The Owner

  • All owners will need to complete a two stage screening process. This includes the ROA COVID-19 online learning module and a personal health assessment to be completed in advance of raceday, followed by health questions and a temperature check on arrival at the racecourse. 
  • Owners will access Ayr racecourse by turning off Whitletts Road at the traffic lights at Tesco following the private racecourse road to the checkpoint where they will remain in the car to go through temperature checks answer health questions and be issued with a wrist band. You will then enter the PR car park. 
  • All owners and guests should continue to observe social distancing guidelines and wear face coverings for the duration of their visit. 
  • All owners, guests and representatives must bring Photo ID with them to the racecourse. It is not essential to bring your PASS card. 
  • Owners on course will have access to a dedicated owners zone, which will be separated from raceday workers (trainers, stable staff, jockeys, officials, media etc.), who have undergone a more rigorous health screening process. For infection control purposes no movement will be permitted between the two areas of the racecourse.
