Owners & Trainers

Owners, Syndicates & Shared Ownerships may request up to 8 complimentary O&T badges per runner (registered through PASS in advance of the day) for the Restaurant including complimentary luncheon. Alternatively, any owner with a runner on the day may request a minimum 20 syndicate badges with access to the Syndicates Marquee.  We do not offer a mixture or combination of both options so Owners must choose in advance if they wish to enjoy O&T or Syndicate Lounge facilities.  

The number of Owners admitted per horse into the Parade Ring is 8.  However, we appreciate this is a really important part of any owner's visit and if you require more badges please ask in advance and where possible we aim to be flexible.  Please note, even if requested we do not guarantee more than 8 Parade Ring passes.

To book into the Syndicates Lounge please email syndicates@bath-racecourse.co.uk by 17:00 the day before racing or call Jane Broad on 07989 146 066.

At the discretion of the racecourse additional badges may be requested but are not guaranteed.

Owners with runners that may require assistance with booking badges or other queries should contact Jane Broad, O&T Liaison, on 07989 146 066 or email jbroad@arcowners.co.uk  

Syndicates & Shared ownerships have the opportunity to enjoy the exclusive Syndicate Lounge overlooking the track.

This offers those with Syndicate Badges on the day (must be booked in advance) a private base to enjoy with fellow syndicate and shared ownership members including complimentary Tea, Coffee & biscuits with a pay bar and light food offering.

We have an exclusive restaurant for Owners & Trainers with runners on a raceday.  Conveniently located in a seperate facility next to the Parade Ring, it offers complimentary luncheon and afternoon cakes (with a valid voucher) along with Tea & Coffee, a full bar and tote service.  If you have any specific dietary or allergen requirements please contact us in advance of the day by emailing jbroad@arcowners.co.uk    

Please be advised that tables within O&T may not be reserved for the day.  We politely ask that when you finish dining please be considerate and vacate or offer to share your table with other O&T to help ensure that all guests can enjoy their experience.  

Take a look at our sample menu as an example of the complimentary luncheon offered to O&T.

If Owners wish to dine in the main restaurant, a discount is offered exclusively to Owners.  Please contact Emily Dinning on info@bath-racecourse.co.uk.

On arrival please head for the Owners & Trainers Entrance (to the right hand side of the main entrance) where a team member will look forward to welcoming you, providing your badges and briefing you on the day's information.

Nothing matters more to us when racing than the safety and welfare of horse and rider.  Central to that is the track itself and our groundstaff do everything in their power to provide an optimum racing surface.  

On duty on racedays we have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage.  Their key responsibility is to monitor and provide care to the competitors throughout their time at the racecourse. 

The locations and vehicle movements of these skilled specialists during racing are designed to provide a rapid response to any incident across the site. We also have a high-specification horse ambulance in attendance at every fixture to enable safe transport of a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital if required.

It is our standard practice to erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as this provides privacy and a safe, calm environment in which to accurately diagnose and treat the patient as necessary.  Please do not assume the worst if screens are erected. 

We are fully committed to minimizing risk in our sport, to dealing professionally and efficiently with any injury, and to maintaining the highest possible quality of care for the horses and jockeys racing here today.

We do not operate a dress code.  However, we do encourage dressing up for the occasion of a day at the races, and appropriate for the weather.

The Owners & Trainers Facilities are located a short distance from the winning post. 

For those unable to join on the day, all racing from Bath is broadcast live on Sky Sports Racing Channel 415.  

Owners with runners on the day may go into the Parade Ring for their race. 

An allocation of eight Parade Ring badges is offered per runner, and we try to be flexible where we can if we receive requests in advance for additional Parade Ring passes.  Please note this is not guaranteed.  

Children U12 are not permitted access into the Parade Ring.

Winning connections are invited to watch a re-run of their race in Winning Connections, hosted by Maddy White to celebrate with a glass of Monopole Champagne.

A presentation is made to every winning Owner, Trainer & Jockey and Owners may choose their preferred memento to take home on the day.  All winning owners will receive a complimentary photograph.  For those not present on the day, the memento will be handed to your Trainer or their representative. 

If winning owners are not present we will endeavour to invite placed connections to enjoy the same experience.

We offer winning, placed and all Owners on the day complimentary USB copies of their race, multiple copies are available should syndicates require them.  We also offer the same to all stablestaff associated with a runner on the day. 

Any announcements about Inspections or the abandonment of racing or races will be made through Racing Admin and our social media @BathRacecourse including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

We value your feedback, at any time.

On racedays feedback postcards or ROA QR code feedback is available in all O&T facilities.  Please take time to complete these and hand to a member of staff so that we can learn what we are doing well, and where we can do better.
