Soggy Newbury abandoned
20/10/2006 - 07:08:21This afternoon’s meeting at Newbury has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.
Clerk of the course Richard Osgood took the decision to call off the seven-race card, due to commence at 2pm, after 30 millimetres of overnight rain fell at the Berkshire venue.
“As we were only forecast five millimetres of rain, we had to call a 6.45am inspection this morning,” said Osgood.
“Parts of the course were waterlogged so we were left with no choice but to abandon.”
