Racehorse Syndicates Association (RSA) announce 2024 racecourse awards for excellence in syndicate owner race day experience
Members of the Racehorse Syndicates Association (RSA) have voted to award six courses with an award for excellence when dealing with syndicates and racing clubs.
In addition, they awarded six courses with ‘Outstanding Owners Liaison Team’.
RSA members, who represent around 10,000 syndicate owners, were invited to provide feedback on their racecourse ownership experience. This feedback provided the basis for the Awards.
RSA Award for recognition of providing an outstanding ownership experience for shared-ownership groups.
The following were also awarded “Outstanding Owners Liaison Team”
Shared ownership groups play a vital role in the racing industry and the RSA is delighted to highlight those racecourses who have provided an outstanding ownership experience to syndicates and clubs.
RSA Chairman Dan Abraham commented:
“Congratulations to all the racecourses that have been recognised by RSA Members over the past 12 months. Retention of owners is now one of the biggest challenges facing the industry and the raceday experience both at the course and at home plays a vital role in keeping owners in the sport.
When nominating racecourses, the words that were often used by RSA members were ‘communication’ and ‘flexibility’. These are vital to ensure a good raceday ownership for all types of owners, but particularly shared-ownership groups.
Many members specifically commended the ARC Owners Liaison Team for their excellent communication as well as the flexibility shown by many Jockey Club courses. It is also good to see more independent courses providing a better experience for syndicates and clubs and I expect to see many more independent courses winning RSA Awards in 2025.”
