NOTICE: TURFFONTEIN MEETING MOVED TO THE VAAL (MAIN TRACK)
Date: 23 November 2025
Please be advised that the race meeting originally scheduled for Turffontein Inside Track on 23/11/25 has been moved to the Vaal main track.
Turffontein received close to 30mm of rainfall late yesterday afternoon, while the Vaal experienced no rainfall.
Although gallops were completed at Turffontein this morning, the track surface remains inconsistent and may not be suitable for racing later today.
With fields already on the smaller side, any additional scratchings due to the change of venue could place the entire meeting at risk of abandonment.
Considering the forecast for further rainfall at both centres today and tomorrow, proceeding with the meeting today at the Vaal offers the best opportunity to complete the card.
Please note that, due to the change in venue and required travel adjustments, new race times will apply.
