Gutted: Moe Racing Club predicted a $20,000 loss in revenue from Saturday’s meeting file photo
LOCKDOWN 5.0 delivered a cruel blow for the Moe Racing Club, who for the second time this year had to shut its gates to the general public on
race day.
Saturday’s Christmas in July meeting went ahead without spectators, mirroring what happened in February for the Local Cups and Community Race Day.
As the lockdown became official, the situation quickly became a logistical nightmare for the club.
Speaking to The Express last Friday, Moe Racing Club chief executive officer Shane Berry was understandably devastated.
“Everybody’s disappointed and frustrated … frustration is the key word,” he said.
