Nottingham's six-race card has been cancelled after the track failed a 9.30am inspection.
The inspection was called following 36mm of overnight rain, which left the course unsuitable for racing.
Clerk Paul Barker said: "We've had 36mm of rain overnight and into this morning. It's just stopped raining, but we have a couple of waterlogged areas in place.
"The rain started at 9pm on Monday and was persistent all night. Looking around the area, it looks as though we've had most of the rain. It seems to have all fallen on us and it never really eased this morning, it kept raining all the time and unfortunately we've not had chance to recover."
Racing at Beverley will go ahead after the course passed its morning inspection.
The track faced a 7.30am inspection after the Met Office issued a yellow weather warning for rain in the area, but following only 1.8mm of rainfall overnight the inspection was passed.
The six-race fixture begins at 2.30pm and the going is now soft after being soft, good to soft in places on Monday.
Heavy rain has already impacted racing in Britain this week after Newton Abbot's jumps card on Monday was cancelled just hours before it was due to begin after areas of the track were left waterlogged.
A yellow weather warning for rain was put in place overnight for most of England and parts of Scotland.
Britain's other fixture is an all-weather card from Kempton in the evening, where the going is standard to slow. Ireland's sole meeting is the second day of Killarney's July festival.
