Ascot hoping Long Walk Hurdle 2010 goes to plan

After last year’s loss of two attractive cards Ascot racecourse will be hoping that this year’s Long Walk Hurdle goes ahead as planned .

The Long Walk Hurdle is the highlight of Ascot’s most valuable day of Jumps racing, with the £100,000 Grade One also supported by the £150,000 ‘Ladbroke.’

In 2009, the meeting was cancelled after poor weather hit the nation and the Long Walk Hurdle was moved to Newbury and the Ladbroke Hurdle was cancelled for the first time in its twenty year history.

This year’s race will take place on the 18th December and Ascot will be hoping that the race goes ahead as planned.
