After receiving 437mm of rain in July, the Cape Storm hit on Thursday 11 July, this resulted in flooding across all our facilities. Despite this, the Winter track recovered swiftly and was on course to host tomorrow’s meeting.
Unfortunately, we have received a further 60mm of rain over the weekend. This extra rainfall has left the track just short of recovery time for tomorrow, resulting in the decision to abandon the race scheduled for Monday, 15 July.
We are expecting a reprieve in the weather this week with lighter rainfall for next weekend. The improved drainage at our tracks gives us a good chance of hosting these meetings without further delay unless greater rain is received than forecast.
To assist with the lost meetings we have added a further meeting next Monday, July 22nd.
We may add a further meeting on Wednesday, July 24th. This will depend on demand at acceptances for our meetings scheduled in the next seven days.
Cape Racing is committed to replacing as many lost meetings as possible over the season’s final weeks.
