Ayr has been forced to cancel the first day of its three-day meet on Friday due to waterlogging on the track.
“The area of ground that was causing us a problem has improved a bit after a dry day, but not enough to race tomorrow,” said Clerk of the Course Graeme Anderson. “We will have a look at noon tomorrow to see where we stand for Saturday. We could obviously do without any more rain. We are hopeful of going ahead–it is the biggest card of the year here so we have to remain hopeful. [Jockey] PJ McDonald and a few others will be here tomorrow; [trainer] Michael Dodds is here tonight, so we will have a look at noon to see if that area has improved again.”
