Q Sprint Newsletter Dec 2010

 

 

 

 

q sprint email logo.jpg

Hi Everyone and welcome to the December E-Newsletter for the 2010/2011 season.

 

Christmas is here, so a very big MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.

 

Hopefully everybody has had a successful breeding season, with lots of healthy new foals on the ground and successful breeding ventures in progress.  If you would like to show off your 2010 foals to the rest of the Q Sprint community send me an email so that I can include them in January’s newsletter.  If you have horses for sale drop me a email also.  It won’t be long and people will be searching out their next sprint or time trial prospect especially since time trial racing is becoming very popular in Western Queensland.

 

The next newsletter will come out at the end of January.  Please feel free to forward on this email to all your contacts so that we can generate as much interest as possible and show people we are serious about sprint racing. 

 


Message from the President

 

From the President’s Desk

           

Welcome to the last newsletter for 2010, I trust it has been great year for you all, and that the foaling season is going the way you wanted.

           

There is not a lot of news to relate, although we are working with ARQ on having the Rules of Racing  finalised and written up ,we hope that they will be ready early in the new year, and they will be made available as soon as possible . I was hopeful that the Web site would have been updated and revamped, but the gremlins got to work, and  due to work commitments I have not been able to complete the exercise, so please bear with me. I have been in contact with Peta Anne Tenney who was the face of the Australian Western Horseman magazine, and she has given permission for us to reprint articles from old copies of the magazine. I personally have a few copies, and Jody will be using some sprint training articles from them in some of next years newsletters. If any members have old copies with interesting articles in them then contact Jody and she will be able to run them in the newsletter.

 

From myself and the other members of the Q.Sprint executive I wish all the members a very safe and happy festive season and a very prosperous new year.

 

From the President

Greg Kilgour

FW: Q Sprint Newsletter Nov 2010

 

 

q sprint email logo.jpg

Hi Everyone and welcome to the November E-Newsletter for the 2010/2011 season.

 

Well hasn’t the month flown.  There has been progress made with Racing Queensland as Greg has mentioned below.  He has also included some important links that everybody interested in racing should have a look at so that there is a better understanding of some of the rules of racing that are already in place.

 

The great sire  FIRST DOWN DASH recently passed away in his sleep at age 26.  He lived his life at the Vessels Stallion Farm.  This is a great loss to the sprint and barrel racing fraternity, but his legacy will live on with his wonderful progeny.

 

There will be a newsletter go out in December so if there is something you would like to add please email or phone me.  My details are below.

 


Message from the President

 

From the President’s Desk

                                             Well since the last news letter things have changed somewhat, the ARQ agreement has been reinstated and by following the draconian rules and regulations set out in that agreement we will be able to race. There will be quite a few hurdles to cross as we head towards our first race day, but if we all pull together then I am sure that we can succeed.  ARQ sent out a number of letters to race clubs throughout Queensland to ascertain if any of them would be interested in conducting sprint races. Three clubs intimated that they would be interested in conducting sprint racing, one club was in the South East Corner, one on the Darling Downs, and one in Central Queensland.  ARQ and Q Sprint together will enter into discussion with these clubs to ascertain what they have in mind and whether we can come to an agreement on conditions, eg. Dates, prize money, stewards, etc.

 

My personal opinion would be that the regional clubs would be the way to go. But others may have a different view, and of course that is what we need to know, if you have any ideas on the situation, then do not keep them to yourselves, but let us know so that we are all heading in the same direction.

 

The Arab racing down in Victoria have access to the TB tracks, and will be having a race in the middle of a main race day on a metropolitan track, early in the new year.  So we will be following up on how come their legislation allows that to happen but ours doesn’t.

 

If anyone is interested in looking at the racing rules you can click on the web addresses below for Qld, Vic, and Australian Rules of racing. 

 

Rules of Racing Victoria  -  http://www.racingvictoria.net.au/p_Rules_of_Racing.aspx

 

Rules of Racing Queensland - http://www.queenslandracing.com.au/rules_policies/rulesracing.asp

 

Rules of Racing Australia - http://www.australianracingboard.com.au/rules

 

 

Let’s hope that in another month I have more encouraging news to pass on.

 

   President

Greg Kilgour

 


Getting to Know Q Sprint Members

As most of us are spread out all over Queensland and we don’t often get the chance to meet members face to face I asked some of our committee how they become interested in sprint racing so that we can all get to know each other a little better.

 

Here’s how Melinda Leong our treasurer became hooked on sprint horses.

“I have a mare Terry Chinner bred.  A few years ago he was in the area & called in to see my horses. He offered to take the oldest gelding to train & race. So of to Vic he went, this gave me the first taste of sprint racing, I became hooked. I sent the second one Instant Cash, down to Jack Coffey to train for the challenge in 09, unfortunately he didn't get a start. But last season, 2010, he finally got 3 starts for a 1st,2nd & a 3rd. That was exciting, now I'm really hooked.  As dollars are always hard to find. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the generosity of both Terry & Jack for giving me the opportunity to participate.”

FW: Q Sprint Newsletter Oct 2010

 

 

q sprint email logo.jpg

Hi Everyone and welcome to the first E-Newsletter for the 2010/2011 season.

 

The AGM was held on Saturday 9th October.  At this meeting we saw the stepping down of Jodie Vanstone, retiring president and Esmay Woods, retiring secretary and saw Greg Kilgour  take on the Presidents’ position, Cathy Messenger, the secretaries position, Melinda Leong the treasurer and Jody Murray and Rex Zendher, committee member positions.  Although attendance was disappointing the outcomes where very fruitful.

 

It is our intention to send out a monthly e-newsletter.  With your help we can make this a worthwhile bit of reading.   So if you have any ideas or have something relevant you would like to sell please get in touch with the newsletter coordinator.  Please feel free to forward this newsletter on to other sprint racing enthusiasts that we haven’t heard from yet. 

 


Message from the President

 

 

From the president's desk.

 

Welcome to all those interested in sprint racing, both financial and non financial members.  We hope that you will send this news letter on to others that we don’t know yet, in the hope that they may become Q Sprint members, and help the sprint racing cause. I believe that Q Sprint is the ideal vehicle to carry sprint racing on to a very bright future, the vehicle has suffered from a few mechanical problems over the last twelve months, but a new battery and some air in the tyres and we are back on the road again. 

 

Our thanks must go to Jodie Vanstone for her time as president and I wish her all the best in her future endeavours. Esmay Woods has been a tower of strength over the last twelve months in the position of secretary and she will be sorely missed in that position. Many thanks Esmay for all your efforts and we thank you in advance for all the help you will give our new secretary Cathy Messenger. Cathy is not new to sprint racing but is new to being a secretary, so bear with her as she learns the ropes.  Many thanks to Melinda Leong for taking on the role of treasurer, as it is important to have someone who knows what they are doing in this position.

 

This news letter is coming to you through the efforts of Jody Murray , this is just a quick one to let you know we are back on the road. Many thanks Jody for your time and effort. Jody is the newsletter coordinator, so if you have any news or views or horses to sell then get in touch with Jody.

 

Our other committee member is Rex Zendher, who has been around sprint racing for a long time, and I am sure he will be a big asset as we travel down the road.

 

The biggest concern we have with sprint racing at the moment, is the fact that Alternate Racing Qld ,the body that would be controlling sprint racing in Qld was disbanded due to lack of activity. But fortunately ARQ is up and running again and has a submission in to Qld Racing to have the ARQ racing rules reinstated.  This decision should come about in the first week of November, so until then we can only wait and hope that the ruling is reinstated. Most of you know of Ian Rosenow, he is president of ARQ ,he is very hopeful about the outcome, which is most encouraging. There is not a lot of planning that can be done, until the outcome of the ruling

is known. We will send out an email to everyone as soon as the decision is known.

 

Remember this is your club, so if you have any ideas, views or opinions, that will be helpful in the running of the organisation ,then do not hesitate to put them forward so that your voice may be heard.

 

Bye for now

Greg Kilgour
