Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many members are in the Club?
There are 500 members places available in the Club.
Q: How many horses are there in the Club?
There will be at least 2 horses in the Club. Each horse is leased to the Club, therefore if they are sold then members are not entitled to any money resulting from the sale of the Club horse.
Q. Are there any hidden costs on top of the yearly membership fee?
No. Other than the Membership fee, there are no other compulsory costs involved in your membership. We do offer a number of optional services that are additional to Club membership, some of which do incur a small charge, and tickets to organised Club hospitality events are advertised at discounted prices for Members to book. However, you are under absolutely no obligation to use any of these optional services or to attend Club hospitality events.
Q: Do members receive prize money?
Members are not entitled to any prize money. Any prize money won, will remain in the Racing Club to support covering the costs of race entries, jockey bookings, horses’ travelling expenses etc.
Q: How many Stable Visits will you have and will there be any costs involved?
We will have at least 1 visit to Manor House Stables each year. Subject to space, members may be able to bring one guest with them. There is no cost to members to attend the yard on open mornings but there may be for guests.
Q: Do all members receive tickets every time the Club has a runner?
There can be no guarantee of a ticket if we have many members wishing to attend but to ensure they are distributed fairly, members will need to apply to be entered into the ballot for badges every time a Club horse runs. How many tickets are assigned to each runner vary hugely from racecourse to racecourse. For this reason we can only provide members with tickets (not guests/friends & family)
There will also be a chance for members to buy tickets if they are unlucky in the ballot but additional charges will apply.
Q. Where do the horses race?
Our Club horses run wherever there is a suitable race, none of the Club’s trainers have any restrictions placed upon as to where they can race a horse they are training.
Q. Can I buy a membership for someone else
A. Yes, you can purchase Michael Owen Racing Club membership as a gift for someone else.
