Rough weather has impacted heavily on upcoming race meetings in the country, with fixtures either being abandoned or postponed.
Today's gallops at Oamaru have been abandoned, while this evening's harness meeting at Forbury Park has been postponed until Saturday.
The Otaki fixture initially set down for tomorrow at Trentham willnow race on Saturday, while the Canterbury races at Riccarton Park on Saturday featuring the Greenwood Amberley Cup have been abandoned.
New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing general manager, racing and operations, David Jewell said the Otaki-Maori club fixture was shifted as a contingency to ensure two domestic thoroughbred meetings on Saturday. "NZTR, in consultation with RACE, has transferred the Otaki-Maori meeting at Trentham from Friday to Saturday, with the meeting upgraded to feature stakes."
Additional races are likely to be added to the programmes for Waimate's meeting on June 28 and the Ashburton meeting on July 5. At this stage, the Tauranga meeting on Saturday will go ahead.
