Randwick races postponed after heavy overnight rain
Missile Stakes, the first group race of the season in NSW, may remain despite the postponement of the meeting at Randwick on Saturday.
Australian Turf Club and Racing NSW officials were talking about the Randwick meeting after the 45 -mm rain and was washed in the early hours of the morning on Saturday, and after washing the Group 2, which was alone in the program, was re -planned more than 1200 meters. This meant that the course was 87 mm last week and 174 mm in the last 30 days.

Considering the more rain forecasts throughout the day, the commissioners called for a call immediately after 7.30.
“We’ve bought more than 45 mm since nine o’clock last night,” said Racing NSW Chief Tom Moxon Sky Racing.
“We did a runway just before six o’clock this morning, and the feedback from the riders was as heavy as possible at that point, but we didn’t need more rain and unfortunately fell shortly after the rain.
“There are some parts of the surface water of the runway. Even though we are sure that the surface water will disappear without rain during the morning, unfortunately we do not have this guess.
“We will definitely need to improve, and unfortunately we do not have these estimates to give us confidence that we can go through the meeting today.”
Although the state card in Newcastle will continue on a heavy 10 tracks, the meetings in Casino and Louth were washed.
