The second day of the racing festival at Limerick has been postponed after the course was found to be waterlogged following an 8am inspection.
There was 18 millimetres of rain overnight.
With further rain forecast, the fixture scheduled for today has been called off. There will be a further inspection at 8am on Monday ahead of the fixtures scheduled for that day.
Horse Racing Ireland has confirmed that today's entire card will now take place on Wednesday, except for the Grade 2 Lyons Of Limerick Jaguar Novice Hurdle, which will run tomorrow as the second race of the day.
Racing at Leopardstown will go ahead, live on RTÉ2.
Chepstow's Coral Welsh Grand National meeting has also been abandoned due to a waterlogged track.
The fixture has had no luck down the years on the weather front and once more course officials were forced to admit defeat.
Earlier in the week there had been optimism that the prestigious card, which also features the Grade One Coral Finale Juvenile Hurdle, would survive but a further downfall overnight from Storm Bella left the course with patches of false ground.
Clerk of the course Libby O'Flaherty inspected at 7.45am but was left with no choice but to call the meeting off.
"We've had another 27mm overnight and this morning, up to 7am when I was walking the track," said O'Flaherty.
"It's so annoying as there's just one area of false ground down the back straight and I was trying to find a way around it but there just isn't one.
"We will be hoping to reschedule at a later date but as yet the date has not been confirmed.
