The club took to social media on Monday to announce the rescheduling.
"Tomorrow's [Tuesday's] Scone races have been postponed until Wednesday due to the anticipated fire conditions in surrounding regions," the post read.
"Please, everyone stay safe and we look forward to hosting you all Wednesday."
The rescheduling means the race times for Hawkesbury's meeting have been delayed by five minutes.
The first race was set down for 1.25pm, but will now jump at 1.30pm. The starting times of the first three races at Scone remain unchanged.
However, the final five events of the eight-race card will begin five minutes later.
Several Tamworth-based trainers are set to make the trip to Scone, including Michelle Fleming, Mel O'Gorman and Cody Morgan.
