Signs are positive that the rescheduled Omakau thoroughbred meeting will go ahead today. The meeting was to have been run on Wednesday but a malfunctioning sprinkler caused a section of the Omakau track to become unsafe. Local horses were galloped on the track yesterday morning and there were no problems, Davidson said. As of the last inspection last night, prospects for the meeting werelooking good", Davidson said. Waikouaiti’s annual meeting was also called off on Monday after just one race, after several horses slipped on the home turn.
