After a six month trial ended 30 June 2011, the following conditions are confirmed:- 1. An official barrier trial conducted on a raceday must be run over a distance of at least 800-metres, ridden in by licensed jockeys, apprentices or approved riders with no less than four starters (LR5). 2. If at the closing time of nominations less then four horses are entered then the Stewards or race club officials will (whenever possible) contact the trainers of those horses nominated and offer the opportunity of nominating additional horses for the trial to bring the field to the minimum required number of four starters 3. If a trainer referred to in Clause 2 without due cause; a) fails to present such additional horse(s) to trial or; b) presents an additional horse to trial that is deemed uncompetitive by Stewards, then the privileges of Clause 2 of being invited to add a late nomination may not again be extended to such trainer 4. A horse which holds a race acceptance may not be instead added to a trial field From 1 July 2011, Racing NSW will monitor the practical outcome of the conditions above and review the process if required.
