IS THERE A COST TO REGISTER HARNESS THE DREAM?

Harness the Dream team registration and all events within the competition are free.

ARE THERE A MINIMUM NUMBER OF EVENTS I MUST ATTEND TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE PRIZES?

Yes, each member of your team must attend the two (2) competition eligible events, for your team to be eligible to claim any prize, so choose your team wisely. We recommend recruiting team members who are available to attend the events to ensure you have the best chance of winning.

AM I ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER FOR HARNESS THE DREAM 2023?

Harness the Dream is all about introducing new people to the trots.
A team may only consist of two (2) persons who both do not currently own, or have owned a racehorse registered in the stable of an Australian trainer in the previous three years. Anyone who holds a current RWWA Harness License is not eligible to enter.

Our team is happy to assist with any questions relating to the ownership status of your team members.

HOW CAN MY TEAM REDEEM THE $1,000 WESTBRED VOUCHER?

So long your team members have attended the two events, you can redeem a $1,000 WestBred Voucher at the 2023 Perth APG Yearling Sale, on Sunday 5 March. Please note the voucher is only valid where at least one member of your team utilised the voucher and is named in ownership of the yearling purchased. The Voucher must be redeemed within 30 days of the 2023 Perth APG Yearling Sale.

CAN I USE MY WESTBRED VOUCHER ON ANY HORSE?

No, all prizes offered in Harness the Dream are to be used towards a WestBred Yearling sold/or passed-in at the 2023 APG Perth Yearling Sale. WestBred yearlings are identified as such in the sale catalogue. If in any doubt, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the RWWA team for clarification.

DOES OUR TEAM KEEP ANY LEFT-OVER MONEY FROM THE VOUCHER IF WE DO NOT SPEND IT ALL?

No. Your team will only receive the amount you spend on an eligible yearling.

AFTER THE WINNER’S FREE TRAINING FEES HAVE STOPPED, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

If your team is lucky enough to win the first place prize, you will have all training fees paid until 30 June 2024. Once this has completed, your team will have the option to continue payment for your horse, or sell your share at market value. RWWA will communicate to your team when the deadline is approaching to ensure your team has time to make a decision.

HOW MANY TEAM MEMBERS NEED TO BE PRESENT AT THE GRAND FINALE TO WIN?

Both members of your team must be present at the Prize Draw on Friday 27 January 2023.

WHY DOES OUR TEAM NEED TO SUBMIT IN 100 WORDS OR LESS WHY THEY SHOULD BE SELECTED TO TAKE PART IN THE COMPETITION?

This is due to the high volume of teams registering and RWWA will select eligible teams to participate upon receiving the registration. Remember the focus of our competition is to introduce new people to racehorse ownership and the better your submission, the greater chance of being approved to participate in the competition.
