  2. Payment for the horse can only be made by bank transfer to the RQ bank account. (no bank cheques, cash, credit card payments or over the counter payments at Clubs)
  3. Claim form and a deposit receipt must be submitted to RQ Officials in advance (Forms cannot be handed over the counter to club race day staff)
