Membership

Australian Chinese Jockey Club Membership

It’s a social club for Asians with focus on Chinese who are living predominantly in Victoria, and open to Asians of other states in Australia.
Both of our founding members are Chinese.
We can confidently claim that amongst the Chinese in Australia, Teresa is one of the few leading authorities in horse racing. She is one of the only few Chinese who is actively involved in the industry at multiple levels for a considerable time with enviable records of successes in the industry. Teresa has intimate knowledge of how the industry works and what the Asian community wants in lifestyle. It is reasonable for us to suggest that we have what it takes to connect and engage the Asian community for the betterment of this great sport in horse racing.
Derek is a successful lawyer/entrepreneur in his own right, has an established track record in servicing Chinese business people and keeps a high profile in the Chinese media and community. He has been involved in organising hundreds of events from charity dinners to major events with 80,000 people. He sat on the board of an ASX listed company (2014) and is currently the legal advisor for more than 30 non-profit organisations. He is now serving as the Honourable President of the Lions of Sino Innovation Melbourne Inc.
We are not syndicators, we aim to create a force in the industry and be a passionate advocate of our interest. We plan to provide our members with “quality” services that our members are accustomed to and come to expect from our Club.

Through the Club’s active participation in all racing activities, not only do we lead the Asian community to the sport, we also provide our community of Asians a means to assimilate into the Australian society and a platform to “give back” to the community. The Club plans to provide some of its surplus funds to charities working for the community and for the welfare of horses, particularly after they retired. By way of an example, the Club considers contributing an extra levy $10 per month per share and part of the prize money towards the re-homing of each racehorse, ensuring our horses are well looked after.
