TRACK INSPECTION at ASCOT, Saturday 14th March 2015
After consultation with the Bureau of Meteorology, RWWA Stewards and
Perth Racing have agreed to meet tomorrow at 5am to inspect the track
should rainfall occur overnight. The updated BOM forecast will also be
monitored before deciding if it is safe to proceed with tomorrow’s
scheduled Ascot race meeting.
With the forecast of heavy rain, potential flash flooding and also
destructive winds, it was agreed that a pro‐active attitude towards
making an early decision is the correct thing to do in the interests of the
wider industry.
In the event the race meeting is unable the proceed as scheduled, other
options in the proceeding days will be considered and communicated
accordingly.
