A composite picture showing where floodlights will be placed along the home straight for the Avondale Jockey Club’s introduction of night gallops next year. The Avondale club is spending about $3 million on a new floodlighting system. There will be 54 floodlighting masts around the track, and 11 nine-metre columns for car-park lighting. Installations will begin in October, and the lighting system will be used for the first time next March. The Avondale club has 17 permits, and its secretary, Mr John Wild, expects most of them to be used for night meetings.
