A maximum of two trials have been scheduled for Te Rapa on Sunday, approximately 30-40 minutes prior to Race 1. These are open to ALL horses that have won a race and will be run over 1050m. Any balloting requirements will be done on ratings. Nominations close with The Bureau at 12 noon Thursday 10 September.

This is to alleviate pressure at Ellerslie on Tuesday where the maximum number of horses able to trial is 160. This is for safety reasons.
