Stewards abandoned the meeting after four races, deeming it unsafe for racing owing to limited visibility.

Ballarat and District Trotting Club CEO Paul Rowse said Harness Racing Victoria rules stated that all stewards’ towers must visible from the main tower, which at Bray Raceway is situated just past the finish line.

Stewards initially delayed the scheduled 8.30pm race 30 minutes before making a final call shortly after 9pm.
