With the reinstatement of Alert Level 3 in Auckland and Alert Level 2 in other regions at least until midnight Sunday 7 March, NZTR and Foxton RC and Racing Rotorua have determined that the Foxton and Rotorua Trials meetings will be run ‘behind closed doors’, meaning that owners and public will be unable to attend.

While this will be a disappointment to those affected, the short lead in time to allow for preparations led to the decision to return to closed-door meetings to protect industry participants.  Announcements regarding attendance at other meetings will be made in coming days.

Contact tracing, social distancing and encouraging the liberal use of hand sanitizer will also be reintroduced at these meetings.
