Australia’s leading gambling and entertainment group Tabcorp has thrown its support behind the Stud and Stable Staff Awards for 2019 with its sponsorship of the Thoroughbred Care and Welfare category.

Tabcorp’s sponsorship recognises both the importance to the racing industry of those who work behind the scenes and the significance to those workers of the Stud’s and Stables around Australia.

Jo Madsen, General Manager Industry Development at Tabcorp, expressed her delight that the organisation could play a part in supporting the welfare of horses whose racing or stud careers are over.

“We support well-regulated racing industries where the highest standards of integrity and animal welfare are a priority,” Jo said.

“We’re proud to recognise the men and women working in stables and studs across Australia, and, thank them for their contribution to our world-class racing industry.”
