Officials at Wetherby were left with no option but to abandon the second day of the track’s Yorkshire Christmas Meeting due to a waterlogged track.

The West Yorkshire circuit played host to its traditional Boxing Day fixture on Tuesday, with the Venetia Williams-trained Fontaine Collonges taking the featured Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase.

Another seven-race card was due to take place today, with the Castleford Chase the main event, but significant rainfall overnight left standing water on parts of the track and clerk of the course Jonjo Sanderson was forced to draw stumps.
