Owner Privileges

As an owner in the Sport of Kings, you become part of the excitement, glitz and glamour that is associated with horse racing. You are no longer just a punter or spectator but a direct participant in this thrilling industry.

A Racing Partnership is made up of 10 or less owners and full raceday privileges apply to each owner.

A Racing Syndicate is made of more than 10 owners and limited raceday privileges apply.

Here are some of the privileges that acompany racehorse ownership through syndication or partnership:

• Your name appears in the racebook if your shareholding in a horse is 10% or greater.
  
  
• You may receive free gate entry to some racecourses.

• You will receive entry to the Members' Stand for the full day on any day that your horse is racing. For metropolitan racing, most race clubs provide 20 entry and members tickets per horse. Thus for a 10% owner, you would be entitled to 2 such tickets.
  
  
• You will receive an entry pass to the mounting enclosure for the race in which your horse is participating. For metropolitan racing, most race clubs provide 20 enclosure tickets per horse. Thus for a 10% owner, you would be entitled to 2 such tickets.
  
  
• As a registered owner, you participate fully in any decisions made about your horse and your share in any financial returns should your horse eventually be sold to a third-party (e.g. to overseas interests, at auction, as a broodmare prospect etc.).
  
  
• You will share in any of the prize money according to your percentage of investment in the horse. It should be noted, it is a standard rule that the trainer's (10%) and jockey's (5%) share of the prize money is deducted and paid out directly by the race club before the remainder of the prize money is distributed to the Syndicate Manager.

There is no greater thrill than watching your prized racehorse finish first past the post. Some believe the excitement is second to none. Ownership of such a horse brings great satisfaction and inherent bragging rights. You can get involved today in the 'Ultimate Racing Experience' through Darby Racing P/L.
