The Australian Turf Club (ATC) and Daktronics have shared a commitment to innovation, performance and exceptional fan experiences. That partnership - first established in 2011 - continues into the future with the completion of major LED display upgrades at two of Australia’s most iconic racing venues: Royal Randwick Racecourse and Rosehill Gardens Racecourse.
Already home to Daktronics technology, both venues have now undergone a complete LED refresh, leveraging the latest advancements in display performance, image quality and control solutions. The result is a modernised visual experience designed to engage and enhance the experience of today’s race fans while supporting ATC’s long-term vision for world-class events.
“When we first partnered with ATC in 2011, the goal was to transform how race fans experienced the action,” said Julian Miller, Sales Manager for Daktronics Australia. “Those projects were some of our earliest major installations in Australia, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see how they’ve delivered value for 15 years. Now, with this latest upgrade, we’re setting the stage for many more years of entertainment.”
Elevating the Fan Experience, Inside and Out
Royal Randwick and Rosehill Gardens Racecourses now benefit from identical 429m² main infield displays facing the grandstands. The refreshed displays deliver enhanced brightness, clarity and reliability, ensuring every race, replay and graphic is seen in stunning detail, allowing the two venues to offer a consistent, premium visual experience across ATC’s flagship racecourses.
Beyond the main displays, Daktronics also upgraded internal LED signage throughout Royal Randwick. These displays share betting odds, race data and real-time information to keep fans informed and engaged wherever they are in the venue.
“This project goes beyond a single screen,” added Miller. “From the infield displays to the internal signage, these upgrades create a connected experience that enhances the entire race day from arrival to the final race.”
Future-Ready Technology, Built on Trust
As part of the upgrade, Daktronics installed its patented ProLink™ control system, providing seamless content management and reliable operation across all displays. The system ensures that live video, graphics and key moments are delivered flawlessly throughout every event.
By extending their partnership, ATC and Daktronics reinforce a shared focus on innovation, reliability and fan engagement, demonstrating how long-term collaboration can help venues evolve with confidence.
With these latest upgrades in place, Royal Randwick and Rosehill Gardens are well-positioned to deliver unforgettable race-day experiences for years to come, powered by technology and strengthened by partnership.
