Newcastle Jockey Club uses Pro-Ride® track

Newcastle Jockey Club will use its Pro-Ride® track for the first time for an additional set of barrier trials at Broadmeadow Racecourse on Tuesday 19 August. Racing NSW Chairman of Stewards, Ray Murrihy, recently approved use of the synthetic track for trials.

Newcastle's Pro-Ride® track was introduced for trackwork in November 2003. Newcastle have been extremely pleased with the performance of the surface over the last 5 years & requested a refurbishment of the surface earlier this year following last year's massive June storm.
