The rescheduled jumps meeting at Thurles on Thursday has been cancelled due to a lack of rain.
Following an inspection this morning, the track was found to be unsuitable for racing this week.
The meeting has been postponed twice already in recent weeks.
Lorcan Wyer, IHRB Clerk of the Course at Thurles, said: “Following an inspection this morning, the track at Thurles remains unfit for jump racing and the fixture scheduled for this Thursday has been cancelled.
“There was minimal rain at the track over the weekend as this sustained period of generally dry weather continues. The outlook for the coming days remains mainly dry.
“We will once again liaise with Horse Racing Ireland about the possibility of a new date later in the season.”
