The death throes of Austrian horse racing are ongoing, but clinical death has been put back again. Indeed, it even seems that better times may be coming along. The AROC web pages state that the 148th running of the Austrian Derby will take place at Ebreichsdorf in 2016, and also seven other meetings there, in which flat races will supplement the trotting races. The dates and race conditions should be announced from Austria within the next few days. ***Translated from the Czech language pages of Dostihový svět.
