Who We Are.
The first and only student racing club, founded in 2025, The University Racing Club was created to give students an affordable and exciting way to get involved in horse racing.
Racehorse ownership has long been seen as an exclusive privilege, reserved for those who have already made their money. We’re here to change that. Our mission is to open the gates to the world of racing for students, offering an opportunity to experience the thrill of ownership, the buzz of race day, and the camaraderie of a true racing club - all while keeping it accessible.
Being part of the life of a racehorse isn’t just about winning; it’s about being part of the journey, just like supporting your favorite sports team. By making ownership and racing more inclusive, we’re not just creating unforgettable experiences - we’re helping to support and sustain the sport we love for the next generation.
Our Approach.
