The clerk of the course’s main duties on a raceday are to oversee the smooth running of racing. I also provide Going reports so that the sports participants and owners are fully communicated to in relation to the conditions here at the track. I am also responsible for the safety of all participants including horses and jockeys. This involves management of our Medical, veterinary and Grounds staff teams. I also oversee the management of the racing surface and track facilities including the stables, Parade ring and weighing room on a day-to-day basis.
