Racing Queensland confirms that the Sunshine Coast Turf Club race meeting today, Sunday, April 21, has been abandoned.
The decision has been made following a track inspection, which found that parts of the surface are not suitable for racing on following very heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours.
Consideration was given to the potential transfer of the meeting to the venue’s Polyytack however this was not deemed viable at short notice.
Under the RQ Race Meeting Abandonment Policy, compensation will be payable to participants.
Participants have been advised via SMS.
As a result of the abandonment, an additional race has been added to the program for the Club's meeting on Thursday, April 25:
- 2YO Handicap - 1000m - $85,000 + QTIS
Nominations for this race only close at 10am, Monday, April 22.
For ballot purposes, those horses which were original acceptors from the abandoned 2YO Handicap at Sunshine Coast today will be afforded preference.
