The course had passed an initial 8am inspection but officials scheduled another for 1pm following an unfavourable weather forecast.

"They got heavy showers between the two inspections which made the situation worse," Turf Club spokesman Cliff Noone said.

"Parts of the track are waterlogged and the course is unfit for racing."
