Harness Racing Victoria (HRV) will host a free barbecue for attendees and participants on Monday July 1 at Tabcorp Park Melton.

The barbecue coincides with the first meeting in Victoria under the new national ratings-based handicapping system and members of the HRV racing team will be on hand to answer any questions relating to the new system, programming or indeed any harness racing topic.

The barbecue will begin about 12.30pm and will be supported by the Victorian Trainers and Drivers Association.
