Doomben Turf Club

The Brisbane Amateur Turf Club, one of the top racing clubs in the southern hemisphere was formed in 1923. Its main interest then was the Albion Park racecourse (now a trotting venue).
It became known, and continues to be known, as The Creek because it was developed from a swampy marsh, which had a creek running through it. In 1997, the Club changed its name and is now know as the Brisbane Turf Club (BTC).

Gold Coast Turf Club

Racing on the Gold Coast dates back to the 1890's when an occasional public meeting was run in the old cane paddocks of Bundall, not far from the present Gold Coast Turf Club.
Regular racing at its present headquarters began on 15 May 1946 when the club was known as the Southport and District Amateur Race Club (formed on 17 March 1946). Racing in those days was on a sand track.
