Racing Abandoned: Cheltenham Festival Trials Day 2021 | Press Release

Cheltenham Racecourse has confirmed that Saturday’s Festival Trials Day has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.

After the loss of the New Year’s Day card earlier this month, this is the second of the courses’ January fixtures that will have been lost to the weather.

In an official statement, racecourse representatives said:

“Following an inspection with the BHA’s Senior Inspector of Courses, unfortunately tomorrow’s raceday has been abandoned as the course is waterlogged and unraceable.

“With rain and snow forecast, there is no prospect of an improvement ahead of racing.”
