Our membership costs £60 (including VAT) for the standard membership package or £120 (including VAT) for the VIP membership pacakge, as set out in our terms and conditions. The contract starts as soon as your payment is made and the funds have cleared into our account and is for the duration as specified in the terms and conditions.

  4. Stable visits to watch your horse train
  5. The possibility of access to the owners’ and trainers’ areas and parade ring on race days (where available)

  1. Complementary exclusive three course lunch for 2 with the trainer, followed by a trip to the famous Lambourn gallops.

Although most races run in the UK have prize money you should treat your membership as months of entertainment and fun rather than an investment to make money. Before any prize money owed can be calculated all racing and race-day costs must be met. These include but are not limited to:

  • Entry fees paid by the Racing Club for races
  • Any supplementary fees paid by the Racing Club for races
  • Transportation and staff costs of getting the Horse to and from the races
  • Any prescribed amounts due to the trainer, jockey and groom under the Rules of Racing
  • Racing equipment and silks
  • BHA fees

If the prize money earned through a year is less than the total of the racing and race day costs through the year, no prize money will be payable. As such, you should consider the main benefit of your membership to be participation and involvement. Any prize money is an unexpected bonus!
Prize money and costs will be retained on a race by race basis. Any money owing to you will be repaid once a year after the end of the membership period.

If Distributable Prize Money at the end of the membership year is less than £5 per member, a charitable donation will be made to a charity voted for by the members.

Towards the end of the membership period we will send you an email reminder to prompt you to renew. Renewal and payment will be done through the website.

All your details can be changed by emailing rupert@theposhpundit.co.uk.
