Stewards walked the track late on Tuesday after a day of showers and decided it would not be fit for racing in the next two to three days.
Racing Queensland decided to abandon the meeting which, had 63 acceptors, rather than find another date.
Saturday's meeting is at Doomben, which has also had more than 110mm but it is in no danger at this stage.
