Queensland chief steward Josh Adams says he has ticked off the \u201cback to normality\u201d Eagle Farm race track after an important set of jumpouts on Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Eagle Farm<\/a> has had a very different look in the period since a meeting was sensationally called off when Robbie Dolan<\/a> fell last July, with jockeys at the time feeling that horses were shying at a building on the point of the turn.<\/p>\n

Racing returned to Eagle Farm when an expensive \u201csight screen\u201d and trackside hoardings covered in mesh were established as a method of covering up construction of the building.<\/p>\n

There have been no major incidents since and the building has now been completed.<\/p>\n

Portions of the \u201csight screen\u201d came down several months ago and the last of the major scaffolding came down following the Eagle Farm midweek races last Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Only a small section of black fence, about 10 metres long, is likely to remain.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Racenet on Monday morning, Adams said: \u201cWe had jumpouts at Eagle Farm this morning to return back to normality after the construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been ticked off with jockeys no longer needing to go and \u2018sight\u2019 the home turn pre-race, although we will continue the process with early season two-year-olds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eagle Farm is set to host an eight-race midweek meeting on Wednesday. <\/p>\n
