Officials were forced to abandon the meeting after 73mm of rain lashed the Kembla track in just 48 hours ahead of Saturday's proposed eight-race card.

Racing NSW steward Chris Polglase conducted an early morning inspection and deemed the surface unfit for racing after it was downgraded to a heavy (10) the previous afternoon.

That was after it was forced to stage eight races on Wednesday as provincial tracks help accommodate grandstand renovations at Randwick.

"If we hadn't raced on Wednesday, we probably would have been pretty right," Anderson said.

"It was through some divoting, not that there was much out there, that was causing the issue.

"We just lost out and I hate losing race meetings. That's what you're here for.

"It's there to be raced on and not to be looked at and the boys have worked pretty hard," Anderson added.

It was a bitter pill to swallow for Anderson's staff, who have been forced to battle through the busiest racing period for the ITC in more than a decade.

Kembla had been slated for 10 race meetings in just a nine week period.

"It stood up really well to the racing over that period, which was a heavy schedule, but it was only the excessive rainfall which got us in the end," Anderson said.

"I suppose it has [the weather] finally caught up with us. It's dodged us a few times in the nine-week period we have raced."

Racing will return to Kembla Grange on Saturday, February 18.
