Go ahead given to Methven meeting

Methven's meeting tomorrow (Sunday) will go ahead as planned.

There were concerns that the meeting would have to be transferred to Addington Raceway after this week's poor weather in Mid Canterbury.

But after a track inspection today by a group including HRNZ representatives, club officials and the Racing Integrity Board it was decided the meeting would proceed as planned.

The track, currently rated as dead, has held up well which is a credit to the work done by everyone at the club.

The first of the day's 11 races will be at 12 noon with the feature being the Group 3 Alabar Methven Cup at 4.36pm
