Officials at Hereford have been forced to abandon Thursday's National Hunt fixture due to a waterlogged track.
Clerk of the course Keith Ottesen announced a lunchtime inspection earlier this morning following persistent rain, and to make matters worse a culvert (a type of drain) that runs through the centre of the course has burst.
Ottesen has had little option but to call off proceedings.
