With Covid movement restrictions Canberra raced at Queanbeyan on a Good 4 surface after Race 1.  It raced fairly. Nick Heywood rode a double. Training honours were equally shared.

Wouldn't take much for a couple of first-starters to give this a shake in a wide open maiden on an improving track. One of them, four-year-old Criterion mare 5. AFTERSHOCK (Barbara Joseph, Paul & Matt Jones/Jordan Mallyon; 57kg) has been in work for a long time, and can start with a bang. Hasn't publicly trialled since earlier in the year, but this isn't strong and stable loves to get them ready. The betting will naturally have a big say!

The Canberra Racing Club wishes to announce the transfer of the race meeting scheduled for Saturday, 25 September 2021 at Thoroughbred Park to Tuesday, 28 September 2021 at Queanbeyan. The Club once again thanks Racing NSW and the Queanbeyan Racing Club for their support to provide the local industry with the opportunity to race.
