After looking at forecasts, and discussing with the clubs and RIB, below are updates relating to the Taranaki and Rotorua Meetings on Saturday and Sunday respectively. These have been approved by Entain/TAB NZ.

Taranaki - 17 August

We note that the worst of the weather is currently forecast for mid-afternoon Saturday. To this end the meeting has been brought forward two races with Race 1 now scheduled for 11.20am and Race 8 at 3.15pm. NZTR and Taranaki Club believe this will give the meeting the best chance to take place uninterrupted.

Rotorua – 18 August

Despite rain predicted on Saturday/Sunday NZTR believes the best decision is to proceed with the meeting as it stands. If, after a track inspection on Sunday morning, this meeting cannot proceed then it will be postponed 24 hours until Monday.
