Tomorrow’s bet365 Park Kilmore meeting has been transferred to bet365 Wodonga due to the state of the track owing to Victoria’s inclement weather.
Racing Victoria (RV) Stewards inspected the Kilmore track this afternoon and determined that it was currently unsuitable for racing and that a section between the 350m and 200m was unlikely to dry in time for tomorrow’s meeting.
RV explored several options for the transfer venue, however the impacts of rain this week; existing commitments with the racing calendar; and/or scheduled annual renovations meant that Wodonga was the closest available venue tomorrow.
The transfer has required the distances for five of the seven races to be changed and the field limit reduced on the other two. The program changes are as follows:
