Interim works to improve Wentworth Park track

Following recent events at Wentworth Park, including the Million Dollar Chase on 20 October 2018 and extraordinarily high rainfall and storm damage since late November 2018, the Wentworth Park track surface has been subjected to increased strain.  GRNSW has been made aware of an associated increase in injuries since these extraordinary events.

In an immediate response to the increase in injuries and concerns of trainers, GRNSW has worked with the GBOTA and today overseen harrowing of the track. The work undertaken today is expected to resolve the track issues and reduce further injuries to enable racing to continue at Wentworth Park. Scheduled track maintenance, including full renovation of the surface, will go ahead on 20 January 2019. 

In light of the remediation works undertaken today, the current racing schedule remains uninterrupted.  Scheduled races on Wednesday 14 January 2019 and Saturday 19 January 2019 will proceed as normal.

If you are a trainer and wish to register any concerns please contact David Aldred daldred@grnsw.com.au.
