About tasracing
tasracing was established under legislation introduced into State Parliament in November 2008.
After a business as usual approach for the first six months, on 1 July 2009 Tasracing Pty Ltd, trading as tasracing, became a state-owned company in its own right. It operates under a constitution and must abide by Corporations Law.
The company has two members, the Treasurer and the Minister for Infrastructure, who hold the shares in the company in trust for the people of Tasmania.
tasracing is funded by government appropriations worth $27 million a year over a 20-year period, indexed over the life of the deed.
Importantly, the funding arrangement provides the industry with a base to move forward, and a surety of funding it has never before enjoyed.

Tasracing's Responsibilities
tasracing, which assumed governance and administration responsibilities of racing across all three codes from TOTE Tasmania on 1 January 2009, is primarily responsible for:
- The ongoing development of the racing and breeding industries in Tasmania.
- Race club funding.
- Provision of stakes.
- Management of racing venues.
Under the new structure, which includes a separate Integrity Assurance Board, the three racing code councils have been abolished and their powers and functions transferred to tasracing.
In the new highly competitive global marketplace, tasracing is working with industry to provide a new level of business and customer focus that will ultimately see the development of new products with greater appeal to local, national and international punters.
