News Summary:

The Australian Turf Club (ATC) and the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) recently submitted bids on September 2, 2026, to host an international blockbuster featuring horses such as Ka Ying Rising and Autumn Glow, a concept gaining momentum after their trainers and owners publicly entertained the prospect of a clash. This follows the September 1 agreement where Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) extended its partnership with the ATC for an additional three years, continuing their relationship through to the end of 2028 and bringing the total partnership duration to six years. Previously, on August 20, the ATC constructed a new infield precinct at Royal Randwick to expand crowd capacity for the Sydney Everest Carnival, driven by record ticket sales and a projected sell-out for TAB Everest Day. Earlier, on August 3, the ATC Foundation opened its tenth round of grant applications, inviting registered charities linked to the NSW Thoroughbred racing industry and community organizations to apply for funding from the charitable arm established in 2018.
