Well done to the Illawarra Turf Club's Steven Keene, Chloe Hackett & all their staff for a great initiative 👏

This Loneliness Awareness Week 3-9 August, let's 'Make Room for Connection' trackside. 🤝 Racing hours can be isolating, but small steps—like leaving a spare seat at breakfast or grabbing a coffee together—matter. Our ambassadors are always here for a chat.

[Racing NSW @racing_nsw]

Happy Birthday to the horses that inspire us every day 💙🏇

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

We check the feed and gear daily—but when did you last check on a mate? Racing has its highs and lows.
If you or someone you know is doing it tough, our ambassadors are always here for a confidential chat.
Share this post to remind your paddock to check in.

Passion drives this industry, but working 24/7 isn't a badge of honour. This month, give your mind a breather.
Disconnect from the stables for a few hours to reconnect with life outside the track. What is your favourite way to unwind? Tell us below!

"We did it, and we did it quite well."

It's the perfect start to Erin Ellison's riding career as the 23yo apprentice guided Spice Alley to victory for her boss Rob Potter at @ThoroughbredPk. @nisbet_kayla found out more about Erin pre-race and how much she enjoyed the win. 👏

"It has been a pretty amazing year."

A year ago Siena Grima hadn't ridden a city winner. On Saturday she will arrive at Randwick keen to cap an incredible rise and clinch a Sydney apprentice title that means a lot to her. 📸 @Bradley_Photos

[Phillip O’Brien @pobracing]

NSW racing succeeds because of our hard-working community, but looking out for one another behind the scenes is what truly keeps us moving forward.
Take a moment to recognise and support your crew. #RacingMates #MentalHealth

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

From breeding sheds to winning posts, it takes a whole community to move NSW racing.
Social wellness is about leaning on your crew, sharing wins, and backing each other up.

The alarm goes off early, and racing days are long.
This Social Wellness Month, grab a cuppa with a workmate before the first trial and check in. A quick chat can completely reset a tough week. Tag a mate who makes early mornings brighter! ☕"

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

Early mornings and long days are the realities of trackwork. This Social Wellness Month, use your morning coffee break to check in on a mate before trials start. A simple chat can make all the difference to someone's week. 👉 Tag a mate who keeps you moving on the early shift! ☕

[Racing Mates @Racingmates]

In racing, we’re all used to being tired—it comes with the 3:00 AM starts. But there’s a big difference between being tired and being burnt out. If 'pushing through' isn't working anymore, you've hit the wall. Talk to a mate today. #RacingMates #BurnoutAwareness #MensHealthWeek

[Phillip O’Brien @pobracing]

@juneediesel @Thebigthreetrek @SkyRacingAU @GraemeWhiteSky Well done Jason and Kylee 👏👏
