This afternoon's meeting at Leicester has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.
Course officials were left with no option but to draw stumps following a course inspection just before 8am.
The track had been hit by 15mm of overnight rain.
Clerk of the course Jimmy Stevenson said: "We could have coped with five or six mm, but not 15. The ground is absolutely desperate."
