Qld attempts to raise Industry profile

Today's Breeding & Racing's Daily News carried the following story:

Queensland Racehorse Owners Association president Wayne Milner announced a campaign to "lift the profile of Queensland race horse owners & encourage more people into the industry". Milner said the QROA has agreed to add $500 to the winner's cheque on select Queensland country races: "We are looking at establishing bonus races at Cairns, Mackay, Rockhampton, Beaudesert, Dalby, Gatton & Nanango plus other country tracks. The bonus will be on 1 race at each race club & would be paid if the winning owners of the bonus race were members of the Association. Our representatives will attend the race meeting when the bonus race is on; new members can join on the day to be eligible & we will have a hospitality tent available to introduce people to the pleasures & excitement of owning a race horse." The 1st bonus race will be run at Beaudesert on June 11 in conjunction with the club's Cup Day; it will be the 1400m maiden.
