Ride To Time

Ride To Time

In the Ride To Time discipline, combinations compete at racecourses in qualifiers over 1000m aiming to ride the optimum time which is set according to the combinations grade.  The skill is based on the riding and timing skills of jockey’s/trackwork riders.  Pony Club Victoria members can test their abilities at pace to a set time whilst experiencing the excitement of riding on their local racetrack.

There are two grades, Maiden and Open.

  • Maiden competitors complete an optimum time of 120 seconds over 1000m.
  • Open competitors complete an optimum time of 109 seconds over 1000m.

Zone qualifying events give riders an opportunity to work toward achieving the optimum time and representing their zone at state level.
