Racing: This evening's fixture at Roscommon has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.

Officials at the venue had scheduled a 9am inspection after racing last night but were forced to take an earlier check following further significant rain.

"They brought forward the inspection after getting more rain after racing yesterday evening," explained the Irish Turf Club's Cliff Noone.

"They have had a very good look at the track this morning but have deemed it unfit for racing, due mainly to waterlogging. As a result, they've had to abandon today."
