Had nothing to do with weather. Decision a result of jockeys coming back from 6th concerned that course was dangerously soft in spots. Safety of horses and riders is the priority.

ok, thanks for that, but if that is the case, why not announce it after the 6th and before the race 7 p4 started ? CD website has the changes at 3:45, 7th race went off at 3:34 pm ? Don't under stand it.
