10 RACING AUSTRALIA ANNUAL REPORT 2024 • International Stud Book Thoroughbred Breeding Welfare Standards Working Group • IHSC Gene Doping Expert Committee Participation in these organisations and Committees is imperative to ensure Australian Thoroughbred Racing stays abreast of improvements and developments in all aspects of racing and breeding as well as providing contributions and a voice as one of the largest racing jurisdictions in the world. CONCLUSION Whilst the 2023/24 year has continued to be challenging, Racing Australia staff have worked tirelessly to ensure the necessary services continue to be provided to support the racing industry. The work that has been carried out and continues laying the foundations for significant changes in future service delivery that will deliver benefits to the racing and breeding industry. The next 12 months will see the continuation of work on the new SNS design, specifically the Australian Stud Book and Register of Racehorses, that utilises a single view of the horse from registration through to retirement to: • better support traceability; • reduce paper forms and move towards full digital transacting; • reduce the complexity of systems; • improve reliability and performance; I take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank the Directors and staff of Racing Australia, Principal Racing Authority CEO’s and staff, Industry participants and all involved in racing for their support and engagement. Thoroughbred racing is a unique and resilient industry full of dedicated, passionate and committed individuals, I look forward, as does all of Racing Australia, to continue to support the industries operation and growth.
