INDUSTRY OWNERSHIP STRATEGY

2018-2020

LETTER FROM CEO & PRESIDENT OF ROA We are delighted to be presenting this report of the Industry Ownership Strategy following the conclusion of the first three years of work. The ROA has worked across the industry with all the key stakeholders and we would like to thank the Horserace Betting Levy Board who based their funding of the project on that basis.

We would like to thank everyone who has taken part, given up their time to date and helped deliver these important initiatives, in particular the racecourses, trainers and owners, who have worked with us to progress many of the initiatives.

The project’s objective is to deliver a better ownership experience, on and off the racecourse, attracting and retaining owners by working with our industry stakeholders and partners. It is the purpose of our organisation: To represent, promote and secure the future of ownership and racing.

Ownership is the lifeblood of our sport. It is the largest source of investment in racing. There is an urgent need, now more than ever, to protect it, promote it and build on it for the future through both the traditional and growing forms of ownership. This strategy has made real progress for the sport and laid the foundations for a better and more attractive product in the future. We are particularly proud of the work the strategy has done on racecourse service provision, developing a collaborative, working relationship between the racecourses and owners whilst improving the experience across the country.

More fundamentally, the project has provided the sport with deep insight and understanding of what motivates owners, across the ownership landscape, from syndicate members to super owners, and has changed attitudes to what is required to improve their experience both on and off the racecourse. This has built strong foundations for us moving forward.

It has been disappointing that COVID has significantly restricted what the strategy could achieve in the project’s final year. The project has produced further deliverables for the ROA and industry stakeholders to continue as we keep driving ownership forward. Whether it is syndicate accreditation or the delivery of more Industry Ownership racedays.

Still, the fundamental work of the Industry Ownership Strategy and its impacts will not be seen for a few more years. There is still more to do and we remain ambitious to modernise ownership and future-proof its contribution to the sport.

We look forward to continuing the strong collaborative attitude and understanding this project has created across the sport and driving ownership forward together in the future.

GOVERNANCE The strategy was agreed with the tri-partite stakeholder bodies, funded by the Horserace Betting Levy Board and activated by the Racehorse Owners Association in consultation with the industry.

This strategy was approved by the Member’s Committee and regular updates were provided via committee meetings and tripartite meetings throughout 2018 and 2019. The project was funded on the basis of approval by the HBLB. Monthly applications for the draw-down of funds were submitted to HBLB comprising detailed cost analysis, copy invoices and supporting documentation, scrutinised prior to payment to a dedicated IOS bank account.

THE OWNERSHIP SURVEY & DIAGNOSIS REPORT To provide a full picture of the state of ownership and the attitudes and issues behind the ownership trends the project would address, the Industry Ownership Strategy undertook an extensive consultation and survey. The findings of both the Ownership Survey and the Diagnosis Report underpin the rationale for the Industry Ownership Strategy.

The Diagnosis Report was used alongside the Ownership Survey, undertaken in 2016 and updated for the project, to provide a clear view of the feedback provided by owners, understanding their needs better, and what changes were required to improve their ownership experience. It identified how owners think, and identifying the different needs of these ownership groups, rather than thinking about owners as a homogenous group.

The Diagnosis Report provided, for the first time, an overview of the different segmentations of owners i.e sole owners, syndicate owners, new owners and “traditional” owners – as well as their motivations. The results of the Ownership survey can be found here. Some highlights are listed below:

2016 OWNERSHIP SURVEY TAKEAWAYS

44% of owners cite racecourse facilities as factor for leaving -10 NPS for an owner Annual lapse rate of 11% 73% of owners earn less than £2,500 in prize money OWNERSHIP DIAGNOSIS REPORT HIGH INVOLVEMENT OWNERS 28% of owners own 63% of all HIT, 30% will decrease involvement in next 3 years, want greater engagement on advocacy issues

SYNDICATE MEMBERS

10,000 unregistered members, O&T facilities the second most important element of ownership

INDUSTRY OWNERSHIP STRATEGY 2018-2020

ALL OWNERS

83% of owners say they can’t live without racing, most enjoyable element of ownership is involvement in training plan, 29% cite trainer experience for leaving

INDUSTRY OWNERSHIP STRATEGY 2018-2020

The Ownership Survey & Diagnosis Report

THE INDUSTRY OWNERSHIP STRATEGY In 2016, an Ownership Survey identified that a growing number of owners were considering leaving the sport due to various experiential elements from racecourse experience to access to their horse.

As racing assessed its future it was clear that, with owners, from the top to the bottom, providing the most significant investment to the sport, retaining and attracting owners to racing was a priority.

The Industry Ownership Strategy was a three year project, beginning in 2018 to improve the experience of existing owners and in turn attract new owners to the sport. The strategy was to be delivered across two key pillars:

1. Ownership Promotion 2. Service Provision Within those pillars, seven core strategic objectives were set for initiatives to deliver on and contribute to the improvement of the ownership experience:

1. Proactively recruit new owners 2. Provide differentiated and tailored membership packages 3. Improve sustainable provision to syndicates 4. Improve guidance to and representation of small owner/breeders 5. Improve and develop the raceday experience 6. Support trainers to recruit and serve owners 7. Support syndicates to increase owners’ involvement Within the strategy the ROA undertook extensive research to diagnose the issues behind the survey, identify the core ownership groups and their motivation as well as map the areas that should be targeted within the strategy to improve the ownership experience. This work had never been undertaken previously and has continued to provide value beyond this product for all branches of racing.

The strategy was agreed with the industry, funded by the Horserace Betting Levy Board and executed by the ROA in partnership with industry stakeholders.

Prize money and its distribution was explicitly excluded from the scope of the project. Prize money agreements and their negotiation are a responsibility and priority of the Horsemen’s Group and the subject of significant and ongoing work for example levy reform, prize money, new commercial agreements and growing racing’s income stream.

The Industry Ownership Strategy

DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE The ROA has delivered the Industry Ownership Strategy across three years, with all objectives and initiatives designed to meet specific key performance indicators that, in short, were set in order to retain and attract owners and horses in training.

To meet those core goals, a vast array of work and programmes were initiated to make the ownership proposition more attractive, from racecourse owner liaison officers and quality marks, to syndicate racecourse experience.

The programme of work was delivered over three years, 2018 to 2020, and many of the workstreams are continuing and funded by the ROA. The full list of initiatives developed and completed as part of the Industry Ownership Strategy are laid out below alongside their related strategic objective, status, key performance indicator and impact.

COVID-19 IMPACT Prior to 2020 extensive work had been completed with a significant programme of work planned for the year. Inevitably, work was halted on a number of projects during 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic caused a recalibration.

The ROA, working in consultation with and support of the HBLB, halted spending and paused projects to allow the HBLB to redirect funds to support prize money during the pandemic as racecourse executive contributions were suspended.

Several Industry Ownership Strategy priorities were identified (January 2020) for further activation in 2020 but due to COVID-19 did not begin:

• Racecourse Quality Mark • Racecourse Workshops (delivered February 2020) • Expand on proposal of tiered raceday benefits • Syndicate Accreditation • Creation and delivery of the Industry Owners Welcome Pack • Industry Ownership Days As soon as COVID-19 restrictions allow, the following Industry Ownership Strategy initiatives will be considered for 2021 implementation:

• Promotional events: House of Commons/Liverpool Cathedral • Racecourse Quality Mark scheme • Industry Ownership Days • Syndicate promotion/accreditation and support

INDUSTRY OWNERSHIP STRATEGY 2018-2020

Ownership Proposition

OWNERSHIP RACEDAYS The Industry Ownership Strategy identified racing spectators as a key demographic for conversion to and promotion of ownership.

Ownership Racedays have put owners at the centre of the day, shining a spotlight on ownership, driving new ownership and celebrating the role that owners play in the industry.

The racedays have also shown the value of owners to courses and the power of looking after owners during the raceday. The successful trial of the days saw attendance, runner numbers and tote revenue improved compared to a standard raceday, and has resulted in the proposed continuation of the days as spectators return. See example raceday figures below.

HOW THEY WORK The racedays aim to share and promote the experience that existing owners have, and promote ownership to an interested and knowledgeable raceday crowd.

Owners are further involved in the raceday with interviews, entertainment and industry matters updates.

There is also oncourse branding and presentations promoting the value of ownership and how to get involved.

Service Providers

QUALITY MARK With 44% of owners leaving the sport citing racecourse facilities, the Industry Ownership Strategy targeted improvement of facilities as a key driver of retaining owners.

The Racecourse Quality Mark has driven up owner facilities standards and improved on course experience to better retain owners. Further it has fostered a collaborative approach to raceday experience development and a clear set of standards to deliver against.

HOW THEY WORK The Quality Mark was introduced to provide an independent and objective assessment of the owners’ raceday experience across 50 elements from pre- to post- raceday.

The structure references existing industry assessments (Visit England and Visit Scotland Quality Assured Racecourse Scheme), and provides a comprehensive report for Racecourses post-visit.

A key aim was the support of a core service provider in the ownership experience, and to highlight how this could be improved. A feature was the sharing of best practice through Racecourse Workshops, which in 2018 were attended by 48 racecourses (plus an ARC and Scottish Racing rep).

EXPENDITURE Over three years the ROA received grant funding of £1.248m, which has been deployed in line with the strategy and documentation provided to the HBLB and annual reports to industry stakeholders including the Member’s committee.

The full expenditure is divided in the infographic between the individual strategic objectives. The expenditure per year, when averaged out over the project period, represents roughly 0.5% of the annual HBLB budget.

The impact of COVID has seen 2020, the key final year for the strategy, have expenditure significantly reduced as projects were recalibrated and funding stopped by the HBLB so preventing the continuation of many initiatives.
