The Winton JC race meeting has been transferred from Ascot Park racecourse to the Gore racecourse.

The Ascot Park venue has had a lot of heavy rainfall in recent times and as a result the Gore track will present a better surface to race on.  This decision has been made following track inspections of several venues in the Southland region. 

There have been three distance changes as a result of the change in venue.  The confirmed programme is below:

OPN 2000m Winton Cup

R72 1335m - (previously 1600m)
