Officials at Wetherby will hold an inspection at 11am on Sunday to assess the prospects of Tuesday's National Hunt meeting going ahead.
The West Yorkshire venue is covered with snow and clerk of the course Jonjo Sanderson is pessimistic about the chances of the fixture beating the elements.
"We have a covering of snow. It's not heavy, but it's no longer light," he said.
"We are also frozen in one or two places and there is further snow forecast for any time from tonight until Sunday.
"The daytime temperatures are only zero and the night temperatures are around minus 1C.
"There is not enough optimism in that forecast to suggest we'll be racing on Tuesday, I'm afraid."
