Greyville postponed
14 years 5 months ago
Tonight's Greyville meeting has been postponed to tomorrow night. Sod's Law - the rain which missed much of Durban couldn't miss the effing racecourse, could it? The meeting is subject to another inspection tomorrow, and if the going is still unfit it will be abandoned and rescheduled for another date.

11 JANUARY 2011
Heavy rains fell over the Greyville Racecourse last night and, in terms of Clause 8 of the National Fixtures Committee's policy, the race meeting scheduled for tonight has been postponed to tomorrow night, Wednesday 12 January.
"While much of Durban was relatively dry last night, 32mm fell at Greyville and the penetrometer reading this morning averaged 37," said Gold Circle's Racing Director Graeme Hawkins. "With more light rain and relatively high humidity expected today, the conditions for drying are not ideal and, while the forecast even tomorrow is not encouraging, we have decided to buy some time and postpone this race meeting to tomorrow night. A further track inspection will take place tomorrow morning and in the event of us not being able to race, the meeting will be abandoned and rescheduled for a later date," he added.

If the forecast is not encouraging for tomorrow why not run at Scottsville? (As long as the weather is okay there)?
