Racing Victoria (RV) wishes to advise that tomorrow’s meeting at Cranbourne has been transferred to Moe due to the condition of the track.
The Cranbourne track was inspected by Stewards today who advised of a wet patch between the 650m and 500m mark which is currently unsafe for racing.
Given the forecast for today and tomorrow, it is unlikely this section of the track will improve and therefore the decision was made to transfer the meeting to Moe which is currently rated a Heavy 8. All scratchings for this meeting have been reinstated with trainers having until 7:30am tomorrow morning to withdraw their horse.
Moe Racing Club were also scheduled to host a meeting this Saturday, 7 August however as a result of taking tomorrow’s transfer this will now be moved to Bairnsdale.
With Saturday’s meeting being transferred, nominations will be reopened for the Bairnsdale meeting until 12noon tomorrow with acceptances closing at 9am on Thursday, 5 August.
The updated programs for the Moe and Bairnsdale meetings are as follows:
