Would 2 days at 26 degrees and a little wind not dry that up considerably enough to race?

HEAVY rains in the last two days have impacted on this weekend’s racing.
The Clairwood meeting scheduled for this Sunday 9 September has been abandoned because the track is waterlogged. The Turffontein meeting scheduled for this Saturday has been moved to Sunday, while the Kenilworth fixture will take place on Saturday as programmed.
There has been 40mm of rain at Turffontein in the last two days and the going is currently soft. Moving Saturday’s meeting to Sunday will give the surface an extra day to dry.
Moving the Kenilworth meeting to Sunday was not an option because there is rain forecast for Cape Town on Sunday.
Times for Kenilworth from Race 7 to 10 will be run 5 minutes later than carded and Turffontein times have been amended for Sunday. New race times at Turffontein are as follows:
Race 1 : 12:25
Race 2 : 13:05
Race 3 : 13:45
Race 4 : 14:20
Race 5 : 15:00
Race 6 : 15:35
Race 7 : 16:10
Race 8 : 16:50
Race 9 : 17:25
The Quartet Maxipool will now be on Turffontein Race 9 on Sunday.
Race 8 Borrowdale was related to the Clairwood meeting and will be abandoned . The Pick 6, PA and Jackpot will include Race 8 as this is indicated in the Racecard and field will apply.
