Following the running of Race 4, all riders raised concerns regarding the presence of surface water on the track as a result of heavy rainfall. The wet conditions were significantly impacting visibility and posed safety risks for horses and riders. In response, a Track Safety Review was convened comprising the Stipendiary Stewards, Club Officials, the Track Manager, and all riders. After thorough discussion and on the basis of unanimous agreement among the riders, it was determined that the track conditions were unsafe for racing to continue. Accordingly, the Stewards made the decision to abandon the remainder of the meeting in the interest of rider safety and welfare. Quote

Yeah...I didn't take any notice either, a sobering thought! Was the weather bad leading up to the day? or did the rain come later? If the latter, then of course, the right decision. But if the former, why on earth take chances... Quote
