INDUSTRY NOTICE

HRSA has undertaken an extensive review of the current programming structure, including prizemoney levels and the number of country penalty races conducted in South Australia.

Following extensive consultation, valuable feedback was received from the Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) and directly in writing from many industry participants.

After considering all feedback received, HRSA has made a decision to maintain the current levels of prizemoney for country, graduation and non-penalty races in South Australia.

However, in order to maximise field sizes and provide participants with the opportunity to find suitable races on a more regular basis, up to twelve (12) races will be programmed at each meeting. At acceptance time the Racing Office will determine how many races are to be conducted and which races will be combined or deleted.

Finally, HRSA very much appreciates the considerable feedback from industry participants in relation to this matter.
