No hurdlers at Carlisle
Carlisle has been forced to abandon three hurdle races and a bumper at its meeting on Sunday.
The prolonged period of wet weather in Cumbria – which led to the abandonment of Monday’s meeting – means the hurdles course is still waterlogged.
And with further rain forecast, the Jockey Club inspectorate agreed the hurdles track will not be raceable in time for the weekend.
Instead, the British Horseracing Board has created three extra chases to compensate for the loss.
The six-race card begins at 12.50pm and concludes at 3.40pm.
