At 11am Sunday 13 November Stipendiary Stewards and Canterbury Jockey Club Management inspected the work that has been undertaken at Riccarton Park since the abandonment of racing during NZ Cup Day Saturday.

That work included mowing with front mounted mowers and the application of the Verti-Drain machine to assist in alleviating any compaction.

9mm of rain fell on Saturday night and Sunday is a warm day with a moderate wind.

The Stipendiary Stewards see no reason for racing not to resume with the remainder of the programme at Riccarton Park on Monday.
