Racing Australia

What Racing Australia does

Racing Australia Limited (ACN 105 994 330) is the national governing body for Australian Thoroughbred Racing, coordinating racing administration across all eight Australian states and territories (NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, ACT, NT). Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Flemington, Australia, the organization operates as Racing Australia with wholly-owned subsidiaries including the Australian Stud Book and TTSC Racehorse Syndication. Its functional mandate covers horse registration, ownership transfers, naming, identity, syndication, leasing, racing colours, traceability, welfare oversight, and the publication of Australian Rules of Racing and Codes of Practice.

The company runs a centralized platform-plus-modules technology architecture spanning a portfolio of integrated products. The Registrar of Racehorses (RoR) is the national registry managing horse ownership, transfers, leasing, syndicates, and racing colours. The Racing Materials Platform delivers state-by-state race fields, form guides, scratchings, results, track conditions, and stewards reports in real time. Adjacent systems include StableAssist (trainer/industry portal), TechForm (legacy form subscriptions, no longer accepting new subscribers), ASB/Connect/Racing Appeals/SNS login portals, Pedigree Search, and the Thoroughbred Welfare/Traceability system. Consumer-facing products include myhorseracing and Racing Jobs (employment portal), and the Equine Genetics Research Centre supports breeding-related research.

Racing Australia generates revenue through a mix of recurring industry subscriptions (ASB, RSB, Connect), one-time registration and administration fees (horse registration, ownership transfers, syndicates, leases), and sales of official publications (Australian Rules of Racing, Codes of Practice, Annual Report, Fact Book). Public-facing racing information (race fields, results, scratchings, pedigree) is provided free of charge, while paid services are restricted to industry participants and subscribers. The organization partners with all eight state and territory racing authorities (Racing NSW, Racing Victoria, Racing Queensland, Racing WA, Racing SA, Tasracing, Thoroughbred Park ACT, Thoroughbred Racing NT) as strategic co-development partners, and operates within a horizontal segmentation structure serving horse owners, licensed trainers, racing clubs, and jockeys.

Direct peers

• The Jockey Club: The British horseracing governing body and one of the largest commercial horse racing organizations in the world. Highly comparable to Racing Australia as a national authority managing race programming, integrity, and industry data in a major thoroughbred market.
• Hong Kong Jockey Club: A non-profit organization operating as the sole authorized operator of horse racing and wagering in Hong Kong. Comparable in scale, governance structure, and the combination of racing administration, breeding registry (stud book), and wagering data services.
• France Galop: The French governing body for flat and obstacle thoroughbred racing, responsible for race programming, rules, and the French Stud Book. Directly comparable to Racing Australia in providing national-level rule-setting, registration, and race materials.
• Japan Racing Association: A self-governing public entity that operates Japan's major racetracks, manages the Japanese Stud Book, and administers rules of racing. Comparable to Racing Australia in its integrated role as regulator, registry operator, and data publisher at national scale.
• British Horseracing Authority: The regulatory authority for British horseracing, overseeing rules, integrity, and licensing. Directly comparable to Racing Australia's role as a national rule-making, integrity, and registration body for thoroughbred racing.

Others

• Weatherbys: UK-based provider of racing administration, stud book, and bloodstock data services, including the General Stud Book. Comparable as a specialist service provider that combines stud book operations, racing data, and industry administration — functions that overlap with Racing Australia's Australian Stud Book and RoR activities.

Regional players

• Racing NSW: The state racing authority for New South Wales, the largest Australian thoroughbred racing market. Comparable as a state-level counterpart that delivers racing administration, integrity, and is a key upstream data source for Racing Australia's national platforms.
• Racing Victoria: The state racing authority for Victoria, Australia, and a core channel partner of Racing Australia. Comparable in that it performs racing administration, integrity, and registration at a state/regional level, with substantial own product portfolio that overlaps Racing Australia's national systems.
• New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing: The national body for thoroughbred racing in New Zealand, with cross-jurisdictional data links to Racing Australia (e.g., NZ horses racing in Australia). Comparable in mandate and similar governance structure, serving a trans-Tasman racing market.

Broad incumbents

• Tabcorp: Australia's largest wagering, media, and entertainment company, operator of TAB and Sky Racing. Adjacent rather than direct — comparable in that it sits within the Australian thoroughbred racing value chain as a wagering and media distributor, and is a major counterparty for the industry Racing Australia administers.
