Agree with Wednesday and Thursday bringing relief from the rain.
Thursday day and night will be ideal.
Still not too late to reschedule.

Gallop shows this meeting now moved to Thursday evening.

Watching the news KZN is a disaster area as far as the heavy rains and flooding.

Meeting if it goes ahead, has moved to Thursday evening due to rain forecast on Friday. Hillcrest has had 355mls on rain since midnight on Sunday. 483mls since 1st April.

Yes Craig my daughter in Kloof house is under water 💧 😪

I will be shocked if we race on Thursday evening.

We have had lots of rain!!!

The horses are more likely to swim than run...so much of water standing as nowhere to go...so many flooded homes and damaged infrastructure and deaths...

Stay safe...

Horse racing in KZN is not a priority right now.

KZN has been drenched by record-breaking rainfall over the past few days, with Hollywoodbets Greyville having received a total of 247mm during this time.
As of this morning, penetrometer readings in some areas of the track were as high as 45. With current overcast conditions, the chances of the track drying up sufficiently for Thursday night’s race meeting is remote and Gold Circle has taken an early decision to move the race meeting to the Polytrack. First race off at 16:30.
Meanwhile, more than 150mm of rain has fallen at Hollywoodbets Scottsville over the past few days and the penetrometer readings as at 12:00 Wednesday 13 April varied from 35 to 58. With more rain predicted for the weekend, an early decision has been made to move the race meeting scheduled on Sunday, 17 April to Hollywoodbets Greyville. Every attempt will be made to stage this race meeting on the Turf but that will depend on the weather.

Taking all of the above into consideration, Gold Circle has made the decision to switch the race meeting on Sunday 24th April from Hollywoodbets Greyville to Hollywoodbets Scottsville. Entries for this race meeting close on Thursday 14 April at 11:00.
