Geelong Synthetic Race Track Faces Test
- Tuesday, 22 June 2010 07:45
The reconstructed Geelong synthetic track will be tested under competitive conditions with barrier trials on Wednesday morning.
Track gallops have already been successfully conducted on the surface and a total of 55 horses will put the track through its paces in nine trials scheduled between 9am and 11am (AEST).
"The feedback following the gallops has been positive and these trials will provide us with a further opportunity to review the performance of the track prior to the resumption of racing," Racing Victoria Limited (RVL) chief executive Rob Hines said.
Race meetings are scheduled for the Geelong synthetic track on Tuesday June 29 and Friday July 2.
The meetings will be confirmed providing the track passes Wednesday's test.
