Too good to be true, I was looking forward to a good wet grass track

Harness Racing New Zealand advises that significant rainfall is forecast for Methven over the next 72 hours, including up to 30mm on Saturday, prompting the introduction of a contingency plan for this weekend’s meeting.

A track inspection will be conducted at Mt Harding Racecourse, Methven, at 11am on Saturday 4 October. If the track is deemed unsuitable, the meeting will be transferred to Addington Raceway.

In that event, race distances will be amended in line with Addington’s approved start points, and Race 8 will be reviewed to meet maximum field size requirements.

HRNZ will confirm the outcome immediately following Saturday’s inspection.

30 mills doesn't seem that excessive, or has the track suffered damage  from the last meeting

Seems odd Methven and Washdyke so close together on same day.

If the meeting goes to addington race 8 is going to be interesting. Who scratches? The president or past president take 1 for the team and scratch one of their horses!!
