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]
