"It's a very difficult call," said clerk of the course, Charles Moore. "We sit within a rural environment and yet are aware of our obligation to race, if we can. We must be sure that whatever course we take, we are happy doing it. We're looking at this properly - talking to our board of directors, the local community, farmers, vets and MAFF. We've had no threats about us racing, but plenty of calls asking us not to, some aggressively."
