Today's race meeting at Roscommon has been cancelled due to a water-logged track.

A heavy night of rain led to an inspection at the track this morning and the course was found to be unfit for racing due to waterlogging.

Lorcan Wyer, IHRB Clerk of the Course said: "Following a further 10mm of rain overnight, the track was waterlogged in places this morning during our inspection.

"Since entries last Wednesday there has been almost 30mm of rain on the track and the forecast is for further rain this afternoon so unfortunately, we were left with no option but to the cancel the meeting."
