History

The Sydney Turf Club (STC) was founded in 1943 and is the youngest of Australia's Principal Race Clubs. It was formed following an Act passed by the New South Wales parliament called the Sydney Turf Club Act. The Act had taken 40 years to draft and gave the club the power to hold 62 race meetings a year at the Rosehill and Canterbury tracks and empowered it to wind up other proprietary clubs that still existed in the Sydney are through a special Racing Compensation Fund.

Major Races

Some of the major races taged by the STC are Golden Slipper Stakes, Rosehill Guineas and Canterbury Guineas.
