RACEDAY STALLS:
9 Stalls by the dam are going to be in use:
Given the probability of a high number of starters there may well be pressure on tie-up stalls on Saturday. In the interests of fairness and co-operation Trainers are asked to work together in managing the use of tie-up stalls. The 9 stalls by the dam will be available for use which makes 120 stalls in total and small matters of co-operation can make a big difference such as:
• Returning horses to the Visitors/Permanent Stables as soon as possible after racing.
• Not leaving single stalls between groups of horses.

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.

OWNERS PRIVILEGES:
Owners’ privileges are available from the Raceday Office. Please refer to the NZTR Owners Letter for full details of benefits.

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 clearly visible at all times.
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.
