The Australian Turf Club, a privately owned company founded in 2011, is a major horse racing organizer in Australia. Headquartered in Australia and employing approximately 400 people, the club resulted from the merger of the Australian Jockey Club and the Sydney Turf Club. Its primary activity is the management and organization of horse racing events, including prominent carnivals like the Autumn Racing Carnival, at leading Sydney racecourses. In 2023, the club reported revenues of approximately $250 million.
On June 11, 2025, the Australian Turf Club offered a winter dining experience. The club's chairman, Peter McGauran, attempted to persuade members to sell Rosehill Gardens racecourse, but members voted against the proposal at an extraordinary general meeting in Randwick during an unspecified week. Subsequently, on an unspecified date, the club voted against a $5 billion buyout of Rosehill racecourse that would have facilitated the construction of 25,000 new homes and a Metro station. This decision followed the NSW government's approval of 1500 new apartments in a Sydney fish market redevelopment. The NSW premier, Chris Minns, announced a "Plan B" for housing after the Rosehill racecourse sale was rejected. Kellie Howard, formerly of Adelaide Oval, joined the Australian Turf Club in a sales role at an unspecified date before moving to FCM Meetings & Events.
