Have you ever wondered what it would be like to own a Standardbred racehorse? Sign up for Horse Ownership 101 for your opportunity to learn first-hand from two of the most successful organizers of Fractional Ownership Groups - TheStable.ca and LandMark Racing Stable, along with a newer group, Ownastandardbred.com.

Horse Ownership 101 is sponsored by Ontario Lottery and Gaming and Ontario Racing. This free workshop will be hosted by Standardbred Canada on Friday, October 18, in conjunction with the London Selected Yearling Sale on October 19 and 20, and in co-operation with The Raceway at the Western Fair District.

Starting at 4:30 p.m., the workshop will kick off at the Agriplex with a one-hour interactive presentation with representatives from TheStable.ca, LandMark Racing Stable, and Ownastandardbred.com. Speakers will provide overviews on all of the elements of racehorse ownership, and what you can expect as a horse owner in their respective stables.

TheStable.ca, LandMark Racing, and Ownastandardbred.com, are fractional ownership groups where individuals are encouraged to purchase a small percentage of a racehorse for the chance to experience the thrill of harness racing for little risk.

A tour of the Agriplex and a meet and greet with yearlings and consignors will follow the presentation at 5:30 p.m. The Workshop will then shift to The Raceway where there will be a paddock tour, dinner and racing action starting at 6:55 p.m.

There are a limited number of seats available. To reserve your seat at this FREE workshop, email [email protected] or contact Kathy or Hailey at Standardbred Canada at (905) 853-3060 x207 or x243.
