Saturday’s horse racing at Randwick has been dramatically called off at the last minute and a mad scramble has followed. Racing NSW Stewards made the call on Saturday morning after heavy and persistent rain smashed Sydney. Rated in the soft range on Friday, the course proper was downgraded to a heavy 10 early on Saturday morning before a track inspection by Racing NSW stewards at around 8am AEST deemed it unsafe for racing.
“The track is not suitable to race. “We had half an inch overnight, an equal amount this morning and it is still raining. “The rain is leaving the track in a state where we can’t be satisfied that we could safely conduct races. “I think to bring people here to race is going to waste everybody’s time.” A this stage it is unclear if any races, including the $200,000 Listed Civic Stakes, will be rescheduled.
