Next week's Gawler meetings moved to Angle Park
NEXT WEEK’S GAWLER MEETINGS MOVED TO ANGLE PARK
(Conditions listed below)
As the new Gawler lure system moves into the testing and commissioning phase, the decision has been made to delay the commencement of racing for an additional week. This will result in the meetings set down for Sunday 4th December and Tuesday 6th December to be transferred to Angle Park.
This decision has made to allow the appropriate level of testing of the lure system to minimise the risk issues associated with the new infrastructure. The reliability of the system is of the utmost importance for the welfare of the greyhounds that will compete behind the lure.
GRSA originally set a fairly aggressive timeframe in regards to completion of this project, however delays in the delivery of equipment and longer than expected installation has seen the project run over time. That being said, the revised project schedule of just six weeks compares extremely favourably to a project like Horsham which is facing a six month closure.
The revised schedule in regards to this project is as follows:
- Wednesday 7th December – Trialling (night session)
- Thursday 8th December – Trialling (morning session)
- Sunday 11th December – Race Meeting
Please note the following in regards to the transferred race meetings:
- Sunday 4th December – Gawler meeting run at Angle Park, non-penalty, trainers can scratch without penalty, finish on lure
- Tuesday 6th December – Angle Park Provincial 2 meeting with Category 2 stakemoney, finish on lure
GRSA apologises for any inconvenience caused by this additional delay.
