Please note that the Turffontein meeting scheduled for tomorrow, 28 March 2026, has been moved to the Vaal main track.

A further 12mm of rainfall was recorded at Turffontein overnight, while the Vaal received no rainfall in the same period.

Both centres have, however, experienced significant rainfall over the past week.

A track inspection conducted now has shown that the back straight on Turffontein Standside is waterlogged and has surface water.

An early decision has therefore been taken to relocate the meeting.

Distance changes are as follows:

• Races 3, 4 and 5 will now be run over 1200m

• Races 6 and 7 will be run over 1700m.

Race times remain unchanged.
