Waterlogging claims Chepstow card

Tomorrow's meeting at Chepstow has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.

Clerk of the course Keith Ottesen called an 8.30am inspection after the track saw plenty of rain earlier in the week.

Ottesen reports further rain at the course overnight and admits there is no chance of conditions improving in time to race.

He said: “It rained again last night and we really couldn’t take any more.

“There would have been questions about whether we would be raceable without it, but a further seven millimetres overnight has put us back to where we were.

“The ground is waterlogged and there is no reasonable chance of it improving anywhere near enough to race.”
