The Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) is an Australian horse racing organization based in Brisbane in the state of Queensland.[1] The head office of the club is located at 230 Lancaster Road in Ascot.[2]

History[]

The Brisbane Racing Club was founded on 1 July 2009 by a merger of the Queensland Turf Club and the Brisbane Turf Club (BTC).[1] The club conducted 98 race meetings in 2012.[1] The consolidation of the race clubs was the first of its kind in Australia[2] as later other metropolitan race clubs would follow their initiative.[3]

The courses operated by the BRC are Eagle Farm Racecourse and Doomben Racecourse.[1]

Major races[]

The highlight on the Brisbane Racing Clubs racing calendar is the Brisbane Racing Carnival, run across five consecutive Saturdays in May and June.[1] The highlights include the Doomben 10,000 and the AAMI Stradbroke Handicap.[1]
