In a recent announcement Harness Racing NSW stated that by the end of June the borders around all four zones currently used for racing will be dissolved, letting trainers field their horses at any track they wish.

The measures were put in place to combat the spread of COVID-19, and the regulations made Bathurst the only track in the western region which could host racing.

But that's no longer the case. Racing is heading back to other tracks in the region over June.

Those changes have come far earlier than Dwyer and Bathurst officials had anticipated.

Dwyer said the team were getting ready to race under regionalisation measures until the traditional racing season's end (which has since been extended to December 31), and welcomed the gradual rollbacks.

"I think it's been pretty tight for the last couple of months and for everyone to get the opportunity relatively soon - because early indications were we couldn't start racing at other tracks until September 1 - is great," he said.

"It's good for us to be able to bring the other tracks back into racing. That's going to be great coming out of winter too, that we've got horses up and racing. It keeps the horse pool ticking over and let's us, hopefully, keep running our program of eight races."

From July 13 horses from outside the metropolitan zone will be able to take their horses to Menangle's Saturday night meeting.

The Menangle meetings have typically catered towards higher graded runners, who have lacked a wide choice of races during the regionalisation measures.

They'll also have the chance to race for higher prizemoney at the Sydney track - money which is at a premium while a 20 per cent cut is currently in effect.

Dwyer said the pathway towards a Sydney return is a welcome one for Bathurst's trainers.

"Those horses probably around 90 and above in rating points probably haven't had a lot of racing available for them over the last couple of months," he said.

"Trainers have kept those horses in work and they're ready to go. I'm sure they'll be glad to have the opportunity to get to Menangle soon, while racing them here for the next couple of weeks to get them ready so they're not underdone."

Racing is set to return to Dubbo, Parkes and Young across this month as part of the first phase of regionalisation rollbacks.
