The courses operated by the BRC are Eagle Farm Racecourse and Doomben Racecourse. [2]

Major races

The highlight on the Brisbane Racing Clubs racing calendar is the Brisbane Racing Carnival, run across five consecutive Saturdays in May and June. [2] The highlights include the Doomben 10,000 and the AAMI Stradbroke Handicap. [2]
