Apparently there is a chance that this might happen...due to the Madiba situation.

So what would happen if it was delayed for a month? what weights would change..

ps its only a horse race,wouldnt matter if it was delayed or just went ahead,the racing fraternity could pay their respect from Greyville

Hibs are you serious...if he passes away we will have at least a week of official mourning...plus which sponsor will want to be seen as celebrating.

In that case the race will have to be postponed for a month at least,you can`t train a horse to the minute then run a week later ...
