Owners & Trainers Essentials

Please register your attendance through our new Owners’ Booking System. Please do not use the PASS system for this meeting.

The lead owner registered at Weatherbys will receive a unique access email and code with an entry letter. This code allows the lead owner to use the booking system once only, and bookings are only valid for declared runners.

All attendees must be registered by 3:00pm the day before racing. When completing the booking:

• Enter the full names of every individual who will attend the race meeting.
• Ensure you include your own name as an attendee.
• Please do not register multiple guests under the same name - each guest must be listed separately.

Please note: Badges are non-transferable & children under 18 do not require a badge.

We ask syndicate managers and trainers to share this Owners’ Information Brochure with their members so that everyone is aware of the requirements. Syndicate managers and trainers are authorised to enter attendee details into the Owners’ Booking System on behalf of their members.

Single ownership - Eight badges & eight meal vouchers.

Partnerships & Syndicates - Eight badges & eight meal vouchers.

Subject to availability additional badges can be purchased on the day at the half price rate of £12.50, as well as meal vouchers at £25 per person.

Large Syndicates

We recognise that ownership takes many different forms, and we aim to accommodate the needs of larger groups. Syndicates and racing clubs may choose to exchange their complimentary lunches for up to 20 admission tickets to the racecourse and the syndicate lounge. If preferred, meal vouchers can be purchased separately by syndicate members. Up to 20 should also provide access to the Parade Ring, subject to declaration numbers. Please ensure this arrangement is clearly communicated to all syndicate members prior to arrival. Additional general admission tickets will also be available to purchase for large syndicates at the reduced rate of £12.50 each

Our Syndicate Lounge 

The Red Rum Bar, located on the ground floor of the Earl of Derby Grandstand, will be available to all owners, including syndicate members, throughout the day.

Aintree Racecourse is committed to ensuring that all guests enjoy a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible experience.

In line with the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), we place great importance on providing convenient access and appropriate facilities for visitors with disabilities, and we continually look for opportunities to enhance and improve our provisions.

While some of our buildings are older and feature varying floor levels, we work hard to ensure that all guests can access the racecourse with ease, and that key services and amenities are available close to entry points whenever full access is not structurally achievable. In recent years, significant investment and upgrades across the site, including modernisations completed as recently as 2008, have helped us improve our accessibility further.

To support our visitors, we have partnered with AccessAble to create a comprehensive Accessibility Guide, offering detailed, up-to-date information to help guests plan their day with confidence.

You can view the full guide here:

Guests who may require additional assistance are warmly encouraged to contact us in advance so we can support their visit or speak to a member of staff on the day.

Please call or email Carly Sage on 0151 522 2959 aintree.owners@thejockeyclub.co.uk

At Aintree Racecourse we believe racing should be enjoyed by anyone and everyone. And one thing is certainly true, the more relaxed and comfortable we feel, the more likely we are to have a great time. So that’s why we’ve created one very simple piece of guidance, to come “dressed to feel your best”.

If you are interested in monitoring the Going please either refer to our website or contact Sulekha Varma, Clerk of the Course, on 07715 640525.

As always, your experience is important to us here at Aintree Racecourse and we welcome any feedback you may have.
