After gallops were held this past Wednesday, the decision was made to abandon both the mid-week meeting and the meeting scheduled for today, July 20th. The track staff and jockeys felt that with 15-20mm forecast to fall on Thursday and Friday, it would not leave enough time for the track to recover. Unfortunately, we received 70mm over this period which has now cast major doubts over recovery for the track for the meeting on Monday, July 22.
We have therefore decided to postpone this meeting to Wednesday, July 24.
This gives the track two extra days to recover under favourable circumstances according to the latest weather forecast.
The postponement till Wednesday now serves up a period of four race meetings over six days, including back-to-back racing across both our venues next week. We are looking forward to hosting an action-packed end to the season.
Race dates and venues:
Wednesday 24 July: HWB Kenilworth
Thursday 25 July: HWB Durbanville
Saturday 27 July: HWB Kenilworth
Tuesday 30 July: HWB Kenilworth
