	Malta Racing Club Council launches the Swedish U*Bet HorseRacing Championship managed by MALTCO LOTTERIES Ltd. The Malta Racing Club council is pleased to announce the launch of a new trotters championship for all Swedish horses registered with the club sponsored by Maltco's U*BET. These details were given in a press conference held at the Malta Racing Club. Dr. Matthew Brincat, the newly appointed chairman of the Malta Racing Club, said that “the championship will start next Sunday 5th October with the Heats, finishing off with 4 finals on Sunday 9th November 2008.” Mathew Brincat also noted that “Swedish imports in the last few years have increased considerably. In fact nearly 250 horses have been imported and registered in the last 3 years with the Malta Racing Club. Imports from Sweden have come a long way since the first few horses imported in the mid 1980s, which makes it possible today to organise such a competitive championship for 4 different classes namely Premier, Gold, Silver and Bronze.” Mario Cassar, Maltco’s Lotteries General Director, said that “U*BET HorseRacing has been in operation for the last year with a link to Swedish horse racing shown within its outlets in the afternoon and evenings on weekdays with the top race, being the V75, which is shown every Saturday.” Mario Cassar also added “this is the first of hopefully other sponsorship agreement between Maltco Lotteries and the Malta Racing Club in the years to come”. During the meeting Mathew Brincat also introduced the new members of the Malta Racing Club Council recently appointed by Hon.Clyde Puli, Parliamentary Secretary for Youth and Sport. He continued that “exiting times are ahead at the Malta Racing Club as various initiatives and restructuring programmes are currently being planned for the coming months.”

	New Chairman’s Commitment to Owners, Enthusiasts and Sporting Public
	Dear Horse Owners, Horse Enthusiasts and Guests, I would first and foremost welcome you to the re-start of the season after the summer recess and we augur more competitive racing both to the owners and spectators. As from the 11th September 2008 I have been asked by The Hon. Parliamentary Secretary for Sports Mr. Clyde Puli to accept The Role of Chairman of the Malta Racing Club. I have accepted knowing well enough the difficulty of the task, but nonetheless I have accepted with a full commitment to bring about improvements both to the track facilities and to the enclosure stands, which welcome our spectators. In the following months I will strive together with the other newly appointed Council Members including the Horse Owners Representatives to bring about the much-needed change that all of us surely wish to see materialized. I appeal to you all for a change in mentality and to react positively .The Track and our Sports needs to have the image and appeal to all classes of society, to attract new spectators to our sport and to host our tourists in a professional way .Our sports is an attraction in itself, however it needs the adequate infrastructure to draw back the crowds to the track. We will dedicate all our efforts to attain all this, however everyone's share and effort is essential. All of us should feel responsible for the present state of affairs and all of us need to feel a sense of duty to help in the regeneration of Horse Racing. All of you have something to contribute to the sport and I will accept any help, all of you owners and members are ready to give to the MRC Council. All of us need to participate in this initiative. I will be meeting all owners, drivers and jockeys in the near future as I bank on their support to bring about also a change in behavior and discipline that will enable us to gain respect from the sporting public. We want more sporting public to follow the sport that has remained the second most popular sport on our Islands .We want all tourists visiting our islands to come and enjoy racing and all of us should welcome them and host them to the best of our capabilities. All of us should invite and host both local and foreign spectators to enjoy the thrill of racing competition. I remain open to all your suggestions and bank on your support. All the MRC Council will be striving for the common interest of all owners to whom we will be committed for their increasing enthusiasm to the sport and to their efforts to import more and more horses to our racing track. I thank all those who have congratulated me and shown their support in this new challenge I have accepted. I also look forward to make the desired changes and improvements, to win the respect and trust of many who had started to give up hope that things will effectively change. When those estranged start returning to our sport it will mean that our efforts are giving the desired results. I appeal once again for your collaboration, as I am aware that my commitment alone is not enough to attain all our goals. I appeal for discipline on the track and on the stands. I trust it can all come true. The Malta Racing Club needs your support and all of you should feel duty bound to contribute in any way possible to regenerate our sport. I remain committed to you all and I do hope you enjoy our racing. Yours truly, Dr Matthew Brincat ll.d Chairman Malta Racing Club
