GOLD CIRCLE PRESS RELEASE

 

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.
