A: The curve has flattened yes but it has been due to things like social distancing, and while some restrictions have been relaxed in NSW, the Premier was still very clear that even when visiting now, we must continue to social distance. The boxing protocol was put in place from a social distancing perspective, and all other jurisdictions are continuing with it. We will also do so for the time being. GRNSW and GWIC will continue to work with clubs to ensure starters perform this role as efficiently as possible.
A: This is one of the factors we are looking at closely at the moment. We have sought advice to determine whether it will be feasible and acceptable for people to travel to Wentworth Park under the strict biosecurity measures. As I have said, we will continue to work on a solution and let everyone know when we come to a decision.
A: The Ladbrokes Maiden and Super Series have proven extremely popular at both Dubbo last week and as you said at Ladbrokes Garden this week. We are very grateful for Ladbrokes coming on board to sponsor this series. Like everything which is happening during this period, be it from kennelling procedures to biosecurity and safety measures, to racing programs, all will be looked at closely and if there are things which have been done and should remain for the betterment of the industry, then we will consider implementing those things.
A: Gosford has been temporarily added to the Hunter region while maintenance is being conducted at the Maitland racetrack. When racing is able to conducted at Maitland again, racing will resume there.
