Following consultation with the Melbourne Racing Club (MRC), Racing Victoria (RV) wishes to advise of two meeting transfers from Caulfield due to the venue being unavailable following the fire in the Norman Robinson Stand.
The race meeting scheduled for Wednesday, 22 January at Caulfield Heath has been transferred to Mornington with one distance change required for the BM64 from 1800m to 2000m.
The race meeting scheduled for Saturday, 25 January at Caulfield has been transferred to Sportsbet Sandown (Lakeside) with the track set to return to racing following its major renovation.
The scheduled 1000m races will be run out of the chute on the Lakeside track with two distance changes required for the BM70 1700m which will now be run over 1600m and the BM78 2000m which will now be run over 2100m.
The Club has confirmed that Sportsbet Sandown will still run their scheduled meeting on Wednesday, 29 January which was the original return to racing date following their extended break.
The MRC will provide an update on Caulfield’s return racing once available.
The updated programs as a result of the transfers are as follows:
