Changes to Angle Park and Murray Bridge schedules
Changes to Angle Park and Murray Bridge racing schedules next week starting 22nd August
Greyhound Racing SA (GRSA) has been notified by the South Australian Power Networks that a substantial power outage is scheduled for the entire Angle Park suburb this coming Thursday 22 August, 2019.
GRSA has investigated the likely impact of this outage on our business operations and the conduct of the Thursday night race meeting. The option of utilising stand-alone generators to service that race meeting was also considered. As a result of those investigations, the risk to the Thursday night race meeting was deemed unacceptable.
Furthermore, the option to move to the Gawler racetrack next week is not available due to that timing clashing with the set-up process for the Gawler Show. GRSA also needed to be mindful that a number of finals scheduled for the Angle Park track would ideally remain at the same venue.
As a result, GRSA announces the following changes:
Noting that, as a result of these changes, the Murray Bridge Thursday night race meeting has become a unique opportunity to showcase our newest venue in a prime timeslot, GRSA will make a one-off payment of $100 for each trainer who nominates and races at that meeting.
GRSA thanks all stakeholders for their cooperation in relation to this unforeseen disruption.
