Official message:
"Due to over 51mm of rainfall in the past 24 hours, the Turffontein track is waterlogged and unsuitable for racing. In contrast, the Vaal Classic track has received only 2,5mm of rainfall and is in excellent condition.
"The move to the Classic track ensures that all seven races will run around the bend, as originally planned.
"However, given the relatively small field sizes, significant scratchings due to the venue change may result in a further reduction in the card, and a decision to abandon the meeting will be considered if necessary.
"Races 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7 will now be contested over 1450m, while all other distances remain unchanged. Race times will proceed as originally scheduled."
