Following this morning’s inspection at Ōtaki-Māori Racecourse, the meeting scheduled for Friday 20 June will proceed.

 

The track, rated a Heavy10, was galloped under wet conditions across the repaired sections. Representatives from the RIB, RTA, Ōtaki Racing Club and NZTR observed three pairs of horses gallop from the 1400m to the winning post. The surface was deemed suitable for racing.

 

With a positive forecast, further drying is expected. Ōtaki Racing Club, NZTR and the RTAs will continue to monitor the track through to raceday on 20 June.
