Sprint Trainer Robyn Kelly had a day to remember at the Birchip Quarter Horse Cup meeting on 26th march 2011, Of the 4 race program Robyn trained the card, a feat not seen before in the 10 yrs of the VRQHA racing. Her winners for the day started with  Hey Babe in race 1, ridden by the brilliant sprint jockey Mike Preston, who also had a day out riding 3 of the 4 winners.
race 2 was won by Cecil Henry, followed by Hot Diggity in race 3 and the Big race of the day, the Birchip Cup was won by Cecil Henry and ridden by Mike Preston, Cecil Henry was also successful last year giving him back to back wins. Mike Preston has now ridden the winner of the last 3 runnings of the Birchip Cup.
The Birchip community provided wonderful facilities for the large crowd who attended and this event is quickly becoming a ‘must go to’ yearly event. The weather was wonderful and provided a great atmosphere for some terrific racing.

The VRQHA racing season scheduled to commence 12th February has unfortunately had to be abandoned. The past few months have been fairly tough on many of our country trainers who would normally participate, and some are still experiencing or attempting to recover from the recent floods, which has affected their ability to effectively get their horse ready for the season.

All trainers, jockeys, strappers and members who have paid their memberships for the coming season will be fully reimbursed.

Hopefully racing can recommence at a later date yet to be determined.
