RACEDAY BENEFITS

​There is nothing better then seeing your horse race at one of Queensland’s finest racetracks across the State.

 

Each racecourse will have the own set of “owner benefits,” particularly on days that you have a horse racing at their racecourse.

​

We are currently working with Race Clubs across the state on new and exciting initiatives to give our members the best race day experiences across the 12 months of the year.

We also want to be able to give our members the ability to bring their friends to see just what the thrill of racehorse ownership can bring.
