Racing will definitely be called off from Thursday through to Monday as the temp is far too high for horses to be subjected to racing.

Has this happened before, in recent history?

Between 2017 and 2019 fourteen meetings were lost to hard ground.

I recall Southwell calling off about 3 years ago due to the heat

Sunday is predicted to be the hottest day ever on record in the UK. No way will they have any racing and rightly so

The problem days look like being Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Maybe the BHA should consider taking a leaf out of France Galop's book and switching the start times to early morning or later in the evening (and then running the races at 25 minute intervals). There are two jump meetings scheduled for Sunday afternoon. There is absolutely no way they can take place in the forecast afternoon temperatures.
