ERA Trainers Website User Guide The Emirates Racing Authority launched the On-line Entry and Declaration site to facilitate the process of Entering and Declaring whilst remembering of gear and jockeys. Benefits to trainers include assisting with the eligibility of horses to run and providing detailed information on horses in training. http://trainers.emiratesracing.com/ High speed internet connection access is recommended for this site. DATE AND TIME Date and time are set to the time on the ERA server. When the advised time has lapsed any work page which is currently open, Entries or Declarations on that work page will be accepted once submitted, however further activities are not possible.
