THE Totesport Trophy card has been rescheduled for Friday pending satisfactory results from the two post mortems of the horses that died in the paddock before the first race on Saturday.
The rescheduled card will feature the AON and Game Spirit Chases along with the Totesport Trophy, although all races will be run with less prize-money than on the original fixture.
Newbury managing director Stephen Higgins said: "It has been a difficult week so far for all involved with Saturday's traumatic events.
"Having received confirmation from Southern Electric Power Distribution that the paddock site is safe for both horses and people, we are confident that racing should resume.
