Today’s Turffontein programme, which was postponed from Tuesday, becomes the ninth Highveld racemeeting to be wholly or partially lost since races 3 to 9 were abandoned at the 21 December 2024 fixture.
4Racing advised earlier that, while they initially planned to proceed with gallops at Turffontein at around 07h30 today, they encountered surface water on the track after completing a full track inspection, which made it unsuitable and unsafe for galloping.
Given these conditions, and the poor weather forecast for today, the decision has been made to abandon the Turffontein meeting.
The next local fixture is scheduled at Fairview on Friday 11 April.
