THE going was “deep” at St Moritz last Sunday for the opening meeting of the season on the snow-covered track. Some 7,500 spectators turned out to watch racing on the frozen lake and betting turnover reached almost 50,000 Swiss francs (€48,000).

British raider New Agenda won the main race for trainer Paul Webber. The seven-year-old by New Approach had previously won over hurdles and on the all-weather at Wolverhampton.
