The Harness Racing Australia (HRA) Executive is responsible for administering the conduct of the Australian Harness Racing Feature Race Calendar.
As part of the HRA Executive meeting on 1 April 2020, the members considered the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the current season feature race calendar.
Mindful of the potential effects of COVID-19 on stakemoney, coupled with the importance of group status, it was agreed that the advertised Group Status of feature races could be retained despite a reduction in stakemoney.
Importantly this decision is contingent upon the race conditions for such races remaining unchanged and extends to the conclusion of the current 2019/20 season.
The Feature Race Calendar will be shortly amended to reflect the changes.
