Your Owners' Gold Card provides a number of exciting raceday privileges, including admission and members’ passes on the day your horse runs, as well as complimentary racebooks and access to on course owners’ facilities with race replay facilities. Here you can sit back and enjoy a win, or console your fellow owners following a hard run, with complimentary beverages available.
