Stewards and club officials had inspected the track on Friday morning after 20mls of rain overnight and rated it a Heavy 10.
It had been a good meeting for the local trainers with the Cody Morgan-trained Kanalaide winning the opening race and Troy O'Neile's Beckford the third.
The annual Talmoi picnic race meeting scheduled for Saturday has also been postponed due to the track being deemed unsuitable to race on after the recent rainfall.
