  About the list.
  • Want instant access to like minded racing enthusiasts? Need to know about all things racing? Then this is the place for you. I formed this list to discuss primarily Australian horse racing topics but with the rapid internationalisation of betting it has become an international discussion list with subscribers from all over the world.
  • The charter of this group is simple, discussion is open to any subject that involves the horse racing industry.
  • The Internet was created to SHARE information and resources, not as a commercial vehicle to buy your soap powder. In the spirit of the first Internet the charter of this group is to freely distribute information among its members and to freely share the collective wisdom of the group.
  • Please be considerate and responsible with your posts and particularly be careful not to say anything that could be considered libelous, insulting, rude or aggressive. There is enough aggravation in the world already!
How do I join?
  • Just go to this page and follow the instructions. There are several lists for you to choose from.
  • When you join an AusRace list you are encouraged to introduce yourself and tell us a bit more about yourself and your interest in racing.
How to post to the list:
  • Depending on which list you join you simply mail to an address and your message is sent to all the list-members.
  • Unlike the usual 'mailing lists' your are probably familar with the AusRace lists are two way. It's not a forum for vendors to send you mail but a means for you to contribute your own thoughts to a collection of fellow enthusiasts.
  • To reduce problems of unsolicited email you must be a member of the list to post to the list. This means the email address on the 'From' line on your posts must match the email address that you used to join the list.
Are there any rules?
  • There are no formal rules but we aim for best practice 'net etiquette'. That is considerate and responsible behavior between members on the list.
  • No commercial activity on the list. By all means introduce yourself and what you do if you are a commercial service provider but please no soliciting, advertising or any other commercial activities on the list. The list members themselves get very angry if they are 'spammed'.
  • Postings from the list can make suitable material for newspaper articles, radio interviews, club newsletters etc and a number of racing journalists and media people are on the list looking for such material. This practice is encouraged and helps advertise the utility of the net.
  • However, don't assume that you have the author's permission to use their material. Usual copyright laws will apply to any contributions made by authors. If you want to use anything from the AusRace list first get the author's permission and offer to send them a copy of the issue in which their article appears.
