Today's meeting at Newbury and tomorrow's Newton Abbot fixture have become the latest victims of the current wet spell.

Heavy overnight rain and the forecast of more to come forced officials at Newbury to call the fixture off after an inspection yesterday morning.

Newbury, where racing went ahead without problems on Saturday, is the 11th jumps meeting to be lost this season. And an hour later Newton Abbot became number 12.

Clerk of the course Michael Trickey said: "We've had one and a half inches of rain overnight and the course is waterlogged - it's totally impossible."
