WA Racing Update – 28 August 2020

Racing and Wagering Western Australia (RWWA) would once again like to thank all owners, industry participants and race clubs for their understanding and patience as we have navigated our way through the COVID-19 pandemic.

Please see below an update regarding restrictions at WA harness race clubs.

Parade Rings and Horse Stalls
From Monday 31 August 2020, WA harness race clubs will be able to grant owners of horses participating in race meetings access to parade rings and horse stalls.

Upon further assessment, RWWA has determined that such access can be granted under the supervision of each respective club, whilst ensuring that compliance with the State Government’s 2sqm rule is adhered to at all times.

Access to owners will be provided at the individual race club’s discretion, with the race club responsible for ensuring the 2sqm rule is followed, and that physical distancing is applied where possible.
