* Online guide and video for prospective owners *
RVL has launched a new online ownership guide and video to help inform and encourage prospective owners to enter the sport of thoroughbred racing.
Developed under the brand Anyone Can Play This Game, the interactive guide emphasises the fact that racehorse ownership is accessible and affordable, whilst promoting the thrill of the ride.
The guide, which can be viewed by clicking http://www.racingvictoria.net.au/owners/default.aspx here, arms prospective owners with information on how to enter the sport, what ownership options exist and what they can expect throughout their experience.
There's detailed information on training fees and costs, ownership registration and even a section titled Life After Racing' which details post-racing opportunities for thoroughbreds.
RVL General Manager Marketing and Development, Stuart Laing, said that the recruitment and retention of owners is critical to the long-term success of the racing industry.
Owners are the lifeblood of the sport and thus we place the utmost importance on recruiting and retaining owners through initiatives such as this and the Owners Gold Card, Laing said.
The advent and success of syndication and club-based ownership groups means that racehorse ownership has never been more accessible for the community.
As our brand suggests anyone can play this game and the spectacular success of horses like Starspangledbanner and Star Witness has further highlighted the benefits of syndication.
This interactive ownership guide is a wonderful resource for prospective owners to arm themselves with the necessary information, whilst the accompanying video titled Live The Dream captures the thrills and excitement that all levels of racehorse ownership deliver.
