Australian Thoroughbred Sales Code Of Conduct

Revised 1st December 2011

New Thoroughbred Code of Conduct

20 July 2011

A new Australian Sales Thoroughbred Code of Conduct has been released today by the industry’s 8 major participants in order to bring greater transparency and accountability to agents acting on behalf of buyers.

In a first, the code has been signed by The Australian Racing Board, Thoroughbred Breeders Australia, Magic Millions, William Inglis and Son Ltd., Federation of Bloodstock Agents Australia, Australian Trainers Association, NSW Trainers Association and Equine Veterinarians Australia. The code is the strongest in the world alongside the United States’ code and introduces a Complaints Advisory Panel to which an aggrieved party can seek a resolution without having to resort to expensive and time consuming legal action... more

The NEW Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) Commencing January 2012

Personal Property Securities (PPS) reform will soon introduce a national commercial law that will affect secured financing involving personal property. It will bring the different Commonwealth, State and Territory laws and registers regarding personal property security interests under one national system and introduce a single national online Personal Property Securities Register. The Attorney General, Robert McClelland, will make an announcement later this year confirming the commencement date for early 2012.

For more information please visit the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) website at http://www.ppsr.gov.au

Report by CEO Peter McGauran (August 2010)

TBA is active in representing the industry on several issues of vital importance to breeders. This involves sustained engagement with Federal and State Government Ministers and Officials on issues such as AQIS fees and quarantine facilities, new breeding investment tax laws, the encroachment of coal mines in the Hunter Valley and EI vaccination.

Breeders’ Contribution to Racehorse Ownership study
TBA has now released the first-ever comprehensive study into the level of breeders’ ownership of racehorses. The findings reveal a level of racehorse ownership far in excess of previous estimates with 84% of breeders owning wholly or in partnership 63% of racehorses in work. This translates into approximately $250m in training fees paid by breeders each year. These are remarkable figures and will end once and for all the notion that breeders take more from racing than they give. Governments... more

TBA Associate Membership Offer

The TBA is offering free associate membership to anyone with an involvement in the breeding of Thoroughbreds.

Members will receive regular email updates from the TBA office together with a copy of the Annual Report. In the event of an emergency situation, such as the El outbreak of 2007, breeders can be confident of receiving swift and informative updates from TBA.

We believe it is necessary to increase TBA membership to strengthen our capacity to more effectively represent breeders on the many on and off farm issues affecting their future. We want to hand TBA over to breeders rather than leave it to the province of a minority grouping; large scale participation will improve the health of the organization and through it the health of the industry... more

Breeders Contribute $250m Annually to Australian Racing Industry (March 2010)

A report released today by Thoroughbred Breeders Australia (TBA) reveals that breeders in this country have committed in excess of $500million in the past two years in training fees for racehorses. This figure does not include the purchase price of racehorses and the cost of breaking them in, nor the added expense of vets, farriers and other costs incurred in the upkeep of racehorses.

The report establishes that breeders wholly or partly own 63% of racehorses in training. When you add together all the percentages of racehorses owned by breeders, it equates to owning the equivalent of 45% of all racehorses in Australia.

“The study demonstrates conclusively that breeders... more

Report by CEO Peter McGauran (April 2010)

TBA has been active in representing breeders on several issues of vital importance to breeders. This has involved extensive engagement with Federal and State Government Ministers and officials on issues including AQIS fees and quarantine facilities, new breeding investment tax laws, the encroachment of coal mines on prime Hunter Valley breeding country and EI vaccination.

Priority issues include:

Quarantine Issues
TBA is in close dialogue with the Federal Government on future developments surrounding the two quarantine stations at Eastern Creek (NSW) and Werribee (Vic). Spotswood has been closed on the basis of affordability to the industry for a six month trial period whilst the increased numbers of shipments through Eastern Creek are assessed. Racing Victoria’s (RVL) proposal to build a new quarantine facility at Werribee racecourse is well underway, and when completed will provide facilities to properly... more
