THE Ballarat Cup meeting will have a much different atmosphere this year, with the general public not permitted to attend owing to COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria - as has been the situation since early in te year and throughout the spring carnival.
In addition to licensed persons such as jockeys, trainers and strappers, and essential race day staff, only a select number of owners will be permitt to be on-course.
Ballarat Turf Club chief executive officer Belinda Glass said the club was increasing this limit from 10 to 30 owners per race for Cup Day.
She said they would be given entry to the course pre-race, entertained in the Tea House and then have to leave the track after watching their horse race.
