Following an RQ and QRIC track inspection, the Herbert River Jockey Club (Ingham) non-TAB race meeting scheduled for Saturday, November 18 has been cancelled.
An extended dry period with no rainfall, together with the club having limited access to water, sees the track too firm to be suitable for racing.
Consideration was given to rescheduling to another club, but the current dry period and existing racing calendar meant a replacement venue could not be sourced.
Due to the cancellation, RQ will continue to look at scheduling races in the region, with additional events having been added to the following race meeting:
Pentland Race Club – Saturday, November 25
- Benchmark 45 Hcp - 1200m - $10,000
Burdekin Race Club – Tuesday, November 28
- Benchmark 45 Hcp - 1460m - $21,000
