Hamilton Park 'put horse and jockey welfare' first as they abandon race

Hamilton Park Race Course was forced to abandon a race and delay two others on Tuesday, over safety fears on the track.

After jockeys complained about horses slipping on the bend an investigation was held, and a decision made to abandon race five on the schedule, which was the only remaining one to be run round the bend, and continue with the final two on the card.

Concerns were first raised during the second race at 1.45pm, but the meeting continued as scheduled after the area was verti-drained and sanded.
