A flu virus has recently spread through the barn area at Hastings Racecourse and it continues to have a significant impact on the horse population.
Hastings Racecourse apologizes to patrons for any inconvenience caused by these scheduling changes. The Saturday, July 20th lost day may possibly be made up at some point during the balance of the 2013 meet.
