Analyse race performance
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024
This unit of competency supports stipendiary stewards, race handicappers, and other nominated persons in determining, collecting and organising information to effectively analyse race performances of greyhounds and harness or thoroughbred horses.
Competencies attained in this unit apply to the greyhound, harness or thoroughbred code of the industry. Consequently when performance criteria are applied they will relate to the greyhound code or the harness code or the thoroughbred code, and statements of attainment for this unit will reflect this distinction.
This unit can be contextualised for other industries while also maintaining the integrity of the unit.
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to conduct procedures related to pre and post-race checks of a range of written documentation and audio or visual records to analyse race performance. It requires knowledge of rules of racing, training practices, track design and ratings, and verbal and written communication skills to ensure adequate gathering of information. It also requires an ability to work with other team members in order to verify factors that may affect animal performance.
This unit of competency operates in workplace environments of racing administration, stables, racecourses and public areas.
Greyhound, harness and thoroughbred racing is strictly regulated throughout Australia. All stewards are appointed under the rules of racing by the relevant racing controlling body. All handicappers are officials appointed by racing licensing bodies. For this reason enrolment in this unit of competency is restricted to people currently employed as a stipendiary or cadet steward or those who have been approved by a State Principal Racing Authority to undertake this unit.
