Feature races moved after Farm wash-out

Saturday 8 February 2020, 7:40am

The two major sales-related races from the abandoned Warwick Farm meeting will be run at the track's next midweek meeting.

The $2 million Inglis Millennium and $1 million Inglis Sprint have been added to Wednesday's program as has the Gardenia Handicap (1600m).

Saturday's races were called off because of two sections of the track affected by heavy rain with more forecast over the next two days.

The Listed Lonhro Plate (1100m) for two-year-olds will now be held at Randwick on Saturday, replacing the Pierro Plate (1000m).

A 1000m-benchmark 88 sprint has been added to the Randwick program with an 1100m-race for two-year-olds an addition to the Kensington meeting on January 19.

Racing officials have indicated they will also look to find a new timeslot for the Group Three Eskimo Prince Stakes.

With the transfer of the two rich Inglis races to Wednesday, Racing NSW stewards have agreed to alter the dates of Glyn Schofield's careless riding suspension.

Schofield was outed at last Wednesday's meeting and originally scheduled to begin his ban from Tuesday but will now start on Thursday.

He is booked for the Chris Waller-trained Accession in the Sprint and the Edward Cummings-trained Sunborn in the Millennium.
