HOW TO GET INVOLVED
When you become an owner of a pacer, the passion doesn’t end at the finish line.
Ownerships comes in many forms. Start your journey today, it’ll well and truly pay off.
Sole Owner
As a Sole Owner you’ll enjoy the glory and the entire prize money if your horse wins. Beyond race day, you’ll have the honour of naming your proud pacer and choosing the silks.
You’ll also be responsible for covering the costs of keeping and training a horse from training fees to transport to veterinary fees.
Part Owner
Part-owners enjoy similar privileges as a sole owner, with the only difference being costs and prize money are shared.
It’s a journey worth sharing with a friend, a family member or another fan of the trots.
Syndication member
Buying a share in a Syndicate horse can be a cost effective way to buy a slice of the action. With shares starting from as little as $10 a week, your racing dream is possible!
Not only that, it can be a great way to get into the social side and talk up the trots with like-minded people. Syndicates are made up of 11 to 20 members with a maximum of 20 shares in total.
Lease-owner
Leasing a horse can reduce your buy in costs and can be a cost effective way to get started. A lease will run over a set time period and generally the leasing owners will receive a cut of the prize money.
Queensland also boasts Australia's best state-bred incentive scheme - QBRED. The QBRED scheme is aimed at providing owners and breeders with enduring benefits and the confidence to breed QBRED.
A key component of the QBRED for life scheme is enabling horses to win their bonuses at any age meaning less pressure to breed a horse early in the season, less pressure on horses having to win their bonus by the end of a season and ensuring horses that mature later in life maintain the opportunity to win these lucrative bonuses for their connections.
