Racing Victoria (RV) wishes to advise of changes to race times at Caulfield and Bairnsdale on Wednesday, 18 December due to hot weather forecast across the state.
The Caulfield meeting was originally scheduled to be held as a twilight fixture, however following advice from the BOM that the hottest part of the day will be through the twilight period, the race times will be brought forward with the meeting to begin at 11am and conclude at 2.40pm.
The Bairnsdale forecast is slightly cooler than Caulfield and as a result the race times have been brought forward an hour with the first race now scheduled for 12.10pm and the last race to be run at 3.50pm.
