Saturday’s race meeting at Doomben (March 29) has been abandoned after heavy and consistent rainfall rendered the track unsuitable for racing. Following an early-morning inspection by QRIC Stewards, the Brisbane Racing Club confirmed that the decision was made in the interest of safety.
Despite the on-track cancellation, the race day will continue in a reduced capacity as a phantom meeting, with bars and facilities remaining open for racegoers.
Patrons at the track can still enjoy a top-tier day of thoroughbred racing, with Group 1 contests to be broadcasted live for Australian Cup Day at Flemington.
Unfortunately, Rosehill has been called off due to heavy rain in Sydney as well, so the sole focus will be on Flemington.
Flemington hosts the Group 1 Australian Cup, with Pride Of Jenni aiming to continue her remarkable comeback story.
The Brisbane Racing Club is encouraging racegoers to come along and enjoy the day in comfort, with Champions and Bookies Bars open for both members and the general public.
