Tongue said: "The stewards gave us the OK ... So it [Tuesday's transferred meeting] is a big blow. We haven't raced and we've done renos and things - and it's very, very disappointing."

Tongue said: "We had overnight rain, there were storms yesterday [Sunday] afternoon ... We haven't had any drying weather, really."
