AUSTRALIAN THOROUGHBRED The Australian Racing Board is the only authority that is empowered to make the Australian Rules of Racing which for almost a century have provided common practices, conditions and integrity standards for racing throughout Australia. The individual State and Territory racing administrations may make Local Rules for specific local conditions provided that they are not inconsistent with the principles established by the Australian Rules. Broadly described, there are nine parts to the Australian Rules of Racing: i. Interpretation ii. Stewards (providing for the appointment, functions and powers of the Stewards) iii. Registration (providing for the registration of race clubs and race meetings and the appointment, functions and powers of the Registrar of Racehorses) iv. Race meetings (providing uniform conditions for the conduct of race meetings including nominations and acceptances, stakes and forfeits, weight penalties and allowances, scratching, weighing out and weighing in, starting, running, judging and protests) v. Licensing (providing for the licensing of jockeys, apprentice jockeys, amateur riders and trainers, their movement between States and outside Australia, apprentices allowances, rider safety) vi. Syndicates (Regulating the formation, conduct and termination of racing syndicates) vii. Offences (proscribing dishonest, corrupt, fraudulent, improper or dishonourable actions or practices in connection with racing, including setting out the regime relating to prohibited substances) viii. penalties (Providing the penalties of fines, suspension, disqualification, warning off) ix. Constitutional (providing the structure, powers and functions of the Australian Racing Board) THE mAJOR BENEFITS OF THE AUSTRALIAN RULES HAVE BEEN: (i Free traffic between States. Uniform rules allow horses, trainers and jockeys to move freely between States. (ii) mutual recognition of disciplinary and protective action. The Australian Rules provide a disciplinary code that has been tested to the level of the privy Council, and allow mutual recognition of disciplinary and protective actions across the Commonwealth and internationally.
