THE troubled jumps industry has hit another obstacle with four planned hurdles races at Moe in July and August being replaced with flat races.
Problems with the Moe track which was deemed unsuitable for jumps races, led to two jumps races being moved from the country track to last week's midweek Sandown meeting when steeplechaser Show Dancer was involved in a fatal fall.
Two jumps races scheduled for Moe on September 6 will be run at Warrnambool's September 8 meeting and two jumps races at Moe on September 20 will now on Bendigo's September 24 meeting.
Racing Victoria said there were no suitable venues for the July and August jumps races, but said it would divide extra jumps races during that period if there was enough demand.

THE odds-on favourite for Saturday's Group 1 $400,000 Queensland Oaks _ Arabian Gold _ is in doubt for the race after suffering a hoof injury.
Trainer David Vandyke said he wouldn't know for the next 24 to 48 hours whether she would run after a trodding on a shoe which she twisted in track work.
The shoe was removed and although she lost a bit of the wall of the hoof, she wasn't lame.
Vandyke bandaged the hoof and sent her out to work without any problems.
He is confident she will be okay.

THREE meetings programmed for Ballarat in July, August and October will be transferred to ensure the newly resurfaced track is not overused when racing returns to the track on Sunday.
In order to reduce the workload on the Ballarat track, the July 3 and August 28 meetings have been transferred to Cranbourne and the October 1 meeting to Sale.
Work at Ballarat included the resurfacing and reshaping the track and the removal of the dip.
