The steeplechase(s) scheduled for the Waikato meeting this Saturday, May 7, will not take place due to the extreme firmness of the steeplechase course.

With no rainfall over the last seven days (with a fine forecast) the course that is used for the steeplechase has come up a Firm1 with a moisture meter reading of 12.3 percent.

The scheduled hurdles will take place as programmed as they race on the course proper, which will be irrigated as per the normal track management plan.
