- Rule 303: Trainers’ Licences
This amendment will correct a grammatical error in the Rule. The current Rule, as worded, requires a person to have held a Class A Rider’s Licence for at least two years and held a Class A Miscellaneous Licence for at least six years before he/she might be considered for a Class A Trainer’s Licence. The intention of this Rule is one or the other, not both.
TRAINERS’ LICENCES
303 A Class A trainer’s licence may only be granted to a person who:
(a) has attained the age of 18 years;
(b) as his primary occupation, trains race horses;
(c) has:
(i) held a Class A rider’s licence for at least two years; or
(ii) held a Class A miscellaneous licence for at least six years; or
(iii) previously held a Class B trainer’s licence;
(d) is competent to train race horses;
(e) owns or occupies appropriate Trainer’s Premises; and
(f) is financially sound and of good character.
- Rules 104, 208(h), 307, 317A, 322(1), 323, 324, 325(3), 327(1), 328, 330(4), 533 & 801(1) and Regulations for Trials (4) & (7): Stable Foreman
These additions to the Rules will provide for a new category of Trainer’s Licence – Stable Foreman. This recognises the value and importance of a role currently being performed by many suitably qualified persons within the industry but not provided for in the Rules. It would also provide for licensing someone at the appropriate level who is not in a position to accept joint liability required in a Training Partnership but who is in a position of senior responsibility within a training stable.
DEFINITIONS
104 Class D miscellaneous means a licence issued pursuant to Rule 317A. It may also be referred to as a Stable Foreman’s Licence and the holder as a Stable Foreman.
Licence means one of the following licences:
(a) Class A, Class B, Class C, Class D or Class E rider’s licence;
