This evening's eight-race card at Roscommon has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.

The venue failed to pass a 7.30am morning inspection as the condition of the course was exacerbated by heavy overnight rain.

"The inspection was called late last night and officials at the course had no option other than to knock the meeting on the head this morning," said Irish Turf Club press officer Cliff Noone.

"Parts of the course are waterlogged and that's enough for racing to be abandoned."
