The process is slightly different to what we know as a standard raceday at Wellington Racing Club. Although some of this process is over and above the framework guidelines, this raceday has been planned for stricter protocol for months, to ensure you have the best possible raceday experience there are a few aspects that cannot change in such short leadtime.
