One of the biggest greyhound races of the year will still go ahead at the Oxford Stadium despite the bad weather.

Flash flooding caused the Saturday card to be abandoned and work has been done to ensure the televised Cesarewitch meeting can still be staged on Tuesday.

"There wasn't too much damage and de-humidifiers are doing the trick."
