Canberra Nations cancellation closes Acton Racecourse meet
The Canberra Nations Football League canceled plans for a two day unregistered race event at Acton Racecourse after heavy rain left the track waterlogged and sodden. Officials said the course could not safely host gallops without damaging young grass, and the decision could scupper plans to send junior teams to Brisbane and Melbourne. The league accused the AGT Jockey Club of attempting to monopolize Acton Racecourse, noting prior representations to use the course.
