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.

 

HORSE CONTAINMENT – GATES CLOSED:

Trainers and Float operators are reminded that all gates to the stables on Racecourse and Yaldhurst Roads are to remain closed at all times.  Please ensure that your owners, staff and other contractors are aware of this requirement.  This is a major safety issue as closed gates prevent horses escaping off the property onto the surrounding roads.

 

LICENCE DISPLAY:

To assist security in ensuring that only authorised people are allowed into the raceday stalls area it is essential that all licence-holders and licensed staff wear their licence badges so that they are always clearly visible.

Security do not necessarily know trainers and other licence holders by sight and wearing licence badges so that they are easily seen will prevent any unnecessary embarrassment in accessing the stalls area.
