Owning and racing a harness horse can be the most exciting decision you’ll ever make.

Nothing beats the thrill of seeing a horse that you own, hit the lead and race away from the field to win a race.

Racing a harness horse, or standardbred as it is known, is simply a lot of fun and it provides thousands of owners every year with many great lasting memories.

And while thoroughbred racing is known as the ‘Sport of Kings’ due to the high costs associated with ownership and participation, harness racing is known as the ‘Sport of the People’ for its affordability, accessibility and friendly family-like feel.

Regardless of the venue or the stakes involved, it’s the same winning feeling and one that you can enjoy for a much cheaper outlay.

And with over 4000 harness races and $33 million in stakemoney on offer every year in Victoria, there has never been a better time to share in the excitement of harness racing ownership.
