Thursday's meeting at Newcastle has been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.

Clerk of the course James Armstrong was due to inspect the course at 8am but made an earlier decision to call off the meeting after further rain over the last 24 hours.

He tweeted: "27 millimetres more over last 24 hours with upwards of 20mm more to come."
