New racing club launched in time for Christmas

Stumped for a great Christmas present to buy a family member or friend who loves their racing?

Well, we are delighted to announce the launch of 'The Dods Racing Club' as a new, low-cost way of experiencing the thrills of racehorse ownership.

The main the focus of The Dods Racing Club is centred around providing an affordable opportunity to be involved in a racehorse.

You are only required to pay a one-off payment a year, allowing you to fully enjoy the experience from then on, with no hidden extra costs.

Membership will begin from the moment the payment is processed, and we have the following payment options to choose from:

• £259 for one-year membership

• £175 for 6 months membership

• £399 for a joint one-year membership

As we are a Racing Club and not a syndicate, we do not offer a share of the club horses' prize money nor sale profits. The sole benefit of this club is to provide you with a relaxed yet entertaining experience of being a part of the racehorses’ exhilarating career.

The only thing we expect you to do is enjoy yourself and leave the rest to us.

When you become a member of the Dods Racing Club, the following benefits will be accessible to you:

• Regular updates of the horses, including a full pre/post race analysis

• Regular pictures of the horses, allowing you to be connected and admire their progression

• Entry and declaration emails

• The opportunity to apply for race day badges when club horses run *

• Full access to the owners' facilities on the racecourses

• Visits to the stable yard to meet the team and watch the club horses up the gallop.

• The ability to suggest a name for unnamed club horses.

• The opportunity to vote for the Club Racing Colours

* As the club will only be provided with a limited number of complimentary owner’s badges from the racecourse, in order to make it a fair experience, members will be required to apply for badges. The badges will be then be allocated to members randomly. However, you may also have the opportunity to buy an owner's badge at a reduced price (subject to availability) if you are not allocated a badge.

At the moment there are two horses involved in the Dods Racing Club.

Up first is Stallone, a 2016 gelding who was purchased at the Newmarket Tattersalls Horses in Training sales. Stallone is a strong sprint type individual who goes on easy ground over 6-7 furlongs.

He is an exciting horse who is sure to well in handicaps up north. He has already won three races and been placed 6 times.

Secondly, we have an unnamed two-year-old, and members will have the chance to suggest a name for her. She is a strong Adaay filly whose dam has had three winners from seven runners. A two-year-old type who should give a lot of fun over 5 and 6 furlongs as she has a very speedy pedigree.

The club will soon have its own tab on our website to keep you up to date with developments.

If you are interested in becoming a member or still have a few further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us using the email address provided below. We look forward to hearing from you.
