Turf Monthly

Turf Monthly was an integral part of the Australian racing tradition. For over half a century the magazine was a must read for anyone with an interest in racing. It gave insights into the horses and people who made racing such an important part of life. Now it is back on the shelf and will again bring to life the history and heritage of the turf. Relive the great moments, the champion horses, jockeys, and trainers, and those characters behind the scenes that give racing such a colourful history. Turf Monthly wants to bring the champions of the past into the modern era so they become more than just a name in a pedigree.
