Victoria Racing Club, also known as VRC, is a privately owned entity headquartered in Australia. Founded in 1864, it employs approximately 270 individuals and reported $142.9M in revenue as of 2024. The club functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. Primarily focused on riding and animal sports, it operates as one of Australia's oldest horse racing clubs, responsible for organizing the Melbourne Cup, which is often referred to as "the race that stops a nation." With over 30,000 members, the Victoria Racing Club operates as the largest member-based racing club globally, hosting 25 race meetings per year.
On March 27, 2026, Satono Glow secured a victory in the Group 3 Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes (1200m) at Flemington, a race previously expected to be a duel between heavily backed favourite Gin Twist ($2.10) and Jadzia ($3.10), both with prior experience on the Flemington straight. The same day, trainer Glen Thompson assumed responsibility for Whiskey on the Hill, a horse previously under the care of the late Mike Moroney, who famously won the 2000 Lexus Melbourne Cup with Brew. Further highlighting pathways to major events, the Roy Higgins Quality race was noted as offering a 'golden ticket' into the Lexus Melbourne Cup, honoring Roy Higgins, who established a legendary racing career in Melbourne after an apprenticeship in Deniliquin, NSW. The racing community also reflected on trainer Bart Cummings, who earned the moniker "the Cups King" in the late 1960s following his three Melbourne Cup wins, where he twice trained both the winner and runner-up, alongside numerous other Cup victories.
