Extremely disappointed and frustrated that local people have allowed their dogs to run loose & unsupervised over fleece cover deployed on course to help protect Monday's fixture. Mindless, costly & the equivalent of vandalism. Keep dogs on leads & under control.

Racing has been abandoned on Sunday 23 Feb due to recent flooding. On the current forecast of further significant rainfall there is little sign of improvement. Our thoughts are also with the many local residents & businesses of Hereford that have flooded over the past few days.
