Punters urged to back racing resumption

Queensland Racing says only horses that have received an "optimal" level of immunity against equine influenza will be allowed to race next week.

About 700 horses have taken part in barrier trials at south-east Queensland turf clubs this week.
Racing is set to resume in Brisbane, Toowoomba, Warwick, Emerald, Gympie, Longreach and the Gold and Sunshine coasts next weekend.
Queensland Racing's Malcolm Tuttle is urging the public to help the industry get back on its feet by attending the meetings.
"The majority of the horses we'll see race over the weekend commencing December 1 will be horses that have been vaccinated," he said.
"They will have had two inoculations and ultimately Queensland Racing Limited will put a ruling in place that will require all horses to have that optimal level of immunity."
