Alice Springs IMPORTANT RACE DATE CHANGES
Date posted:
Due to a number of reasons, not least of all the reduced Darwin Cup Carnival and lead-up, the lack of riders in the NT and the shortage of flights between Alice Springs and Darwin, the TRNT Board has moved to make the following date changes to Alice Springs meetings over the coming months. This will mean racing each weekend in the NT (with the exception of 18/19 July) and will assist with rider movements between the centres. In July, hopefully the flights return to some sort of normality but June is still very restrictive.
The changes approved (and agreed to by the Racing Commission today) are as follows:
