Excessive rainfall experienced in recent weeks has seriously hampered the spring treatment programme at Clairwood Racecourse and parts of the track have not recovered sufficiently.
As a consequence, Gold Circle has decided to move this Sunday’s meeting to Greyville to avoid having to race at Clairwood twice within 48 hours. The false rail will be positioned at 17m and the distances of 1450 and 2500m races will be changed to 1400 and 2400m respectively
