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).[2] The club conducted 98 race meetings in 2012.[2] The consolidation of the race clubs was the first of its kind in Australia[3] as later other metropolitan race clubs would follow their initiative.[4]
