Race Abandoned: Saturday 19 October

Due to persistent heavy rainfall overnight and following an inspection of the track this morning, we regret to announce that our horseracing meeting scheduled for Saturday 19th October has been abandoned. Despite efforts to prepare the course, the track remains waterlogged in several areas, and with further rain expected and a weather warning in place, it is unsafe for racing to proceed.

The safety of our participants, horses, and spectators is always our priority, and this decision has been made in the best interest of all involved. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding during these challenging weather conditions.

All racegoers who have purchased tickets for this event will receive a full refund, which will be processed within the next 7-10 working days. We kindly ask for your patience as we work through the refund process to ensure fairness to all attendees.

As this fixture will not be rescheduled, we now look forward to our final raceday of the season on Wednesday 30th October.

Thank you for your continued support of Newton Abbot Racecourse.
