The races have been washed out due to further rain but Wagga Amateur Picnic Race Club will push ahead with a phantom meeting at Murrumbidgee Turf Club on Saturday.
The Wagga track received a further 18 millimetres of rain in the early hours of Thursday morning to rule out any chance of racing.
MTC chief executive Scott Sanbrook hopes people still get behind the phantom meeting.
“Everything will still go ahead as planned,” Sanbrook said.
The picnics is the seventh consecutive Southern District race meeting to be lost to wet weather. There has been no races for the entire month of September.
Corowa’s meeting on Sunday is also in extreme doubt after their track was hit with 23 millimetres. Southern District steward Jason Shultz will conduct a track inspection on Saturday morning.
