Owner Events

Results are important but so is having a good time. That’s why most people get into the great sport of horse racing—for enjoyment.

Racehorse Owners with Heart of the South enjoy our popular Owner Events which we hold throughout the year. Family and friends are also welcome to join us and experience an insight into the world of racing.

As well as hospitality racedays, summer BBQ’s and Christmas visits, we strive go that little bit extra and previous events include:

3 days in Dublin taking in Darley’s beautiful Kildangan Stud and the Punchestown Festival
A fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of Weatherbys Racing Administration Centre
A day picking out the stars of the future at the Tattersalls Millions Sales
An ‘evening with the handicapper’ was held in 2012 which was the first of its kind, and again in 2016 by popular demand

In 2025, Heart of the South Racing will be celebrating 30 years of success! We cannot believe how far we’ve come over the years and are so grateful for our team, our loyal Owners, our trainers and of course our wonderful horses.
