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.

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.”
