January Hamilton meeting transferred to Colac

Racing Victoria (RV) wishes to advise that the meeting scheduled to take place at Hamilton on Tuesday, 6 January 2026 has been transferred to Colac, with a section of the track at Hamilton still deemed unsuitable for racing.

Following an inspection of the surface at Hamilton on Wednesday morning, a section near the 300-metre mark which previously suffered damage due to a burst water pipe is unlikely to be repaired sufficiently in time for the club to host the meeting in January. 

As a result, the meeting will be transferred to Colac with the switch of venues prompting a change to the distance of four of the eight races on the program. 

The full program is detailed below:
