This Wednesdays Gawlers races have been cancelled and transferred to Morphettville
I have posted this in case anyone has forward plans to attend Gawler on the day
I have heard from a very reliable source why the meeting has been moved
Low Costs is the reason

can you confirm this for me Mal? I can't find any info on any of the websites around the place. I'm intending on going to Gawler Wednesday so if you can confirm it it would be greatly appreciated.

On the RISA site it says the following:
Display Acceptances Fields / Noms / Weights
Venue Date Venue Club Name Nominations Weights Acceptances
Mon 27-Dec-10 Strathalbyn Strathalbyn Racing Club 2712 2712 2712
Wed 29-Dec-10 Gawler Gawler & Barossa Jockey Club 2912 2912
Wed 29-Dec-10 Allan Scott Park Morphettville South Australian Jockey Club 2912 2912
Fri 31-Dec-10 Port Lincoln Port Lincoln Racing Club 3112 3112
But horses are nominated for both meets.
Elsewhere on the site it doesn't say anything about a transferred meet but it does say:
------- South Australia -------
Meeting: Wed 29Dec2010 Allan Scott Park Morphettville
Rail: Out 9 metres 1200 m to 400 m. 7 metres remainder. Sectional: 611 m. Penetrometer:
Weather: Track Rating: Good 3
Track Type: Turf Total Scratchings: 3
General Comment: Scr Updated 27/12 10am

Rainfall:
Track Information:
Misleading somewhat???
Put it this way I'm glad I read this site otherwise I would've rocked up to Gawler to an empty racecourse!

GADJ
Can definately confirm
Gawler is having Low Cost problems, and unfortunately have transferred the meeting to Morphetville
The low cost problem is envisaged at this stage as being a short term problem, and hopefully will be eradicated completely
Johnny Letts apparently also confirmed it on TABradio this morning
Lettsy also sited the Low Costs being the reason
