The meeting scheduled for Hawke’s Bay on Saturday 27 April will now be a Wanganui JC meeting at Wanganui as the track at Hawke’s Bay requires more time after its recent renovation. The programme remains the same with minor distance changes. The Poverty Bay Cup has been transferred to The Hawke’s Bay meeting on Saturday 29 June and will be The Open 1600m race (was $40k now $55k) on that day. The Open distance race at Wanganui on 27 April will run for $40,000.

With Wanganui taking this day the meeting on Thursday 18 April will now take place at Waverley. Again there will be minor distance changes to accommodate the start points at Waverley. The programme remains unchanged.

NZTR thanks both these clubs for their co-operation at relatively short notice.
