Luca Cumani nap

Drainage issues in an area of the weighing room led to the Flat fixture being called off after four races. Richard Hughes tweeted the above scene in the changing room!!

A tweet posted by Bath racecourse read: “Abandoned meeting due to localised flooding in the weighing room area.”Jockey Shane Kelly was in action at Bath and said there was “no other alternative” but to abandon.He said: “The drains were blocked at the bottom of the weighing room where the valets work.

It wasn’t very pleasant and everyone decided you couldn’t possibly work in those conditions. “Unfortunately for Bath’s stewards, there was no other alternative but to call the meeting off.

A statement issued by the Bath stewards read: “The stewards held an inquiry following a complaint by the jockeys and valets as to the state of their changing room. “They interviewed Richard Hughes, George Baker and Jimmy Fortune, representing all the jockeys, and two jockeys’ valets, the general manager and clerk of the course.

“Having heard all their evidence and viewed the changing room the stewards abandoned the meeting as the riders and valets were unwilling to continue in the flooded conditions. “The stewards ordered a report to be forwarded to the British Horseracing Authority.”
