Rockhampton (Qld) - Monday 8th April 2024
Racing Queensland (RQ) confirms that following a further track inspection this afternoon the Rockhampton Jockey Club (Capricornia Sales) Race Meeting which was rescheduled from Saturday, April 6, to tomorrow, Monday, April 8, has been abandoned.
And, whilst the weather in the area has improved, the rainfall which has occurred subsequent to the meeting’s original postponement has been sufficient for officials to deem that the track is not suitable for racing on tomorrow.
RQ has, following the abandonment, collaborated with RJC officials to reschedule the club’s two flagship Cap Sales Races (2yo Classic & 3/4yo Classic) to its next meeting which is programmed for Thursday, April 18. Fresh nominations/acceptances for these races will be called for, however for ballot purposes, those horses which were original acceptors for the two races will be afforded preference. Nominations aside, the remainder of the conditions pertaining to these remain as have been previously published.
It has also been considered necessary to reschedule the Open (1200m) Handicap which has been lost through the abandonment & accordingly that race too has been added to the April 18 program – this meeting will now comprise 12 races.
Deadlines (Nomination/Acceptance) for the 3 rescheduled races on April 18 will be the same as have been previously published by RQ for the race meeting in its entirety.

Whilst the majority of the track is considered safe to race on, the chute areas at the 1600m & 1350m start points are not, a consequence of the significant rainfall which fell in Brisbane on Wednesday/Thursday & Friday evening. Consideration was given to amending the distances of some of the races on the program for the meeting to proceed, however the changes would be too significant for that to be a viable option.
RQ & BRC are also considering the potential to reschedule the meeting in its entirety to tomorrow (Sunday), however the likelihood of the affected parts of the track recovering in time for that to take place is deemed remote. Stakeholders will be advised as soon as possible of the final position in this regard.
Participants with racing engagements at the meeting will be advised of the abandonment by way of SMS messaging.

Consideration was given to rescheduling to another club, but the current dry period and existing racing calendar meant a replacement venue could not be sourced.
Due to the cancellation, RQ will be aggressive with any potential division of races in the region and additional races have been added to the following race meeting:
PENTLAND RC – SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25
Benchmark 45 Hcp 1200m $10,000
BURDEKIN RC – TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 28
Benchmark 45 Hcp 1460m $21,000

The track has been closely monitored over the past week in the hope that an improvement in the weather might potentially provide an opportunity for it to dry out in time for the race meeting to proceed. Despite that, there are unfortunately still two areas of the racing surface (near the 500m point on the circuit) which have not dried sufficiently for tomorrow’s race meeting to take place, with rider and equine safety being the absolute priority in the decision-making process.
As a consequence of the abandonment, RQ will give close consideration to the potential for the programming of alternative racing opportunities within the region during the next 7-10 days.
Trainers and riders with pending engagements at the meeting will be notified by way of SMS messaging.

Sunshine Coast (Qld) - Sunday 10th July 2022
Racing Queensland (RQ) confirms that following further inclement weather the Sunshine Coast Turf Club race meeting on Sunday, July 10, has been transferred to the Poly Track at Corbould Park.
The decision to transfer the meeting has been made following a track inspection this afternoon and the determination by officials that irrespective of the weather which prevails over the next few days there is little likelihood that the racing surface on the course proper will recover sufficiently in time for Sunday’s race meeting to proceed on it. The track is also recovering following its taxing workload on what was a very heavy surface at the club’s Caloundra Cup meeting Saturday gone and to run a further race meeting on it this weekend would likely have a significant (and negative) impact on its capacity to accommodate meetings already programmed for it in the coming weeks.
The transfer of the meeting has necessitated changes to the distances and starting limits of some races on the program. Detail pertaining to these changes is:
• Class 1 Handicap – was 1000m, is now 1100m and the starting limit is 14;
• Open Handicap – was 1000m, is now 1100m and the starting limit is 14;
• Ratings Band 0-62 Handicap - was 1200m, is now 1100m and the starting limit is 14;
• Class 3 Plate – was 1000m, is now 1100m and the starting limit is 14;
• Benchmark 58 Handicap – remains at 1400m and the starting limit is 12;
• Maiden Plate – was 1800m, is now 1600m and the starting limit is 12;
• Maiden Handicap – remains at 1400m, and the starting limit is 12;
• Three-Year-Old Handicap – remains at 1600m, and the starting limit is 12; and
• Two-Year-Old Handicap – was 1000m, is now 1100m and the starting limit is 14.

Warwick (Qld) - Thursday 7th July 2022
Racing Queensland (RQ) advises that following a track inspection the Warwick Turf Club race meeting programmed for Thursday, July 7, has been abandoned.
The track was inspected yesterday and due to the prevalence of surface water was considered unsafe for racing on at that time, however the decision to abandon the meeting was delayed in the hope that an improvement in the weather might potentially provide the opportunity for it to dry out sufficiently. Further rainfall has however negated that possibility hence there is now no likelihood that the track could recover in time for Thursday’s meeting to proceed.
As a consequence of the abandonment, RQ will give careful consideration to the potential for the programming of alternative racing opportunities within the region during the next fortnight.

Doomben (Qld) - Wednesday 25th May 2022
Racing Queensland (RQ) confirms that the Brisbane Racing Club’s Doomben Cup race meeting which was rescheduled yesterday to Wednesday, May 25, has been abandoned.
The abandonment decision was made following further consistent rainfall (30mm) over the past 24 hours and the determination that irrespective of the weather over the next 72 hours, there is no possibility that the track will recover sufficiently for the race meeting to proceed.
Cognisant of the importance the major races on the program have from a holistic Winter Carnival perspective, Racing Queensland and Brisbane Racing Club have reprogrammed the following races to the Brisbane Racing Club race meeting at Eagle Farm on Saturday, May 28:
• XXXX Doomben Cup (Group 1) – WFA, 2100m. Final acceptances for this race close at 9:00am, Tuesday, May 24;
• ANZ Bloodstock News Roses (Group 2) - 3yo Fillies, 2100m. Fresh nominations called for and close 11:00am, Monday May 23; and
• TAB BRC Sprint (Group 3) – Handicap, 1300m. Fresh nominations called for and close 11:00am, Monday May 23.
To facilitate the rescheduling of these races it has been necessary to transfer two races from the Derby Day (May 28) meeting as follows:
• Benchmark 80 Handicap, $75,000, 2200m - to Brisbane Racing Club meeting at Doomben, Monday, May 30; and
• Benchmark 85 Handicap, $75,000, 1600m – to Brisbane Racing Club meeting at Doomben, Wednesday, June 1.
The Derby Day race meeting will now comprise a 10 race program.
The City Property Services Bill Carter Stakes (Listed) 2yo Fillies, 1200m, has also been rescheduled and will now be run at the Brisbane Racing Club meeting on Saturday, June 4.
Wednesday’s abandonment has also resulted in the requirement to reprogram the following races to Saturday, July 9 at Doomben:
• Magic Millions Pam O’Neill Stakes (Group 3), Fillies & Mares, 1600m;
• XXXX Chief De Beers (Listed), Quality Handicap, 1110m, and
• Impressu Darby McCarthy, 3yo, Set Weights, 1110m.
Racing Queensland and Brisbane Racing Club would have preferred to reschedule these races to an earlier race date in the Carnival however to avoid programming congestion and to the possibility of compromising the existing Black Type Race schedule, the July date is considered the only suitable replacement opportunity for them.
The final programming amendment will result in the following 2 races from the original Brisbane Racing Club’s abandoned (May 21 and then May 25) Doomben Cup meeting being transferred to the Sunshine Coast Turf Club race meeting on Friday, June 3:
• Benchmark 85 Handicap, 1200m, $75,000; and
