Trials Day at Cheltenham Racecourse, which was scheduled to take place on Saturday has been cancelled due bad weather SATURDAY’S Trials Day at Cheltenham Racecourse has been cancelled due to waterlogging. Officials had made people aware the meeting was in the balance due to rainfall which exceeded expectations, so an inspection had been called. An early update on Friday suggested it was touch-and-go following another wet night in the Cotswolds. However, with standing water in places, some fences already set to be omitted and not enough space to redirect the runners around the waterlogged patches. Clerk of the course Simon Claisse said: “We were always saying that we had to hope we wouldn’t get what was forecast and we’ve had what was forecast, unfortunately.
