Tabcorp’s Chief Customer Officer Jenni Barnett said:

“This is a new era for us in Queensland,’’ she said.

Ms Barnett said TAB deliberately sought to partner with some of the region’s most innovative clubs.

“This is an opportunity for us to help grow Queensland’s richest race day in Magic Millions, innovate night racing and partner with the clubs as they host more Saturday metropolitan race meetings.

“We’re rapidly transforming TAB with a new TAB App, new products on the way and a revamped retail experience. We’re customer obsessed in everything we do and we’re really excited about the growth opportunities moving forward.”

Gold Coast Turf Club Chairman Brett Cook said:

"Once again the collaboration between each of the four Clubs has enabled the best outcomes for all involved and can only enhance programming, night racing strategies and media opportunities in the future.”

Sunshine Coast Turf Club Chairman Peter Boyce said:

“We are excited about the new opportunities and racing innovation that this significant long-term partnership will deliver. We look forward to working with TAB and the other Clubs to further strengthen and celebrate racing in Queensland.”

Ipswich Turf Club Chairman Wayne Patch said:

“Renewing the long-standing Ipswich Turf Club partnership with TAB and the alignment with the SEQ provincial club network showcases the value of these relationships. Our club is thrilled with the future opportunities this presents for all involved to strengthen Queensland racing.”

Toowoomba Turf Club Chairman Jason Ward said:

“The Toowoomba Turf Club is delighted to continue its relationship with TAB. We are also excited to continue a close relationship with the other SEQ clubs and TAB.”

Ms Barnett said TAB had completed its partnership strategy for southeast Queensland.

“Our focus has been to partner with progressive growth clubs and we’re thrilled to have achieved that goal and now look forward to implementing those plans with each club.”
