Chief Stipe Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 MEETING NEWS Te Rapa Steeplechase(s) Abandoned for Saturday The steeplechase(s) scheduled for the Waikato meeting this Saturday 7 May will not take place due to the extreme firmness of the steeplechase course. With zero rainfall over the last seven days (and a fine forecast) the course that is used for the steeplechase has come up a Firm1 with a moisture meter reading of 12.3%. 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.
