Standardbred owner perks
From the exclusive Winners Bar at Gloucester Park, to visiting your horse at the stables and in the Birdcage on race night, owning a pacer offers a unique experience that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
Plus, of course, there’s prizemoney on top! Not to mention, if you race a Westbred or Double Westbred horse, you’re up for even more!
Owners Pass
Prize money and Bonuses
Prizemoney in WA harness racing provides a solid return on investment for standardbred owners;
Prizemoney for 1st to 5th place is split between the Owner, Trainer and Driver as follows;
- Owner = 87.5%
- Trainer = 7.5%
- Driver = 5%
Unplaced Subsidy Support
To assist Owners with the expense of preparing a horse for the trots, Racing WA pays owners an 'Unplaced Subsidy' for horses who run sixth to last in every race.
Owners receive a $150 payment every time your horse is unplaced in a non-metropolitan race, and $185 for a metropolitan race.
