Free admission benefit extended into 2020

We are delighted to announce that the Racecourse Badge Scheme for Owners will provide free access to 1,378 participating fixtures during 2020 to members who qualify for the scheme. This represents 93% of the 1,481-strong fixture list with 36 courses offering all their fixtures.

The number of racecourses offering two badges to participating fixtures has also increased to 19, with Carlisle, Cartmel and Huntingdon joining Ascot, Bangor, Brighton, Cheltenham, Epsom Downs, Hamilton, Kempton Park, Musselburgh, Newbury, Newmarket, Newton Abbot, Pontefract, Ripon, Sandown Park, Taunton and Warwick. 

Four courses will offer two badges to some of their participating fixtures and they are Exeter, Haydock, Hexham and Perth.

To qualify for the scheme, members must be registered owners with 50% or more of a horse in full training or be one of a maximum of two syndicate or club managers.

Qualifying members can expect to receive a booklet of participating fixtures during late December.

Members who have qualified for the scheme this year but do not have 50% ownership of a horse in training can expect to receive a communication with details of the ROA’s other free admission schemes.  These schemes enable admission to participating fixtures at Jockey Club Racecourses’ 15 venues, the 16 ARC courses and Newbury Racecourse.

We are very grateful for the support of the RCA and racecourses in delivering this benefit to owners which is highly valued by members.
