Racing goes ahead at Sedgefield this afternoon after fears of overnight frost failed to materialise.
A precautionary inspection had been planned for 8.30am but officials were able to cancel that check.
Clerk of the course Phil Tuck said: "Temperatures didn't dip as low as forecast.
"It's not going to be the warmest of days, with a bit of a wind chill and we might catch an odd shower, but we're fine."
