHA, Lingfield AW has been abandoned because the track is "Too lumpy".

The Lingfield track will henceforth be known as Lingfield SW.

Some weather.

Tbh, it's nothing new - IIRC the very first "AW" UK fixture at Southwell had to be called off, though in fairness it was because, while the track was raceable, the approach roads were all snowbound.

But many "AW" meetings since have been called off because of the effect of the weather on the racing surface.

The so-called "AW" is more weather proof than Turf, generally speaking, but it's not what it was originally meant to be.

Nope.

Ffos Las and Fairyhouse on Turf ON, Chelmsford "AW" faces an inspection.
