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 Clarke’s Owners and Trainers suite including complimentary luncheon.  Alternatively, any owner with a runner on the day may request a minimum 20 syndicate badges with access to the Syndicates Lounge.  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 owners@uttoxeter-racecourse.co.uk by 18:00 the day before racing or call our reception on 01889 562561 option 4 then option 1.

Syndicate managers are required to provide the racecourse with the names of the 8 members of the syndicate that they wish to get access to the parade ring for their race. These members will be issued with wristbands upon arrival for parade ring access.

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 

The Clarke’s Owners and Trainers lounge, hosted by Debbie Newman, is reserved exclusively for Owners & Trainers with runners on a raceday.  Conveniently located between the parade and pre-parade rings, it offers complimentary luncheon including desserts 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 owners@uttoxeter-racecourse.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.

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.

For Owners with a horse in the race you are invited to watch from the balcony in our winning connections room.

For races without a horse entered you can view the race from our Premier Grandstand overlooking the finishing line.

For those unable to join on the day, all racing from Uttoxeter 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.

Winning connections are invited to watch a re-run of their race in Winning Connections, hosted by Lisa Kirkham.  Celebrate with a glass of Monopole Champagne and our much loved petit fours.

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.

We value your feedback, at any time.
