Due to continued rainfall today, and in addition to the 115mm already recorded, the Super Saturday Canon Gold Cup Race meeting scheduled for Greyville on 30 July 2011 has been postponed and will take place on Sunday 31 July. All race times remain unchanged for this venue.
Gold Circle and sponsors Canon are jointly committed to doing everything in their power to ensure that the Canon Gold Cup Race meeting, which features four Grade 1 events, takes place before the close of the 2010/11 Racing Season on 31 July, hence the decision to initially postpone to this date.
However, should conditions not improve sufficiently to stage this event on Sunday, Gold Circle and Canon have agreed that a further postponement to Saturday 6 August will be considered to ensure that this showcase raceday takes place for the benefit of all of horse racing’s stakeholders.
“This has been a difficult week for us all but most especially for the trainers and their charges and we sincerely regret the disruptions caused by the heavy unseasonal rains,” said Gold Circle’s Racing Director Graeme Hawkins.
