WELCOME From 16 September through to 7 November, Royal Randwick and Rosehill Gardens host world-class racing and entertainment across our global city with 28 Group and Blacktype races and more than $41 million in prizemoney. The $15 million TAB Everest at Royal Randwick on 17 October and the second running of the $7.5 million Iron Jack Golden Eagle at Rosehill Gardens are game changers in Australian racing. Their innovation in just a few short years has been recognised across international jurisdictions and brought new eyes through media outlets to our Club’s racing. These two races plus the traditional Spring highlights of The TAB Epsom, Heineken Metropolitan, Darley Princess Series and the 3YO Classic De Bortoli Wines Golden Rose Stakes have all helped to make the Sydney Spring a destination for not only visiting horses and connections from New Zealand but racing fans and tourists across Australia. Further, they have helped to extend the Sydney Spring program well into November at this traditional and popular time for Australian racing. Of course, 2020 has been a challenging year through the major disruption of COVID-19 and we will race in front of reduced crowds at our racecourses for the safety and health of all concerned. This makes your role in covering our racing even more important to the sport – along with all the colour and entertainment that goes with it. Whilst our numbers on course will be reduced, the Australian Turf Club has created new ways for people to be a part of the fun. Our new Spring Fashion Stakes digital competition is open Australia-wide with a male and female winner selected by an expert panel of judges across key racedays. Entrants can send their best photo or video and upload to theraces.com.au/stylestakes to be in the running to win thousands of dollars in prizes. A social highlight is the Everest Carnival Fashion Lunch on TAB Epsom Day at Royal Randwick. The event will feature a three-course menu by ATC Guest Chef Dany Karam of Black Bar & Grill, the Everest Carnival Spring Fashion Runway presented by Vogue Australia showcasing the latest Australian spring fashion trends, and a performance by Nat Bassingthwaite along with a $30,000 Cerrone necklace as a major raffle prize. Edwina McCann – Editor-In-Chief, Vogue Australia – will be the Women of Influence speaker at the Fashion Lunch. The Australian Turf Club and Racing NSW have been a world leading team over the past few months to keep Sydney racing operating through these times, something no other sport or racing jurisdiction has been able to match. We look forward over the coming months to continuing to present world class racing and, especially, reading and seeing the wonderful stories and colour these events bring to everyone involved, from the jockeys and trainers, to the owners and connections, and above all the great stars themselves in the thoroughbred horses.
