Victor Chandler Chase and Champion Hurdle Trial switched after snow wipes out jump racing Even the all-weather meetings at Lingfield, which was abandoned on Friday, and Kempton will have to pass early morning inspections. However, the BHA was working hard to replace the important races lost. The Victor Chandler will now, as expected, go to Cheltenham on Saturday while the Stanjames.com Champion Hurdle Trial, which was due to be run at Haydock, will transfer across the Pennines to Doncaster the same day. The Victor Chandler will be reopened, run as the fourth race on an eight-race card on Cheltenham Trials day, and will now be worth £70,000 as opposed to the £105,000 it would have been worth at Ascot. Similarly, the Champion Hurdle Trial will also take a drop in value - £45,000 instead of the £75,000. A compensatory hurdle will also be put on at Huntingdon on Friday to replace the Grade 2 Rossington Main Novice Hurdle, which was due to be run at Haydock today. Wolverhampton will stage an extra all-weather fixture on Tuesday while Ayr, one of the few places not to be covered in snow, have been granted an extra jumping meeting on Wednesday. Paul Nicholls reported that he was unable to work his horses at Ditcheat for only the second time in 21 years although, with the forecast in mind, he worked the majority on Thursday instead. Nicky Henderson, his title rival, cantered his horses on his furlong-round indoor ride at Upper Lambourn. Le Beau Bai, who won the 2011 Welsh National, was put down on Friday after a setback while recovering from a fractured pelvis, which he sustained in routine work. A fractured pelvis in a horse is very mendable these days - provided the fracture is not displaced. But, as his trainer Richard Lee explained, there is a crucial time between the horse coming out of sedation and pain killers and the time it can take exercise again when it can become too fresh. "He obviously did too much in his stable and displaced it," he said. "We were up all night with him, but pain killers didn't work and we had him put down," said Lee.
