After drainage problems caused Leeton to call off their meeting last week, Temora followed suit this week.

With little rain falling at Temora on raceday, overnight rainfall did most of the damage with the track deemed unsuitable for racing at around 2.30pm on Tuesday.

Harness Racing NSW chief executive John Dumesny raised concerns over track preparation but admitted there was no time in the racing scheduled to recoup for lost meetings.

"You have to put a lot of it down to track preparation but track preparation can go all awry with the wrong weather conditions so they are abandoned," Dumesny said.

"There is no place to put them on the calendar as the calendar has become very full across NSW with the increased number of meetings we conduct and the increased number of races we run."

Nominations were extended for Wagga's meeting last week, which saw an additional two races added to the card, and helped bump up numbers for Young's Carnival Of Cups meeting.

Still around $100,000 in prizemoney was lost to the industry.
