Over the past week, there has been discussion regarding planned road closures on State Highway 1 between Waipara and Kaikoura, which had the potential to impact travel to and from the Kaikoura meeting.
We’re pleased to confirm that the Kaikoura Club has successfully worked with Downer to delay the scheduled works, meaning full road closures will now not commence until Tuesday, 4 November.
However, please note that traffic management will be in place from 9:00 p.m. on Monday, 3 November, including stop/go operations and potential delays of up to 10 minutes at the Kaikoura tunnels. Participants are advised to allow extra time for travel accordingly.
For any trainers requiring overnight horse accommodation surrounding the meeting, please contact Natalie Gameson on 021 936 155. There is ample accommodation available for horses in the area.
We look forward to a successful and enjoyable two days of racing at Kaikoura.
