Leopardstown postponed until Sunday Racing at Leopardstown today was called off when officials found the track to be waterlogged following heavy overnight rain. After a 7.00am inspection racecourse manager Tom Burke said: 'We`re off unfortunately. Racing is cancelled due to waterlogging. We`ve had 16 millimetres of rain overnight and there is more to come in the next few hours as well.' It was later announced that today`s card would be run on Sunday and Burke is hopeful the two remaining days of the Leopardstown Christmas Festival will beat the weather. He said: 'We`re very hopeful we`ll be OK by tomorrow because from noon today it is supposed to pick up and be dry right through tomorrow. 'It has all come so suddenly and it hasn`t had chance to go away but we are hopeful we will go ahead tomorrow at this stage but we`ll monitor the situation through the day as well.' Sunday's original line-up has been abandoned with the exception of the Evening Herald December Festival Hurdle, whichwill be run as the first race.
