The Thames Jockey Club’s cup day fixture has ended in disappointment.
The meeting was called off before the third event after jockeys reported their mounts had slipped 750m from home in race two.
“We had an inspection and there were a few significant slip marks and unfortunately for the club and everybody else concerned the meeting had to be abandoned,” stipendiary steward Alan Coles said.
“Drizzly rain set in about 9.30am and continued through,” Coles said.
