Today’s meeting at the Vaal has been abandoned.
The track is waterlogged and the underfoot conditions are deemed to be unsafe.
Horses were galloped on both the main and Classic tracks to test the state of the turf and it was the unanimous opinion of trainers, riders, track management and the National Horseracing Authority that the surface was waterlogged and inconsistent and the meeting should be abandoned.
This followed 40mm of rain over the previous 24 hours, with more rain forecast for today.
