Racing at Caymanas Park was abandoned on Saturday after the jockeys deemed the racing surface unsafe for further competition due to inclement weather.
The decision to call off the remainder of the card — races nine and ten on the 10-race programme — was taken after consultations between the Jamaica Racing Commission (JRC) stewards and representatives of the Jamaica Jockeys’ Guild, after complaints about the condition of the surface.
Former champion jockey Dane Dawkins says safety is paramount, and that the risk taken by riders cannot be compensated for if an accident occurs.
