Contingency Plan for Methven Races
Harness Racing New Zealand advises that significant rainfall is forecast for Methven over the next 72 hours, including up to 30mm on Saturday, prompting the introduction of a contingency plan for this weekend’s meeting.
A track inspection will be conducted at Mt Harding Racecourse, Methven, at 11am on Saturday 4 October. If the track is deemed unsuitable, the meeting will be transferred to Addington Raceway.
In that event, race distances will be amended in line with Addington’s approved start points, and Race 8 will be reviewed to meet maximum field size requirements.
HRNZ will confirm the outcome immediately following Saturday’s inspection.
