Called off - safety concerns force race date change

The race meeting scheduled for Geraldton Turf Club on Thursday has been postponed to Saturday because of heat.

Stewards and vets from Racing and Wagering WA - after discussions with the Bureau of Meteorology - decided the meeting couldn’t be conducted safely.

The temperature at 2pm on Thursday, 20 minutes before the first race, is tipped to be 41 with just a nine-knot sea breeze.

The seven races will be held on Saturday, with an early start time.
