Racehorse Ownership Club started back in 2021 with Stephen being the owner of all the horses.

Racehorse Ownership Club provides regular updates on your horses, race day badge opportunities every time your horse is declared and stable visits. The horses are based all over England which opens up more chances for people to get involved.

You will get an exclusive insight into the work that goes on in the preparation for race day of the club’s horses. It’s a behind the scenes experience only racehorse owners are ever a part of but will be available to members of our club.

Come and see your horses on stable visits

Regular stable visits will be arranged for club members when you can get up close and personal with your club horses and meet the other stable stars. The Wainwrights will be on hand to show you round and give you all the latest gossip. John likes to create a relaxed atmosphere in his yard and the horses find Granary House a yard where they are encouraged to prepare for their races without stress. Members will experience an environment conducive to getting the best performance from the horses on the racecourse.

Owners Badge Ballot System

Whenever one of your club horses runs you will be able to enter your name into a ballot for a complimentary owner’s badge. The badge will give you exclusive access to the Owners and Trainers bar and facilities where complimentary refreshments are available and at most courses a meal is also provided. Usually, courses will offer the chance for owners to have an extra badge at a discounted price and so at a small cost you can bring along your ‘significant other’ if you wish.

The Race Day Experience

You will be able to join John and your jockey in the parade ring before the race and be part of the chat about racing strategy and plans. You will then be able to go to the Owners only viewing area for the best view of the race and afterwards join John and the jockey for the debrief, hopefully in the winner’s enclosure.

Winning connections (that’s you) will have their photographs taken, by the on-course photographer, with horse and jockey and you will receive a copy of this photograph compliments of the club. And if your horse is the winner, off you go for complimentary Champagne.

All members will receive a full report on the race, the horse’s performance and how s/he has come out of the race. Future running plans will be passed on to you once a full analysis of options has been considered.

Membership as a gift

If you let us know on the form we will send you who you would like to gift membership to we will do the rest. You could have the membership start up email sent to you to forward, or we could contact the lucky recipient direct and tell them who the gift is from. It’s up to you.
