      Owing to persistent rain and the prospect of more rain leaving the track underwater and unsafe, the Oamaru HRC has made the early call to transfer Saturday’s Oamaru ‘Brothers In Arms meeting’ to the all-weather track at Oamaru Racecourse. As a result, Oamaru Christmas at the Races 2018 has been cancelled.
