Bendigo meeting abandoned

There will be no racing in Victoria today after wet weather forced the planned meeting at Bendigo to be abandoned.

Racing Victoria officials inspected the track on Wednesday morning and discovered extensive surface water in parts of the track.

With rain continuing to fall, stewards were left with no option but to abandon the 10-race card.
