NEWBURY FORCED TO ABANDON Racing at Newbury tomorrow was called off due to waterlogging this morning. But hopes remain high that the track`s Tote Gold Trophy card on Saturday will beat the weather. Clerk of the course Mark Kershaw said: 'The track dried out nicely yesterday but we had a third of an inch of rain overnight and the hurdles course is very wet in places. 'We will have a look at 11.00am tomorrow for Saturday. 'But there isn`t much more rain forecast until Saturday afternoon - and the track didn`t take long to dry out yesterday - so that is very encouraging.' Not only does Saturday`s card feature the Stg£100,000 Tote Gold Trophy but also the reappearance of runaway King George VI Chase winner First Gold in the Aon Chase.
