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.

Scoping is a veterinary procedure that needs to be done on all racehorses following purchase. Scoping involves the insertion of a flexible endoscope with a camera attached, through one nostril of the horse to the back of its throat. This technique allows a visual examination of the structure and function of the back of the throat while the horse is breathing and swallowing.
