The Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) Stewards advise that commencing this Wednesday, 28 July 2021 all standing start races conducted at Tabcorp Park Melton will be started via an electronic mechanism replacing the current hand-held method.
The electronic mechanism has been tested extensively at the Tabcorp Park Melton trial meetings.
After this initial period of use at Tabcorp Park the effectiveness of the mechanism will be evaluated and installation at further venues will be considered.
