    The detail:

    HRV cancelled the Maryborough meeting immediately after being made aware of a potential participant COVID-19 close contact shortly before the first race.
    ....................
    After enquiring into the circumstances surrounding the participant who is a potential close contact, four people were identified as having had some incidental contact with this participant in recent days. The four individuals will not attend race meetings or interact with industry participants until the test result from the potential close contact is known. The potential close contact and the four individuals did not attend Maryborough today.

    Does anyone understand the reason Maryborough was cancelled ? If none of the people that were exposed to a "close contact" were at the track why was there any risk ? Am I missing something ?
    Don't die wondering !

    Today's presser from Dan Andrews:

    "More than 800 of those homes, the person who should have been isolating could not be found."

    Melton had 11 cases of COVID19 the last time I looked very low in an area of 68,000 people so Melton Harness racing safe for the time being but if it starts to spike? Alternative racing venues like Bendigo 22 active COVID19 cases and Ballarat which has been given a warning and is in stage 3 restrictions at the moment could be in jeopardy too lets's hope not.

    Friday's Melton meet had become a day meet with $20k metro races being run between 3.53pm and 5.07pm
    Why so?

    Mildura is now the night meet

    Edit: It is because of the 8pm curfew on Metro Melbourne
    I suppose it could be argued that they are going to work but we really must be seen to be doing everything possible if we want racing to continue

    They have already abandoned tonight's Mildura meet (was to be daytime until swap with Melton)
    The BOM website is saying they have had 12mm of rain so far today. That is a half inch in old terms - once you might have expected tracks to handle that

    Thanks
    I am not sure that this is common knowledge. Sure, drivers have the prerogative to wear one if they wish but the way Kate Gath kept pulling up her scarf after her R4 win at Ballarat tonight, you got the impression that she thought she had to

    The drivers don't seem to know that the mask must also cover your nose. Even on the track some seem to have their noses uncovered. See many people in Melbourne with the mask only over their mouth. Drives me mad. I personally don't think the masks do anything to stop the virus but at least wear them properly.
