Press release from 4Racing
Johannesburg, South Africa — 4Racing advises all Trainers and Stakeholders that with immediate effect, there will be no cancellation of races at entry or declaration stage in any 4Racing Jurisdiction.
All programmed races will proceed as scheduled, provided there are a minimum of two (2) actual runners on race day.
This decision has been taken in response to the increasing practice of horses being accepted in order to ensure a race proceeds, followed by the scratching of couplings, resulting in significantly reduced final field sizes.
