GENERAL MATTERS

The Race will be conducted under the Rules of Racing, being the Australian Rules of Racing and Racing NSW’s Local Rules of Racing, a copy of which is available from Racing NSW’s website.

​

Racing NSW and the Australian Turf Club may at their absolute discretion reject the declaration by a slot licensee of a horse that is not regarded as being of metropolitan standing.

​

The Race is scheduled to be run on Saturday 19 October 2024 at Royal Randwick Racecourse, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.  However, the Slot Licensors may, in their absolute discretion, run the Race at any Sydney metropolitan racecourse within 8 days of the scheduled date of 19 October 2024.  Further, in the event that the Race is cancelled or not run for any reason, including a force majeure event, then Racing NSW will refund the Slot Licence Fee within 7 days and no prizemoney will be payable.

​

Racing NSW may refuse the nomination and/or acceptance of any horse in the Race for any reason permissible under the Rules of Racing.  Further, in the event that the nomination and/or acceptance of a horse in the Race is refused, or the horse is scratched or disqualified under the Rules of Racing, then the Rules of Racing apply in respect of any prizemoney.

​

The Board of Racing NSW and or Australian Turf Club reserve the right to decline any nomination and/or acceptance lodged with Racing NSW, ATC or Trainers Service Centre (TSC) from a licensed trainer with outstanding debts from any Group or Listed race previously conducted by the ATC.

​

All slot license, nomination and acceptance fees shown are exclusive of GST.

           

Nominations for the above race shall only be received on condition that the Rules of Racing and Regulations of Racing NSW now or hereafter in force shall be binding in all respects.

​

The Everest Committee reserves the right to make from time to time any alteration or modification to the conditions governing the race, and also to alter the date and time for receiving nominations, payments and acceptances.

​

AR.112. (f) For the purpose of calculating the value of prizemoney earned in other countries by a horse which is entered for an Australian race, the rate of exchange shall be used which was current on the first working day of January of the year in which such prizemoney was earned, as determined by a Trading Bank nominated by the Australian Racing Board.

​

All currency amounts quoted are in Australian Dollars ($AUD).

​

Scratchings and Substitution of Emergency Horse(s)

​

If Slot Licensee’s horse is scratched before 7.30am on the day of the Race:

a).  with a certified veterinary certificate approved by Racing NSW and confirmed by Racing NSW’s industry veterinarian, as determined by Racing NSW in its absolute discretion, then the Slot Licensee will be permitted to select one of the remaining available emergency horses to run in the Race on the terms and conditions set out in 7.14. If there is no emergency horse available, the Slot Licensee will receive last place prizemoney;

​

b). without a veterinary certificate approved by Racing NSW and confirmed by Racing NSW’s industry veterinarian, as determined by Racing NSW in its absolute discretion, then the Slot Licensee will not be entitled to a runner in the Race and the Slot Licensee will forfeit the right to any prizemoney;

​

c). If an emergency selected by slot licensee pursuant to 7.11 (a) above is then subsequently also the subject of a scratching accompanied by a veterinary certificate, the slot holder may select another emergency in accordance with 7.11(a).

​

d). Where horse declared by a slot licensee is scratched in accordance with 7.11 (a), the slot licensee must nominate the emergency runner to take that horse’s place in the field as soon as practical and not later than 120 minutes after the time of scratching. If an emergency has not been selected within this timeframe, the Everest Committee may at its discretion assign a horse to that slot licensee.

​

If Slot Licensee’s horse is scratched after 7.30am on the day of the Race:

a). with a certified veterinary certificate approved by Racing NSW and confirmed by Racing NSW’s industry veterinarian, as determined by Racing NSW in its absolute discretion, then the Slot Licensee will not be entitled to a runner in the Race and receive last place prizemoney;

​

b). without a veterinary certificate approved by Racing NSW and confirmed by Racing NSW’s industry veterinarian, as determined by Racing NSW in its absolute discretion, then the Slot Licensee will not be entitled to a runner in the Race and the Slot Licensee will forfeit the right to any prizemoney.

​

If Racing NSW receives a Racing NSW veterinary report after the Race Acceptances Date and before 7.30am on the day of the Race that a particular horse is not, or cannot reasonably be expected to be, fit to compete in the Race, then Racing NSW under the Rules of Racing may scratch the horse. Clause 7.11 (a) will then apply as if the horse was scratched with a certified veterinary certificate approved by Racing NSW.

​​

In the event that an emergency horse is selected to run in the Race in place of a horse scratched by the Slot Licensor pursuant to clause (or by Racing NSW pursuant to clause 6.15 (a) then the following terms and conditions are agreed between the Slot Licensor and the owner(s) of the emergency horse:

​

a). The owner(s) and trainer of the emergency horse retain all responsibilities under the Rules of Racing.

b). The emergency horse is to run from the scratched horse’s barrier.

c). The prizemoney is to be paid as follows (including Local Rule 72 allocations).

d). The Everest Winning Owner’s Trophy will belong to the slot licensee if an emergency horse wins The Everest.

e). The jockey of any emergency horse running in The Everest will wear the racing colours determined by the slot licensee.
