Before that jockeys, horses and crowds all did their best to battle against the rain and make a success of the day.

Here is our report on the action that did happen and reaction from clerk of the course Ed Arkell to the early finish, but on this page and the ones linked you can see pictures by Clive Bennett and Getty’s Alan Crowhurst from a soggy Saturday at the racecourse.
