Bennett constructed a private railway line connecting the racecourse to the main line located at Clyde which opened on 17 November 1888.

From 1943 Rosehill Gardens Racecourse was managed by the Sydney Turf Club and remained so until 2011. In 2011, the Sydney Turf Club and Australian Jockey Club combined to become the Australian Turf Club. The Australian Turf Club are the current owners and operators of Rosehill Gardens Racecourse.
