RACEMEETING INFORMATION:

 

GOING TO START ACCESS TO POLYTRACK:
Horses and jockeys will leave the Birdcage from the ‘Winners Gate’, travel around the outside of the Course Proper to the crossing and enter the Polytrack from there. Cones will mark out the strip of the Course Proper to be used. After the race horses will return to the Birdcage the same way and enter the Birdcage as usual.

 

COVID 19 ORANGE TRAFFIC LIGHT:
Under the NZ COVID-19 Protection Framework ORANGE which applies on Thursday everyone is able to attend this meeting without any restrictions other than the usual racing regulations. Entry is FREE and we hope to see as many people as possible attend.

 

OWNERS PRIVILEGES:
Owners’ privileges are detailed in the NZTR ‘Owners Letter’. Owners are advised that the best parking, in front of the Grand National Stand, is accessed from the Steadman Road entrance. Trainers please make owners aware of this information. Owners are invited to lead winners back to scale and retain the presentation lead.

 

OWNERS PAVILION:
Owners are invited to join the Club and sponsors for a drink before their race in the LOVERACING ‘Owners Pavilion’ situated on the south side of the Parade Ring.

 

FLOAT ENTRY: Float Operators and Trainers are reminded that all floats are to enter Riccarton Park through the Steadman Road gate. The Racecourse Road entrances no longer provide access through into the horse float containment area.

 

FLOAT PARKING: All Floats to use the containment area. Trainers and Float operators are advised that it is a requirement of the Canterbury Jockey Club Horse Containment Policy that all floats unload and load within the confines of the contained Float Park. Horses are not to be unloaded or loaded anywhere other than within this area.

 

LICENCE DISPLAY: To assist security in ensuring that only authorised people are allowed onto the racecourse and into the raceday stalls area it is essential that all licence-holders and licensed staff wear their licence so that they are always clearly visible.
Security do not necessarily know trainers and other licence holders by sight and wearing licences so that they are easily seen will prevent any unnecessary embarrassment in accessing the stalls area.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE YOU NEW SEASON 2021/2022 LICENCE.
