Racing NSW Stewards have conducted an inspection of the Coffs Harbour course proper following 50mls of rain overnight and 155mls for the week and determined there was no opportunity for a track improvement and therefore deemed unsuitable for racing.
Further, the Stewards conducted an inspection of the Grafton course proper and determined the venue to be the most suitable alternative with the Coffs Harbour meeting scheduled for Thursday (2nd December) now being transferred to GRAFTON.
Following 25mls of rain overnight the track at Grafton is rated a Heavy 10 with the weather overcast and the track requiring further improvement. Hence, Racing NSW Stewards will conduct a track gallop at 6am on Thursday.
The rail position is as follows: out 4.5m from 1400m to 800m; out 5.5m from 800m to 350m where cutaway applies; true the remainder. As a result the following race amendments apply:
