Nice try but...The synthetic track failed to save Thursday's Geelong meeting after sloppy conditions forced stewards to call a halt after the first race. The meeting had been switched from Ballarat to Geelong but heavy rain turned the 'cushion' track into a wet slop, and it was just too dangerous to race. In other news, Racing Victoria says heavy rain in western Victoria has forced Saturday's Camperdown Cup meeting to be rescheduled to Jan 26.
