Racing sunk to a new low when a contest had to be scrapped after attracting no horses.
The event at Newbury, due to round off the card before a Craig David concert, was called off following the declaration stage. Connections of the 13 entries decided against confirming their thoroughbreds for the Stonegate Homes Fillies' Novice Stakes.
It was the final race at the weekend meeting, which hosts the feature Weatherbys Super Sprint, worth £98,340 to the winner. Only £3,510 was on offer for the first-placed horse in the race which drew a blank.
