means that the numbers of bookmakers are restricted to no more than 10 and the

previous year’s bookmakers have first rights.

All Bookmakers are required to field on Local Events in addition to any other board of

their choice from the main meetings in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide on that

day. Bookmakers will not be supported by a fluctuations service from the AJC Pricing

Fluctuations Service.

Bookmakers wishing to field at any particular meeting are required to confirm their

nominations to the Secretary of the Club by Wednesday noon preceding the meeting.

and will be replaced by any new bookmakers form the waitlist.

Bookmakers will nominate for their preferred position from the TWO choices by the

day for remote stand if more than one bookmaker applies and the successful bookmaker

will be advised that day to allow enough time to staff the remote stand accordingly.

Unsuccessful Bookmakers will also be advised and then participate in the Main Ring

Draw under their preferred option. That draw will be conducted at noon on Friday as

normal.
