Horseracing: Warwick off

Racing's busiest day lost another meeting this morning when the meeting at Warwick was called off.

Racing's busiest day lost another meeting this morning when the meeting at Warwick was called off.

Five of the 15 fixtures scheduled for Easter Monday had already been abandoned due to the foot-and-mouth outbreak.

Now waterlogging has claimed the Flat card at Warwick.

After an inspection of the track, clerk of the course Hugo Bevan said: "Unfortunately we have had to abandon the meeting.

"The course is still waterlogged, the track is unraceable and there is no real sign of it drying out.

"We have had no rain for 90 hours now but still it has not dried enough to give us any cause for optimism over Monday."

Monday's surviving meetings are on the Flat at Kempton and Nottingham, over jumps at Fakenham, Hereford, Huntingdon, Market Rasen, Plumpton, Wetherby and Wincanton.
