Just curious!? DPI racing?
Let me say firstly that I am one of the lucky ones to have been vaccinated, I am in the western horse industry and am only a hobby rider.
While reading the Saturday paper today ( been busy), I noticed that the Pacers have started racing again with a meeting held at Albion Park last saturday. I don't have a problem with Pacers ( used to own/train them years ago) or T.B.s. What I found to be really interesting was the fact that the Event itself seemed to be sponsored by the DPI !?? how? Why? The first race was named "Racings Back" and the fourth race was called" D.P.I and F Qld 1660m "!? WHAT??? the sixth race was called "Ron Glanville 1660m" , one race was called the "Ninja Turtles 1660m" did the Qld DPI sponsor this meeting? If so don't you think the money should have gone to more vaccines etc????
I don't know what to say.
If the racing and Pacing is back on line (with possible sponsorship from Qld DPI) then does that mean we can all get back out there also and does that mean the Qld DPI will also sponsor our events to give us a kick start??!!!

Hi
I am curious about your comments and where your info came from as I know that there were trials at Albion Park on Saturday night as I had friends who went, but it is my understanding that they were only trials, the purpose of which was to give the horses a run in preparation for racing some time in the near future. This might explain the names of the races. I am fairly certain that they were not racing for prize money. I will check with my friends who are quite big in harness racing tomorrow and get back to you with definite information about the event.
