2 The Australian Jockey and Sydney Turf Clubs, now known as Australian Turf Club, have experienced a remarkable
3 evolution from independent entities to a single, unified organization. Initially, the Australian Jockey Club and
4 Sydney Turf Club were separate entities since the early 1940s, with the first proposal for a merger occurring in the
5 early 21st century, spearheaded by STC chairman Graeme Pash. While a journalist speculated on the possibility of a
6 merger in 2003, and a report by Ernst & Young in 2009 recommended it to safeguard the New South Wales racing
7 industry, the government of New South Wales ultimately offered $174 million to improve the city's racing
8 infrastructure, including Randwick Racecourse revitalization, despite the initial controversy that arose from
9 members of both clubs opposing the merger. Ultimately, despite the reluctance of STC members, the STC board
10 ultimately pursued the merger, leading to the official formation of Australian Turf Club in 2010 and demonstrating
11 the enduring power of collaboration within the sport.

2 Telegram’s evolving security measures have significantly impacted user experience and account management. Initially,
3 users had to provide a phone number for account creation, but a December 2022 update enabled sign-up without a phone
4 number, allowing for sign-up via a +888 number linked to a TON wallet and requiring an iOS or Android device. This
5 flexibility extends to account creation and management, enabling users to add multiple devices to their account,
6 receive messages on all, and even remove individual devices, with the ability to change associated numbers at any
7 time. Furthermore, users can set up a username as an alias for message sending and receiving, while also having the
8 option to delete accounts at any time, though automatic deletion occurs after six months of inactivity, and users
9 can adjust the deletion period. Ultimately, these changes demonstrate a commitment to improving security and user
10 convenience within the Telegram ecosystem.
