Tokyo City Cup Naming Rights Won by Centre Racing
- Monday, 20 January 2003 00:00
Twenty-five companies all vied for the opportunity to become race name sponsors of the 2003 Group 3 Tokyo City Cup, a principal feature race in the Jayco Summer of Speed Festival.
The February 15, $100,000 event is one of the of most valuable races of its grade in the country and for the fourth year the SA Jockey has conducted a unique sponsorship lottery that sees the winner not only gain the naming rights to the race but also win a year round sponsorship package and a trip to Japan to witness the running of the Adelaide City Cup.
Previous winners have been Blackwell Funerals (2000), SA Independent Forwarding (2001) and Rawsons Electrical (2002) but the company identified as the 2003 sponsor at Friday nights draw was Centre Racing, a Northern territory licensed bookmaker, offering telephone and internet betting.

Other prize winners were Forrest Estate Wines, Honda Australia, Silverline Security and Bonnetts Saddleworld.

McEvoy also picked up two points with his other runner, Rainbow Echo.
The days other feature; the Feltex Carpets New Years Gift was won by the quality mare Devil In Disguise, trained by Bill Papazaharoudakis. There were more points for Lindsay Park as the former Western Australian Lady Knockout finished fourth.

Big Dry Forces Adelaide Meeting Transfer for Saturday
- Wednesday, 22 January 2003 00:00
The eight event card was to have been held at the near city course (Victoria Park) but a decision was made late yesterday to shift the card to Cheltenham.
Thoroughbred Racing South Australian (TRSA) racing manager Ian Hart said a hard track and the forecast of an extremely hot day on Saturday were the main reasons behind the move.
It is understood some trainers who had runners at Victoria Park last weekend were a little concerned about the state of the track saying some horses had pulled up a little "proppy."
"The main concern is over the hardness of the (Victoria Park) track," Hart said today. "And the irrigation at the track is not as advanced as our other tracks."
Hart said early predictions of a maxium temperature on Saturday of a staggering 41 degrees was the finaliser.
"You also must look at the patrons as well," Hart told Cyberhorse. "Cheltenham is much more user friendly on days of extreme heat."
Officials telephoned every trainer for runners at the meeting to advise of the shift and news of changes to the distances of six races.
"The (distance) changes shouldn't really impact on the meeting too much," Hart added. "I know one trainer was not happy about us changing one of the distances, but we just amended them to the closest possible distance."
There will be no requirements to shift further meetings away from Victoria Park in the near future as that track isn't due to host a race meeting until Anzac Day.
The following distance changes are advised:
- $24,000 Open Handicap - 1822m (was 2000m)
- $22,000 Fillies and Mares Handicap - 1466m (was 1500m)
- $22,000 Three-Year-Old Handicap - 1316m (was 1300m)
- $20,000 Two-Year-Old Handicap - 1000m (unchanged)
- $20,000 Special Conditions Handicap - 1416m (was 1400m)
- $20,000 Class 6 Handicap - 1266m (was 1250m)
- $15,000 Class Four Handicap - 1000m (unchanged)
