The Foxton thoroughbred horse trial meeting planned for tomorrow has been pushed back to Thursday due to a heavy rain forecast in the next 48 hours.
A statement from New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing said the postponement would reduce the risk of having to abandon themeeting due to surface water on the track. The track was currently rated a heavy 10.
More than 30mm was forecast to fall in the next 24 hours. A MetService weather forecast showed skies clearing from Wednesday with a mainly fine day expected.
All current nominations will remain in the Thursday fields. Additional nominations for Thursday’s trials will close at noon on Wednesday.
