Racing is back at Kenilworth today with the going reported as good to soft
The Kenilworth track showed its quality and durability after over 130mm of rain fell on Friday and was declared to have ‘galloped like a carpet’ earlier today
There are not many options open to the organisers with another cold front forecast for Sunday
The false rail is set at zero on the back straight, to 3m on the turn – with a 3m spur at approximately the 550m mark
Temperatures are forecast to reach into the early 30’s with eight races carded at Kenilworth today
The false rail is in the original position with a 5m spur at the 470m mark
The Kenilworth fourth race forms part of the new Blitz racemeeting format, which is in operation from yesterday
Following 17mm of rain in the last 24 hours and 28mm in the last 7 days, with more forecast; there are concerns that the track will not dry out sufficiently
Former SA Champion jockey Andrew Fortune’s six month quest to be relicenced to ride again reaches something of a watershed
