Following further overnight rain at Clonmel the two chases on today's card have been abandoned.
Another 10mm of rain has fallen since declaration time leaving the hurdle track heavy but parts of the chase course are waterlogged.
Officials have decided to abandon the two chases which were scheduled to be the final two races on the card.
This leaves a five-race hurdle meeting beginning at 12.50pm but admission is free to all racegoers.
The star of the day is undoubtedly Vroum Vroum Mag who is sure to go off at prohibitive odds against four rivals in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Mares Hurdle.
Tote patrons can still play Pick 6, Placepot and Jackpot bets at Clonmel despite only five races going ahead. All selections in the cancelled sixth race will be deemed winners.
Normal Tote Pool guarantees will also apply: €25,000 Pick 6; €15,000 Placepot; €5,000 Jackpot.
