The Gordonvale TC non-Tab meeting on Saturday May 11 has been rescheduled to be conducted by the Mareeba TC.
Following intermittent showers recently, a QRIC Stewards track inspection late yesterday afternoon found the majority of the Gordonvale track rated a Soft 6/7, however there are concerns about a section of the track at the 450m which is extremely heavy - which is currently just raceable on the proviso of no more rain (which is forecast).
In the best interests of the industry, the Gordonvale club, with the assistance of the Mareeba TC, have decided on the rescheduling to Mareeba.
Acceptances for the rescheduled Mareeba meeting will now close at 12 noon on Thursday 9/5/24 with jockey declaration at 1.00pm on Thursday. Any acceptances lodged for the Gordonvale meeting will be carried over for the Mareeba meeting. IE Horses not wishing to start at Mareeba that were accepted for Gordonvale, must contact Racing Australia and withdraw their acceptance.
Due to the rescheduling, there will be no fees for this meeting.
Also due to the rescheduling, there are amendments to race distances and prize money and are:
