Racing
Horse race abandoned as jockeys hide for cover in wild scenes
Racing was abandoned at Auteuil on Saturday afternoon due to weather becoming increasingly severe. There were weather warnings in the area prior to the card getting underway, with the forecast worsening as time went on.
Heading into the final race on the card, at 15.07, winds began to worsen before the heavens opened and a hail storm ensued. The race continued nevertheless, with jockeys visibly looking distracted by the conditions.
