Updated Racing Schedule for April 27th to May 3rd
GRSA is continuing to manage the weekly racing schedule during the canine gastroenteritis issue, which is impacting on the number of fit and healthy greyhounds available to race. Data now suggests that the worst of the issue has now passed, and as such, GRSA is looking to a sensible and staged approach to the return of full racing in the Adelaide region. Racing at Mt Gambier will still be impacted by the Government’s COVID-19 restrictions, therefore for the immediate short term racing will be limited to one meeting per week. Please be aware of the following changes:
- Delete : Gawler Tuesday 28th April 2020 (TAB) Day
- Delete : Mount Gambier Sunday 3rd May 2020 (TAB) Day
The meeting scheduled for Angle Park on Wednesday 29th April will remain and will be Time Graded as programmed (as GRSA has not run one this month). This will result in the Murray Bridge straight track conducting three consecutive meetings (8th, 15th & 22nd April), with Angle Park returning to Wednesday’s on the 29th April to resume the normal fortnightly rotation.
Our intent is for Gawler to recommence race meetings on Friday 1st May. At this stage it is anticipated that GRSA could return to the normal schedule of six weekly Adelaide region meetings towards the middle of May. This would see Gawler race meetings return to Tuesday afternoon.
As stated earlier, Mount Gambier will continue to race once a week on Thursday until such time Government restrictions are eased in regards to cross boarder movement.
Participants should also note that in attempting to maximise the weekly schedule, the Grading Department will continue to manage nominations as they see fit in regards to full fields, number of races, G-SIX vs 8 dogs fields and the make-up of individual races, whilst trying to keep with principles previously introduced.
Separately GRSA will make further announcements next week in response to COVID 19 and how this impacts stakemoney and feature events.
