information for owners

The Queensland Turf Club (QTC) recognises the significant contribution made to the racing industry by owners and places a high value on their involvement in meetings conducted at Eagle Farm Racecourse. The QTC offers owners a range of raceday privleges designed to make your raceday at Eagle Farm both enjoyable and comfortable.

The information that follows outlines the QTC policy that will be applied on the day the owner's horse is racing at Eagle Farm. Requests for privileges additional to those listed are likely to receive favourable consideration provided such requests are reasonable and received by the QTC with adequate notice.

privileges for owners (and syndicate managers)

The following privileges are offered to owners* (and syndicate managers*) whose names are printed in the racebook on the raceday.

• Admission to Eagle Farm Racecourse
• Admission to the John Power Stand (Saturdays and Public Holidays) or Members' Stand (Midweeks)
• Admission to the Mounting Enclosure (nominated race only)
• Option to purchase additional tickets to the John Power Stand (Saturdays and Public Holidays) or Members' Stand (Midweeks)

* Complimentary admission to the racecourse, the John Power Stand and the Mounting Enclosure is offered to one guest accompanying the owner (or syndicate manager).

privileges for syndicate owners

The following privileges are offered to members of syndicates+ (up to a total of twenty owners per horse) provided the syndicate manager has submitted a list of names to the QTC office by noon on the working day prior to the race meeting:

• Admission to Eagle Farm Racecourse
• Admission to the John Power Stand (Saturdays and Public Holidays) or Members' Stand (Midweeks)
• Admission to the Mounting Enclosure (nominated race only)

proof of identity

As a condition for receiving raceday privileges, owners are required to provide proof of identity (e.g. current driver's license) when requested by QTC personnel.

procedure for obtaining owners' privileges

1. Enter the course via the Members' Entrance gate, informing the attendant of your name and the name of the horse you own. Proof of identity may be requested. Admission will be granted as outlined above (includes a bona fide guest accompanying an owner or syndicate manager whose name appears in the racebook).
2. Go to the Raceday Office (the lawn near the railway line) and inform QTC personnel of your name, your guest's name and the name of the horse you own. Appropriate tickets will then be issued.

dress standards

Owners are reminded that dress standards apply to the John Power Stand and the Mounting Enclosure (as well as all Members' areas).

Gentlemen are required to wear trousers, a collared shirt and a tie; ladies' dress is expected to meet appropriate contemporary standards. (shorts, denim, sportswear, joggers, etc, are not acceptable for gentlemen or ladies)
