The Queensland Pacing Championship was the most important event in Queensland harness racing.[1] It is usually the opening leg of the Australasian Pacers Grand Circuit.[1] The race was previously known as the Albion Park Ten Thousand between 1969 and 1974 and then as the Sir Clive Uhr Championship from 1975 to 1980.[2] In 2006 the race was postponed from Saturday to Tuesday due to rain[3] and it was not run in 2007 due to the Equine Influenza outbreak that occurred in Queensland and New South Wales.[4] In April 2016 Racing Queensland announced that the Queensland Pacing Championship would be discontinued due to financial considerations.[5]
