Racing NSW Stewards today have conducted the barrier draw for the 2018 The TAB Everest in preparation for this evening’s barrier draw event.

Racing NSW has made the decision to conduct the draw prior to the event to circumvent any security risks that may exist.

The results of the barrier draw have been held in confidence by Racing NSW Stewards to ensure they are not publicly known until this evening.

To avoid any perceived integrity risk, Racing NSW has determined that all betting on the 2018 The TAB Everest be suspended commencing at 12pm today (9 October 2018), until the final barriers have been publicly displayed this evening.

Racing NSW Stewards shall advise all wagering operators this evening when they may recommence betting on the event.
