    I sort of knew that things must be getting back to normal in July because within the story

    https://www.thetrots.com.au/news/art...ior-to-july-1/

    about strengthening the last of the regional meets, I saw a link to the Feature Race List (this should have been a story in itself IMO)

    https://www.thetrots.com.au/general/...ure-race-list/

    and they start July 4
    But I must have missed the media release about the end of the regions (still cannot find it)
    But I heard it on WIN Ballarat news tonight so that is good

    So when will we be once again allowed to attend a trots meet?
    With the announcement that stadiums with a capacity of <40,000 will be allowed to host 25% capacity, what does it mean for the trots?
    Anybody heard anything?

    NSW have just started letting owners in and members in. Owners get first crack and must register beforehand with the club, then it gets opened up to members. Capped at a certain number which escapes me right now.

    Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) is on track to move out of region-based racing on July 1 (next Wednesday) and has set July 13 as the target date to resume racing at all Victorian tracks.

    I reckon the spike in Victoria's virus cases is still a fair chance of ruining this

    Although they say

    HRV is monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic daily, adhering to all Government advice and protocol, and has not ruled out reverting to a regional racing model if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the industry.

    You would think that to be safe not sorry they should do it now instead of releasing this calendar

    If you look at the postcode map, Melton 3337 is pretty close to Locked down 3038

    All the Metro gallop tracks are in the lock down area, I bet they continue to race. It would be considered as going to work and the gov needs the taxes.
    Don't die wondering !

    I am not worried about the track as such Rick but more the trainers and drivers. I think we should revert back to being smarter than the gallops. By not having all our trainers and drivers coming in contact with each other - a covid 19 case need only lockdown 20-25% of our participants. If say Chris Alford is driving at the majority of our tracks and he comes down with it - how many people have to isolate?
