Racing Victoria (RV) wishes to advise that the race meeting scheduled at Warrnambool on Tuesday, 2 August has been transferred to Coleraine owing to the impacts of ongoing wet weather.
RV Stewards inspected the Warrnambool track today (Wednesday) and determined the surface would not be suitable for racing due to the state of the track.
Stewards deemed there is little chance of the track drying-out sufficiently in time for Tuesday’s meeting with rain forecast over the next week, so an early decision was taken to transfer the meeting before acceptances.
Nominations for the meeting have been reopened and will now close at 12pm (AEST) on Thursday, 28 July. Acceptances for the meeting will close at 9:15am (AEST) on Friday, 29 July.
The amended program as a result of the transfer is below.
