2017 PETstock Ballarat Pacing Cup
BDTC are wishing to advise the connections of horses intending to enter the Cup of some additional information which will assist them both at the barrier draw function and on Cup night.
BARRIER DRAW FUNCTION
- Cup nominations to close on Monday 16th of January 2017 at noon with HRV Racing Office.
- Acceptances taken at 4:00PM the same day (automatic unless withdrawn).

- Connections intending to nominate for the Cup need to advise BDTC (see below for contact details) of their intentions to be present in person at the barrier draw function to draw their own barrier. If not, they must nominate a designated person to do so on their behalf otherwise a BDTC designated person (guest) would draw the barrier on their behalf.
