The Brisbane Racing Club (BRC) is the major sponsor of the Queensland Horse Racing Museum which is powered by the Thoroughbred Racing History Association (TRHA). The TRHA is a not-for-profit organisation established to preserve the history of the thoroughbred industry for the general public and industry participants. Further information about the TRHA can be found here.
It is staffed by enthusiastic volunteers who have a background in racing and are keen to exchange the knowledge stored in the Research Centre & Archive housed on Doomben racecourse to the public on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 10am and 1pm or by appointment outside these hours.
Our displays at the Racing Museum in the heritage-listed Old Tote building at Eagle Farm racecourse are open to the general public by prior appointment only.
The TRHA welcomes the donation of objects that will complement and fulfil our current collections. Each donation request is thoughtfully considered by our committee to determine if the gift is in line with the specific criteria for the acquisition and acceptance of donations, as outlined in the TRHA Collections Policy; any object accepted into the TRHA’s collection should be consistent with our mission, be relevant, and be properly cared for. If you are interested in making the gift of an object to the TRHA, please ring us on (07) 3630 2245 or email us at heritage@brc.com.au for further advice.
UPCOMING Event (NATIONAL TRUST HERITAGE FESTIVAL) - TUESDAY 12 MAY 2026
TO OUR MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS (GENERAL PUBLIC INCLUDED):
The Thoroughbred Racing History Association is again taking part in the Australian Heritage Festival. This year we will hold our function in the Vo Rogue Room at Doomben racecourse on the evening of Tuesday, May 12.
The venue is appropriate as the presentation will be about the remarkable racehorse Vo Rogue and will feature interviews including with his jockey Cyril Small and his trainer Vic Rail’s partner Debbie Osborne.
Your invitation to attend the evening is above.
We hope to see you there.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Howard
