Heavy rain wreaked havoc on the Easter Monday program at Randwick with two of the three stakes races scheduled for the course proper transferred to the Kensington track and the final race abandoned.

The Keith Mackay Quality and the Hall Mark Stakes, both over 1200 metres, were switched to the inside course with races pushed back 20 minutes after the third.

The delayed starts meant the light was fading by the time the last race was due and it was cancelled in the interests of safety.

The Listed Fernhill Handicap (1600m) was the only race on the main track where the Doncaster meeting will be held on Saturday.

The Keith Mackay for two-year-olds was won by Readyor in the absence of Sunday Rose who had been favourite but was withdrawn by trainer Bart Cummings due to the track downgrade.

Cummings had no qualms about starting Kroner on the wet in the Hall Mark and the $3.30 favourite gave his supporters little cause for concern, beating Wasted Emotions by 1-1/4 lengths.

He also claimed the honour of a Kensington track record of 1:12.97 for a distance rarely run on that course.

"He has been gelded and has learned to settle," Cummings said.

"Peter Robl rode him well, he held him up and it was very pleasing.

"We will look at another race in Sydney and then maybe think about Brisbane."

Cummings said the program for Sunday Rose was now uncertain.

The filly just missed a start in the Golden Slipper and missing another run meant she would not start in Saturday's Sires' Produce Stakes.

"She is no good in the wet," Cummings said.

"I think there might be a race for her on Saturday week. It looks as if it will still be wet this week."

Readyor also missed out on a Slipper start but could now head towards the Group One Champagne Stakes (1600m) on Saturday week.

The Jack Denham-trained Readyor is raced by Geoff and Beryl White and her victory was some compensation for their leading three-year-old Tobique missing the AJC Australian Derby with an injury.

"Tobique will be fine," Geoff White said.

"At first we thought it was a chipped knee but it's not as bad as that so he will be back for the spring.

"This filly will go on to the Champagne Stakes now and that's something to look forward to."

Readyor is by More Than Ready who has proven himself as a sire who can produce horses to race on all surfaces with Phelan Ready and Sebring winning the last two Golden Slippers on heavy tracks.

The filly's dam is Satyric, a daughter of the Whites' grand mare Triscay who won the 1990 Champagne Stakes and went on to win the AJC Australian Oaks and the Queensland Oaks.
