Racing at Tralee on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday has been cancelled due to waterlogging.

Officials at the track inspected at 8am this morning for Monday's meeting, which had already been rescheduled once, but after racing took place on Saturday the decision was taking to abandon all three days.

It is hoped that giving the track time to recover will finally allow the course to stage its final meeting.

"They had more heavy rain overnight and it is unraceable," said Cliff Noone, press officer for the Irish Turf Club. "But the meetings have been cancelled rather than abandoned, they hope to reschedule.

"The track is waterlogged though and there was no prospect of it improving enough in time to race at all this week, it needs a good spell of dry weather."
