After two years operating on a Sunday and Friday, the Albury Racing Club announced on Thursday it would revert back to its previous model for 2019.
Former Albury mayor Henk van de Ven and Canberra trainer Barb Joseph were among those to voice their disapproval at the Sunday-Friday split earlier this year.
Albury Racing Club ended the tradition of a Thursday-Friday carnival in 2017 when it secured a heat of the rich country championships series and held the event on the Sunday before the Gold Cup.
The country championships heat returned to Wagga this year, but Albury retained the split days arrangement.
