Qld Feature Meeting Postponed to 11 July

Following Saturday’s postponement of its scheduled feature race meeting, Racing Queensland confirms that the Sunshine Coast Turf Club race meeting will now be held on Sunday, July 11. Abandoned due to the state of the track – there were three Group and Listed races carded – racing Queensland reports the decision to reschedule the meeting has been made to ensure that participants are not denied valuable metropolitan and black-type racing opportunities, and the Club retains its showcase Caloundra Cup race meeting. The metropolitan race meeting’s rescheduling has necessitated the movement of the previously programmed Sunshine Coast Turf Club meeting on Sunday July 11, to Tuesday July 13. The same original program from Saturday 3 July has been retained, however given the eight days which will elapse between the originally scheduled date and the replacement date, fresh nominations will be called for. To that end, the revised deadline schedule for the meeting is:

• Nominations: Tuesday, July 6 at 11:00am
• Weights: Wednesday, July 7
• Acceptances: Thursday July 8, at 9:00am
• Riders: Thursday July 8, at 12:00pm
