Standardbred owner perks
From the exclusive Winners Bar at Gloucester Park, to visiting your horse at the stables and in the Birdcage on race day – 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
Racing WA in conjunction with all WA harness racing Clubs, provide Owners Season Passes which allow you to enjoy free entry into any of WA’s 12 harness racecourses (subject to the Club’s conditions of entry).
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.
