Stable returns

A Stable Return and Gear Form, with all sections completed, must be lodged with Racing Queensland immediately a horse comes under the control of a trainer with the intention of preparing the horse to participate in education, official trials or racing.

In the event of a change to any particulars a fresh stable return must be lodged immediately with the Controlling Body. Changes in gear however can be notified on an Alteration to Gear Form. (Refer to the section on Gear for details of gear requirements).

If a stable return has not been lodged RQ Officials reserve the right to refuse nominations under Rule 119B which reads "Unless the stewards otherwise approve, a horse shall not be eligible to be nominated for a race unless the horse has been trained by a licensed trainer for not less than 28 days immediately prior to the date fixed for nomination."

Any trainer relinquishing the training of a horse shall notify RQ in writing, or via HarnessWeb, immediately upon the horse leaving his/her care.

Any interstate trainer visiting with horses for the purpose of racing in Queensland must provide a Stable Return detailing the particulars of the horse and where the horse will be domiciled during their Queensland visit.
