Really ?
Why would we have abandoned meetings later in the year and at the beginning of next because of the current weather conditions ?
There are far more meetings cancelled due to rain, snow, frost etc, than the current weather conditions in regards to racing. Plus the BHA are proactive and are already putting on extra meetings next week, because of the firm ground and high number of eliminations in all weather races .. extra meetings at Newcastle and Chelmsford next week
And if you look at next years fixture list your going to get I think 15 days where there will be two floodlit meetings on together in the evening, plus other fixture alterations

The BHA produce statistics packs on a monthly and yearly basis , which includes field sizes,abandonments , extra fixtures , and a host of other facts, which you might find interesting, and might avoid “ you thinking out loud “. Example of such a pack below
Your welcome to browse thru them and let us know how many meetings have been abandoned due hard ground in recent years ( Wincanton last may springs to mind, but I suspect they are tiny compared to frost etc )

Most tracks have the ability to water, and are able to move races at the discretion of the BHA , to other parts of their course if ground unsuitable .. Think Donny moved a couple of races from round to straight course or vice versa due to ground recently .
Remember travelling and gallops etc are often just as big a factor in extreme weather conditions, and whether a trainer enters/ runs a horse.
Hope that puts your mind at rest
