Kumara meeting transferred to Greymouth

Kumara’s January 11 meeting has been transferred to Omoto, which will be conducted by the Greymouth Jockey Club.

After heavy rainfall over the weekend, further track inspections were undertaken at Kumara by the Racing Integrity Unit on Monday and the decision was made to transfer the meeting due to the inconsistency of the track’s surface.

As a result of the transfer, the 1810m races will increase to 2000m while the 1150m races will now be run at 1100m. A Maiden 1500m race has been added to the programme.

Those horses already nominated for the Kumara meeting will automatically be transferred into the corresponding race at the Greymouth JC meeting.
