The Bowen Turf Club TAB race meeting on Friday, February 3 has been rescheduled to the Townsville Turf Club.
Bowen’s Ben Bolt racecourse has received more than 900mm rainfall in January, including 120mm last Friday and Saturday.
Further rain has fallen on Tuesday night, making the Bowen track unsuitable to race on. Further rainfall is forecast for later today.
Due to the rescheduling, there have been some amendments to race distances.
The rail position is out 6 metres from 1000m to the winning post, and 3.5 metres for the remainder of the course. This will allow 14 starters from the 1400m, 13 starters from the 1300m and 1200m, and 12 starters from the 1000m.
