Are Your Owners Feeling the Excitement This Spring?

With major races on the horizon, it’s time to bring owners along for the ride, building anticipation, connection, and loyalty with every update.

The Build-Up Begins

Spring in Australian racing means one thing: big moments. From The Everest to the Melbourne Cup, the season ahead is packed with marquee races, electric crowds, and horses peaking at just the right time.

But while trainers are deep in prep mode, early mornings at the track, planning gallops, fine-tuning preps, there’s one group often left behind until race day: the owners.

And in 2025, that’s a missed opportunity.

Owners Want to Feel the Buzz

Across Australia, more than 140,000 people are registered as racehorse owners, roughly one in every 191 Australians. With the rise of syndicates like MyRacehorse, many of these owners are new to the sport, eager to learn, digitally savvy, and hungry to be part of the journey, not just the result.

They’re not just asking, ‘Is my horse running?’. They’re asking, ‘How’s she working? What’s the plan? What’s the team thinking heading into the carnival?’

One syndicate owner recently put it simply:

I love knowing what the team’s thinking - it makes me feel part of the inner circle.

Spring Strategy: Stir Emotion, Build Loyalty

Spring is your chance to strengthen owner relationships and turn casual investors into passionate advocates.

  1. Tease the targets: Share the races you’re aiming for, whether it’s a metro BM70 or a Group 1 tilt.
  2. Bring them behind the curtain: A quick update on a gallop or change in prep can turn quiet interest into full-blown excitement.
  3. Highlight the horse’s journey: From first-up runs to late-prep progress, give owners a story they can follow and cheer for.
  4. Celebrate the path, not just the prize: Not every stable is chasing Group 1s – a personal best, a breakthrough run, or a black-type placing is just as meaningful when owners feel part of it.

Make It Easy with Tools That Work

For trainers, the challenge isn’t willingness, it’s time. Between horse care, staff management, and race prep, there’s little left for thoughtful updates.

Don’t Let Spring Pass You By

The Spring Carnival isn’t just about prize money, it’s about connection.

The horses may be the stars, but it’s the shared experience that turns owners into advocates and return clients. The most successful stables know: winning on the track matters, but winning hearts keeps them in your corner.

As you head into one of the most exciting times on the racing calendar, ask yourself:

Are your owners feeling the thrill yet?
