Owners & Trainers

We offer up to eight complimentary O&T badges per runner (registered through PASS in advance of the day) for all Owners, Syndicates & Shared Ownerships. This includes access to the Restaurant with a complimentary lunch.

The other option for an owner with a horse running that day is to request a minimum of 20 syndicate badges to. gain access to the Racing Lounge.

We can’t offer a mixture or combination of Restaurant and Syndicate Lounge access so please choose in advance which facilities you would prefer to enjoy.

Up to eight Owners per horse can go in the Parade Ring. We know what an important part of any owner's visit and if you require more badges please ask in advance and we always try to be flexible. However, even if requested we can’t guarantee more than eight Parade Ring passes per runner.

The safety and welfare of both horse and rider is top of our priorities at Bath Racecourse. Central to that is the track itself and our ground staff do everything they can to create an optimum racing surface on our turf course.

We have a dedicated and experienced team of highly-qualified Vets, Doctors and Paramedics following the action at every stage. They monitor and offer care to the competitors throughout their entire time at the racecourse. We make sure that they are all on hand to provide rapid response to any incident across the whole site. We have a high-specification horse ambulance at every fixture which means we can safely transport a horse from the track to our on-site veterinary treatment facility for further treatment, or to the nearest equine referral hospital as quickly and safely as possible.

We erect screens around any horse or jockey requiring attention on the course as standard. This provides privacy and a safe, calm environment to accurately diagnose and treat the patient. Please don’t panic or assume the worst if screens are put up around a horse, all injuries are treated in the same way.

Please be assured that at Bath Racecourse, 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 don’t have a strict dress code, other than please don’t wear sports shirts or trainers and no offensive fancy dress. We know that many of our O&T enjoy dressing up for the occasion, so go for a smart / casual option. Make sure the outfit is appropriate for the weather as you will mainly be outdoors for the racing.

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.
