From
the
Coordinator's
Desk...
As
you know I am Rae Bonatti, the NE Coordinator for the QCC Racing
Commission. When I took over the NE's, we had just undergone a
structure change for the Equine racers that has made their racing much
smoother and more manageable for the Commission, and now is the time for
that to be done for the NE Racers.
We
are suspending the NE races until the end of the year, to resume in
February of 2006 under the new format and rules. I am sure that
many of you with NE's in your stable have many questions and I hope that
this will cover most if not all.
Your
latest vet checks will still be valid for February, and you will not
have to recheck them until *after* that racing season.
No
animals that are currently registered will be removed or retired, except
when requested by the stable owner.
No
new NE's may be registered until the changes are in place.
I
will be posting the guidelines to both the website and the QCC Message
Boards, once they are finished. Among the topics to be covered
in the new guidelines will be acceptable types of racers, limits on
registration and race entries and the new ranking system.
If
you have any questions, please contact me.
