2011 Race Season Abandoned

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.
