A jury is due to be sworn in tomorrow in the trial of former champion jockey Kieren Fallon, who is accused with others of a race-fixing scam.
But the 12 jurors will be sent away until Monday when the case is due to open at the Old Bailey in London. The trial was originally due to begin this week but was delayed by flooding in the courtroom.
The accused, who are all on bail, are alleged to have taken part in a plot to defraud punters using Betfair. Fallon, 42, is being tried alongside fellow jockeys Fergal Lynch and Darren Williams.
Also charged are Lynch's brother, Shaun Lynch, former racing syndicate director Miles Rodgers and Philip Sherkle.
They are accused of conspiracy to defraud between December 2002 and September 2004 by interfering with the running of horses to ensure they lost races, defrauding Betfair punters and others putting money on the races.
Rodgers is also accused of concealing the proceeds of crime.
