Thursday's Ballina Cup meeting has been abandoned due to heavy rain.

The Ballina course was deemed unsuitable for racing following a track inspection by stewards on Tuesday.

The Balina course had received more than 100mls on rain, leaving surface water over the majority of the track.

With more rain forecast there was little chance of the surface improving sufficiently to permit racing on Thursday.

The meeting has been abandoned with the Ballina Cup to be rescheduled to a date later in the year.

The Racing NSW Country Showcase prizemoney will be redistributed to another Ballina TAB meeting later in the financial year.
