A trainer has labelled British racing the "laughing stock of the sporting world" on the back of the latest ground fiasco.
Eve Johnson Houghton aired her strong views after Lingfield became the fourth track to abandon races in the last week. The Surrey venue cancelled two contests due to ground issues, which have also blighted Beverley, Haydock and Chester.
"I have never been so embarrassed to be part of this industry," Johnson Houghton tweeted. "How have 4 tracks got it so wrong that they are not safe to ride around. As trainers if we get any small thing wrong we get fined. What steps are the BHA taking. We are the laughing stock of the sporting world."
