The Grand National Steeplechase and JJ Houlahan Hurdle have been rescheduled for August 9 at Ballarat.

The $250,000 Grand National Steeplechase and the Houlahan Hurdle were to be run on Sunday at Ballarat but that meeting was moved to Geelong because of a heavily rain-affected track.

Geelong doesn't conduct jumps races so only the six flat races were transferred.

Racing Victoria on Monday announced the new dates for the two jumps features.

Due to the rescheduling of the Grand National Steeplechase and the Houlahan Hurdle to the August 9 meeting, the South Australian Grand National Steeplechase and South Australian Grand National Hurdle have been moved back a week to August 15 at Morphettville to avoid a clash.

Racing Victoria's racing operations manager Paul Bloodworth said they considered running the two jumps features this Saturday at Warrnambool but heavy rain meant the jumping paddocks there were unusable this weekend.

A benchmark 120 hurdle and three-year-old maiden flat race have been removed from the August 9 program to accommodate the jumps features.

An open steeplechase race at Bendigo on August 16 has been deleted from the program to avoid a clash with the SA Grand National Steeple a day earlier.
