[edit] History

The Australian Jockey Club (AJC) was founded in January 1842.

It is considered the senior racing club in Australia and was responsible for founding the Australian Stud Book, which it still oversees today.

The club also, in conjunction with the Victoria Racing Club, formulated the Rules of Racing that are followed by all Australian race clubs.

Two courses are operated by the club being Randwick and Warwick Farm.

[edit] Major Races

Some of the major races staged today by the AJC include the Sydney Cup, AJC Derby, Epsom Handicap, Doncaster Handicap, The Galaxy, All Aged Stakes and the Chipping Norton Stakes.
