NOMINATIONS EXTENDED & CHANGES TO SCHEDULE
Trainers should please note that nominations for the Murray Bridge Straight Track meeting on Tuesday 17th November have been extended until 9.00am tomorrow (13th November).
At the close of nominations GRSA had received just 18 nominations which is insufficient to run a race meeting. Nominations are called for all grades & distances.
GRSA recognises that the low numbers may be caused by the transition to the new racing schedule, which commences next week, with trainers taking time to adjust. However, as was the case with the introduction of Saturday mornings at Angle Park, it is imperative that all meetings are supported equally across the weekly schedule.
To support the schedule, GRSA will (a) revert back to G-SIX for all meetings, and (b) reduce the total number races being conducted at certain meetings, starting with Angle Park Monday and Gawler Wednesday next week. These limitations may be necessary for future meetings to ensure the viability of the whole racing schedule.
GRSA wishes to remind participants that under the Wagering Activity Payment (WAP) stakemoney distribution model, the loss of any race meeting will negatively impact wagering and therefore monthly WAP stakemoney payments. Therefore it is crucial to have the ongoing support of all race meetings across the weekly schedule to maintain wagering revenue.
