Australian Racing Fact Book A Guide to the Racing Industry in Australia 2000 - 2001 Published by the Australian Racing Board December 2001 1 Although every effort has been made to ensure the information provided in the Australian Racing Fact Book, this publication may contain inaccuracies or typographical errors.

We would appreciate being notified of any errors that are discovered. 2 FForewordoreword The Australian Racing Board is pleased to introduce the third edition of The Australian Racing Fact Book, our annual reference guide to the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. In a few years we will celebrate the bicentenary of racing in Australia. In the almost 200 years since its beginnings, a three day meeting held in Hyde Park in 1810, Australian racing has become not only one of this nation's best loved sports but also a major component of the economy. By 2001 thoroughbred racing has grown to become an industry that generates a gross economic impact of $7.74 billion, and provides work, directly and indirectly, for 249,000 people. When you bear this in mind it is only to be expected that there is keen interest, from both within the industry and more generally, in records relating to the health and performance of the Australian thoroughbred racing industry. Our intention in producing the Fact Book is to meet this demand by assembling a range of useful facts and figures as a handy guide to any person seeking information on major aspects of the industry. There are, of course, a number of existing sources of racing material. The Fact Book is in no way intended to replace them; instead its intended role is to draw together under one cover key racing data from a range of sources. Compiling the Fact Book has involved cooperation from a number of individuals and organisations. Our appreciation is expressed to them for their willing assistance.
