The Wodonga-based Maher has revealed the difficulty of finding suitable races for his stable following the introduction of strict measures last week due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Victorian trainers are unable to attend racetracks in NSW and vice versa, but it hasn't stopped Maher accepting two runners to race at Albury on Saturday.

Maher's float driver can cross the Border to drop off Bad Obsession and Squillosa, but a NSW trainer must look after them during the meeting.

"I've got to do a few things to get them there, but hopefully all goes well," Maher said.

"They're only running 12 in Victoria and it's pretty hard to get runs at the minute.

"Everyone keeps trying to run them because they're worried it might stop.

"I've still got quite a few in work.

"Let's hope it keeps going. Tasmania has shut theirs up (on Thursday) so you never know."

Bad Obsession finished sixth at Wodonga last Saturday and Maher gives it a strong chance on Saturday.

"His run was good the other day at Wodonga. He's racing very honestly, he was two or three wide the trip and battled on well," Maher said.

"It's the right sort of race for him, so he won't be too far away.

"The other mare (Squillosa) has been a bit disappointing, but hopefully she'll go a bit better."

The meeting is a non-TAB event with the first of six races starting at 11.30am.
