Elite Racing Club
Encyclopedia
Elite Racing Club is a horse racing club.
In 1992, the owner of Elite Registrations
, Tony Hill, purchased a racehorse as an advertising tool for Elite Registrations
, calling the racehorse “Elite Reg”. Although this horse didn’t become a well known name in the horseracing world, this became the trigger to start Elite Racing Club.
The now 20,000 members pay an annual fee (£185) to join the club and renewal discounts are available after the first year of membership.
Members receive a share of the prizemoney earned by the club's horses. Additionally they receive a weekly newsletter, plus options to visit both the stables as well as courses where the club's horses are racing, with opportunities for members to gain both paddock and winner enclosure entry.
In recent years the club has focused increasingly on breeding racehorses who will go on to race for the club. It has achieved much success with this, notably with the champion mare Soviet Song
. Soviet Song has herself now joined the club's breeding operation.
In 2012 Elite Racing Club will celebrate it's 20th anniversary as the most succsessful racing club in Britain.
