All weather meeting rained out
After 30mm of rain had fallen, dangerous patches at the 1200m and 500m markers were detected following the running of the Barrier Trial.

The Sporting Post has requested a comment from Gold Circle.
The next racemeeting at Greyville is carded for Friday evening, 19 October.
