Torrential downpours leave track waterlogged.
Saturday's showpiece meeting at Cheltenham has been called off after overnight rain left the course waterlogged in places.
The track's managing director Andy Clifton said: "We've had 26 millimetres of rain in the last 10 hours and it's still rain so there is surface water in various places.
"The forecast is for it to continue raining and the only sensible decision to take is to call off the meeting."
