TURFFONTEIN 25 April 2026 moved to Tuesday, 28 April

Please note: The race meeting scheduled for Saturday, 25 April 2026 at Turffontein Racecourse (Standside Track) has been postponed and will now take place on Tuesday, 28 April 2026. This decision follows the recording of over 60mm of rainfall at Turffontein over the past seven days, including in excess of 20mm overnight. As a result, sections of the track have become waterlogged, with conditions currently inconsistent across the course. In addition, the weather forecast for the remainder of today remains unfavourable. While improved conditions are expected from Saturday onwards, Tuesday presents the most suitable window for racing, as forecasts beyond that indicate a return to less favourable weather patterns. The decision to postpone has been made proactively, as even in the absence of further rainfall, the current state of the track would remain unsuitable for racing and could compromise both safety and fairness. As a consequence of this change: The race meeting originally scheduled for Tuesday, 28 April 2026 at Vaal Racecourse will be abandoned. An additional race meeting will be scheduled for Monday, 4 May 2026, which will be a Work Riders’ meeting. Entries for this meeting will be disseminated via the NRB in due course. Race times for the rescheduled meeting on Tuesday, 28 April 2026 will be communicated as soon as possible.
