The Avondale Trials scheduled to run today have been transferred to Thursday 12 September.  The fields will remain the same and scratchings will be re-instated.

Given the change in date, scratchings will not be charged for those who no longer wish to participate. 

The Te Rapa Trials due to run on Tuesday 17 September will now be held at the Whangarei racecourse.  This change has been made to allow the Te Rapa trials track to recover from regular recent use in heavy conditions.

NZTR in conjunction with the Northern Region programming Chairman looked at all available venues prior to making the decision to go to Whangarei.  There were no other options closer to the originally programmed trials at Te Rapa.
