Country Racing authorities have cancelled the remainder of the picnic racing season, which means that this Saturday’s Alexandra Race Club meeting (Mar. 21) will bot go ahead.

Alexandra Race Club President Mr Chris Walsh says this afternoon’s decision affects all picinc racing across Victoria, including clubs such as Mansfield and Alexandra.

Mr Walsh said that although it was disappointing that the meeting would not proceed, the welfare of patrons and committee members was paramount.

The club’s eyes are now on the next meeting, planned for Cox Plate day in Spring 2020.
