Due to the small number of New Zealand nominations remaining in this year’s Inter Dominion there will be no heat run at Addington. Initially fourteen New Zealand horses were nominated for the series however a number of factors have led to the decision including several scratchings and at least three of those nominated horses currently campaigning in Australia.
The conditions for the series read as follows:
If any Qualifying Heat falls below 8 nominations by Friday, 30 January 2015, then horses will need to accept for the NSW Supplementary Qualifying Heat at Tabcorp Park Menangle.
Should this clause be activated there may be two (2) NSW Supplementary Qualifying Heats conducted.
A decision on whether a second Supplementary Qualifying Heat will be made at a later date based on the quality and quantity of nominations remaining.
