Racing Queensland confirms that following liaison with QRIC Stewards, the Cairns JC race meeting scheduled for Saturday, January 30 is intended to proceed.

The recent inclement weather encountered in North Queensland raised the possibility that the meeting might not proceed, however, an improvement in today’s weather and the forecast of improved weather over the next 24 hours have resulted in a view being formed that the meeting will continue as scheduled.

A by-product of the heavy rain which the region has endured over the last week is that the capacity to run 950m races at tomorrow’s meeting has been negated. 

Accordingly, five of the races on the program have had distance amendments from 950m to 900m (approximately). 

The affected races are Races 1 through 5 inclusive.

The track inspection which took place earlier today confirmed that the track rating will be in the heavy range for the race meeting.
