Trainers and drivers are reminded that only licensed participants (trainers, drivers, stablehands) with a horse engaged at the meeting and essential staff are currently allowed entry to Victorian harness racing meetings following Harness Racing Victoria’s (HRV) response to the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday.
This means no family members (including children) travelling with participants will be permitted entry to the meeting. Under the rules of racing, trials are considered race meetings, so the restrictions will apply to trials.
These measures are to protect the health and wellbeing of industry participants and staff, as well as fans, by minimising the risk of the COVID-19 virus being spread.
