Horse racing: Waterlogged Sedgefield abandoned

Wet weather has forced officials at Sedgefield to abandon tomorrow’s National meeting following an inspection this morning.

Clerk of the course James Hutchinson was left with no option with little chance of the track drying out in time for racing to take place.

He said: ‘‘The track is unraceable due to waterlogging in places.

‘‘There is little prospect of that changing before tomorrow and there is further rain forecast.’’
