THE MAGIC OF OWNERSHIP
The feelings you experience when watching your horse step out on the track on race day are truly unique. The anticipation and exhilaration is a potent combination, one that is guaranteed to leave you with butterflies in your stomach and your fingers tightly crossed!
When the mobile pulls away or the strands fly back, the emotion moves up a gear and by the time your horse approaches the home turn and enters the straight, your heart will be pounding as loudly as the horses’ hooves thundering towards the finish line.
No other sport offers such active participation or allows you to get as close to the action. From being involved in the initial selection process of your horse and watching them grow and develop throughout the training process, to giving them the final pat before they leave the birdcage, then urging them on with every ounce of your body as they approach the winning post – the bond you develop with your horse is something special.
Harness racing is truly unique in that the standardbred racehorse belongs to all of us and, anyone who wishes to, can become involved in the racing industry.
Whether it’s at the historic Gloucester Park circuit, or at one of our 12 country harness racetracks in WA, everyday Australians from school teachers, nurses, tradies and sportspeople are entering the inner sanctums of the trots to experience the buzz of the occasion, excitement of the competition and roar of the crowd; in hope to find that next champion.
Now is the time for your team to experience the magic of ownership at the trots!
