Oncourse Bookmakers and Facilities

February 13, 2020

The Australian Turf Club prides itself on having some of the best on course wagering facilities of any track around the world. A great wagering experience for all patrons attending the tracks is ensured by the variety of options including face-to-face betting outlets, the strongest betting ring in Australia and digital service capabilities.

Randwick – By the Numbers;

• Up to 280 TAB wagering outlets on carnival days
• Up to 60 Bookmaker outlets
• Over 600 TVs with racing and wagering vision and information
• TAB Concierges to assist with bet placing

Rosehill – By the Numbers;

• Up to 190 TAB wagering outlets on carnival days
• Up to 50 Bookmaker outlets

While the meetings run at Canterbury and Warwick Farm are generally quieter than those at Randwick and Rosehill our service levels are still top-class. You are ever more than 20 metres away from a wagering facility at our venues.  Along with our major wagering partner TAB, we often run wagering promotions on course in various locations and through their digital channels so look out for tipping competitions, punters podiums and free bet giveaways.

No race day is complete without taking on the bookies!  Licensed on race courses since the late 1880s, bookmakers form an integral part of the race day experience, pitting their skills against both the pros and amateurs alike. Placing a bet is as simple as stating the race you want to bet in, the number of the horse and the amount you want to bet – ie, Sydney Race 4, horse 10, $20 to win. The bookie or their bagman will then hand over a ticket for you to either hold aloft in victory or rip into shreds in defeat at the end of the race.

Below is the list of all bookmakers operating on-course and their locations at each venue;
