Vaal 11 October switched to Turffontein
12 years 8 months ago
The race meeting on the Vaal turf straight course scheduled for this Thursday 11 October has been switched to the inside track at Turffontein.
Today’s race meeting on the Vaal turf straight course had to be abandoned after one race and with more rain forecast in the next two days, it is unlikely that Thursday’s fixture will be able to go ahead as planned.
Consequently, the meeting has been moved to the Turffontein inside track. All races will now be round the turn instead of down the straight, which will alter the significance of the draw, and connections can withdraw their runners if they wish.
It should be noted that two 1400m races carded will now be run over 1450m.
Carded runners in the races abandoned today can be entered for the race meetings at Turffontein on 16 and 18 October.

I think it is standard practise to offer the connections the chance to scratch without suspension penalties when any venue is changed..
Give everything but up!

Why - according to the comments on the Clairwood thread outside draws around the turn are of little consequence :
