Thank you, owners!
RWWA would like thank all owners for their continuous investment and support of the WA racing industry, and for their patience and cooperation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
To celebrate the return of patrons back on-course, we are sharing the ownership experiences of some of our owners, such as thoroughbred owner Hasnie Money, who is one of over 13,000 people investing in the WA racing industry.
Hasnie became involved with the industry after watching other owners from the sideline. Seeing first-hand how thrilling being an owner could be, Hasnie made the decision to purchase his first share.
“I originally became involved through my family in Melbourne. My grandfather came from the thoroughbred and greyhound industry, and I purchased a share in my first horse in 2009. However, living in Perth made it hard to get the full experience, so it wasn’t long until I got involved with Impressive Racing.”
“So far my ownership journey has been great, life changing even in some ways. It took me a few years before I got the full winner experience, but it was certainly worth the wait, especially with the successes Gatting has brought our syndicate since winning the WATC Derby in 2017.”
“Being an owner allows you to meet people in a similar situation. We all hope to own a horse good enough to win races, and we all share the same passion – that’s the most enjoyable part.”
“Now that restrictions have been lifted at racecourses, I look forward to being back at the track, enjoy a drink and catch up with everyone, as well as watching my horses race in the flesh.”
Once again, RWWA would like to thank owners for their understanding during this challenging period, and for their support as we progressively get back to enjoying racing as we know it in WA.
