Elite Racing Club
Elite Racing Club is a horse racing club. In 1992, Tony Hill purchased a racehorse and named it “Elite Reg” to promote his company Elite Registrations. 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 10,000 members pay an annual fee (£199) 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. In 2012 Elite Racing Club celebrated its 20th anniversary as the most successful racing club in Britain.
