Star Sports launch Brighton Owners Series
Star Sports are set to launch the ‘Star Sports Brighton Owners Series’ in collaboration with the Racehorse Owners Association, which will crown the top owner or syndicate at Brighton Racecourse starting from their first fixture today and culminating on the last day of the Star Sports Brighton Festival Of Racing on 8th August.
The winning owner or syndicate will receive £10,000, with an additional £5,000 to be donated to a local Brighton charity selected by the winning connections. If a syndicate wins the overall prize, it will be paid to the manager of that entity and distributed accordingly amongst the syndicate members.
The top owner or syndicate will be decided by total prize money earned, with a leaderboard to be displayed in the owners’ and trainers’ area. Last year the leading connections were the Eden Racing Club, finishing the year with just over £24,000 in total earnings.
Star Sports are a Brighton-based bookmaker that have an online, retail and on-course presence. Star Sports are proud to support Brighton racecourse and aspiring owners in their venture to be crowned leading owner at the track for the 2025 season.
Flynn Goward, Managing Director at Star Sports, said: “This year we are supporting Brighton Racecourse by sponsoring a plethora of meetings, all the way up to the Star Sports Brighton Festival Of Racing at the beginning of August.
“Launching this Owners Series was a great opportunity to support our local track and the owners that run their horses there.
“We at Star Sports want to wish all the owners and syndicates the very best of luck in their quest to be the leading connections at Brighton this season.”
Louise Norman, Chief Executive of the ROA, commented: “We’re thrilled to see Star Sports launch this exciting new series at Brighton Racecourse for owners and syndicates. Recognising their vital role in British racing, initiatives like this not only reward participation but also celebrate the passion and commitment of those who help keep the sport thriving. As the largest contributors to the sport, it’s fantastic to see owners and syndicates recognised in this way.”
