Gold Circle Press Release: Barrier Trial Reports
Basic information on the trials, such as time recorded and lengths behind the ‘winner’ of the trials is carried in the Gold Circle racecard, Computaform and other relevant formguides.
However, in an effort to make the Barrier Trials punter friendly and to provide more detailed information, Gold Circle has appointed a team of seasoned ‘race readers’ to give their opinion on each trial. They will comment on and assess the performances of individual participants as a guide to punters.

Each Barrier Trial will be archived and comments can be accessed on the Gold Circle website
