Nominations
International Trainers wishing to nominate for The Championships can do so via The Championships Event Team.
Visiting horses require a Racing Clearance Notification (RCN) which is to be submitted via the racing authority where the horse is domiciled, and can be requested by the trainer or transportation agency.
Once a horse is nominated, there are three further confirmation stages, the dates for which are detailed with the race conditions.
The Championships Events Team are able to assist to ensure the nomination and entry process is as smooth as possible.
