The Grand Hotel Fashions on the Field Registration Form 31 October 2010

AFL Grand Final Raceday Transfer

The scheduled meeting for 25 September 2010 (AFL Grand Final Day) at Mornington has now been transferred to Betfair Park (Sandown) for this year only. 

Unfortunately due to cold weather and high rainfall over winter, the grass surface has not established as well as we would have hoped by this time. With this in mind the Club has decided that in the best interests for the longevity of the surface, that we prolong the return to racing at Mornington by a further three weeks to allow better growth of the root system.

We are fortunate that through the recent merger we now have the ability to transfer the full meeting including the $100,000 RM Ansett Classic to Betfair Park so that the raceday still sits under the banner of the merged Club. All membership entitlements remain in place for this meeting as for all meetings at Betfair Park.

The Club is offering a free bus service to it's Members for the transferred raceday. To reserve a seat on the bus please contact the Mornington Racing Club on 5975 3310 by 5pm Friday 17 September 2010.
