Cheltenham Racecourse have announced that the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase has been cancelled due to a waterlogged course. An inspection of the track was called on Tuesday morning after heavy rainfall ahead of the Festival.
In a statement released on X, previously known as Twitter, read: “Following 11mm of rainfall throughout yesterday, there has been no improvement on the conditions on the Cross Country course and with areas of the track unraceable, the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase has sadly been abandoned
“The forecast for the remainder of the week continues to look unsettled, with further showers likely on both Thursday and Friday. There will therefore be insufficient improvement to the Cross Country course by Friday 15th March and the decision has been taken not to to reschedule the Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase at the festival.”
