Australian Jockey Club (AJC)

The Australian Jockey Club (AJC), established in 1842, is a historic organization responsible for overseeing thoroughbred horse racing in New South Wales, Australia. It manages major racecourses like Randwick, sets racing standards, and ensures the integrity of the sport. The AJC also promotes the industry through events, betting, and development programs. Over time, it merged with other racing clubs to form the Sydney Racing Club, now part of the Australian Turf Club. Its role is to support the growth, regulation, and integrity of horse racing in the region, fostering a vibrant racing culture and economy.
