Saturday's scheduled race meeting at Warwick has been abandoned due to water-logging.
It’s the venue's most high-profile meeting of the year - Kingmaker Day.
The course also lost its other big money spinner, the New Year’s Eve meeting.
Uttoxeter has also fallen victim to the rain.
They were among six Saturday race meetings, three in the Midlands.
They also race on the flat on an all-weather track at Wolverhampton.
