QUEENSLAND OWNERS CARD
TRIALS BRILLIANTLY!
The Queensland Owners Card is an initiative of Queensland Racehorse Owners Association (QROA) in association with Queensland Racing (QRL) and Racing Information Services Australia (RISA) that provides the owners of thoroughbreds that race in Queensland with an entirely new and exciting range of benefits.
Mr Wayne Milner - President QROA said, “Testing and trialling of the new Queensland Owners’ Card has gone off without a hitch. We are excited about the potential opportunities and benefits that the new Owners’ Card will produce for owners of racehorses in Queensland. As far as we are concerned, these types of initiatives are long overdue and are all about enhancing the racing experience for owners, who are such a vital and integral part of the thoroughbred industry.”
Queensland Owners’ Card holders will be able to enjoy the race day privileges of participating race clubs and members facilities, even if the cardholder is not racing a horse on the day.
“RISA is delighted to have been appointed by QROA and QRL to provide a range of services for the Queensland Owners Card” Myles Foreman CEO of RISA said. Myles Foreman added, “RISA provides a range of services to Owners on a daily basis via our management of the Registrar of Racehorses and through the provision of Race Field and Race Form services. Not long after RISA adopted a new strategic direction in late 2006 and the ‘New RISA’ began to evolve RISA started working with QROA and QRL on this project as it is a natural extension of services already provided by RISA. By enhancing the race day experience of Owners through the new Queensland Owners Card supports the RISA and industry objective of encouraging Ownership and retention of Ownership”.
Over 13, 000 Queensland Owners Cards and information packages will be delivered in late February ready for all Queensland racehorse owners to start enjoying the new benefits from the March 1st 2008 commencement date.
