National Thoroughbred Week

Saturday 22 November 2025 | 10:00 AM

In partnership with Magic Millions, The Industry School Equine Academy, Racing Queensland, and Racing Hearts, we will host this event at the redeveloped Gold Coast Turf Club Traintech stabling complex, which features state-of-the-art stables for a total of 300 horses.

Guests will get a hands-on look at various aspects of the industry and learn about career opportunities, and rehoming and retraining retired thoroughbreds.

Racing Hearts Therapy Inc is a registered charity offering Equine Assisted Therapies and riding for all abilities. They also retrain retired racehorses who support in offering Equine Assisted Psychology, Occupational Therapy, Therapeutic Riding and competitive riding coaching as well as stable hand programs for people of all abilities.

The Industry School delivers a unique education model where students in Years 10–12 spend five weeks each term in the classroom and five weeks in industry through an apprenticeship or traineeship. This model ensures they gain essential qualifications while applying their learning directly in the workplace. With tailored support and six campuses across South East Queensland, every student is known, encouraged, and supported to succeed.
