Amendments to Scratching Procedure
RQ advises amendments to the scratching process. All stakeholders are now actively using Ozchase for nominations, as such the scratching process will be streamlined to ensure efficiency and accuracy. From June 1, 2023, scratchings will be submitted via the OzChase portal. RQ will be discontinuing the scratchings telephone line.
RQ will also bring forward the scratching deadline to 8am, this will allow stakeholders and wagering partners to access final fields at an earlier time.
The table below depicts the scratching day for each race meeting.
