Notes

1       Restricted Age races are considered between C2 and C3 grades in middle distance and sprint

2        SPECA sprint races, not Club Features, will be considered between C0 and C1 Races

3      Second or additional races must have 8 dogs, with exception that the Club reserves the discretion at High Grade meetings only to card C3 to C5 middle distance and sprint races with eight or more dogs.

4         50% of the combined grade field must be of the higher grade dogs.  The exception being for combined middle distance grades where there must be a minimum of three runners from the higher grade.

5   The Selector has discretion to combine two grades with a lesser percentage of higher grade dogs to achieve a full card of racing, i.e. 12 races.
