Should the ATC’s proposal to close, redevelop, and sell off Rosehill materialise, it would raise a burning question about the future make-up of Sydney’s metropolitan tracks. Bren O’Brien looks at the options on the table.

With five Group 1 victories in 11 weeks, Jamie Kah has confirmed herself, once again, among the very best jockeys in Australia. This week’s Run the Numbers dissects her incredible autumn.

The departure of another of the executives who was on the hitlist of Jonathan Munz moves Racing Victoria closer to looking exactly like what the billionaire owners rep hoped it would be after February’s failed board spill, writes Bren O'Brien.

Inglis’ week of breeding sales in Sydney wrapped up with a low-key Australian Broodmare Sale, featuring drops in average, aggregate and median on last year and two lots selling for $240,000.

Eleven race meetings in eight days have been lost in New South Wales, while a feature Gosford meeting was moved, as wet weather creates havoc.

Ongoing issues with the Gold Coast turf track may have forced the movement of another feature race but Racing Queensland and the Gold Coast Turf Club remain confident over the surface’s long-term viability.

With the broodmare sales season beginning at the Chairman’s Sale, we have examined the hot state of the Australian mare market and whether the recent boom is sustainable.
