Racing Victoria (RV) wishes to advise that the meeting scheduled at bet365 Hamilton on Sunday, 7 April has been transferred to Sportsbet-Ballarat.
RV Stewards have inspected the surface and determined that the track requires additional time to consolidate following its renovation and is not yet suitable to host a meeting.
As a result, the four jumps races on the program will be run on the Ballarat turf track while the five flat races will be run on the synthetic surface.
Acceptances for the meeting will now close at 12:45pm today. Trainers who have accepted for the Hamilton meeting but do not wish to run at Ballarat will need to withdraw their horses.
As a result of the transfer, acceptances for Saturday’s Avoca meeting will now close at 12pm today and Sale on Sunday will close at 12:15pm today.
The updated program as a result of the transfer is as follows:
