The meeting was abandoned after six races.
New Zealand Metropolitan Trotting Club chief executive Shane Gloury said the abandonment was made in the interests of driver safety.
It had rained for much of the day, and during the meeting.
The track was officially slushy, and there were "visibility concerns" for drivers, he said.
The $40,000 Mares' Championship, which was to have been held last night, has been provisionally rescheduled for February 18 at Addington, Gloury said.
