Racing Queensland and the Queensland Racing Integrity Commission have released revised procedures for the postponement and abandonment of thoroughbred race meetings.
Following recent weather impacts to race meetings across the state, the controlling bodies collectively determined that a revised, transparent, and current set of procedures was to be implemented.
The procedure outlines the methods undertaken by the controlling bodies in identifying, consulting and ultimately, determining the suitability of a race meeting to proceed.
Key industry stakeholders were extensively consulted in the development of the new procedures, including the Australian Trainers Association, the Queensland Jockeys Association, the Queensland Thoroughbred Owners Association, and the Country Racing Advisory Panel.
