Travel Allowances

We welcome enquiries concerning potential contributions towards the cost of transport.

• Ascot will contribute towards cost of transport for 115+ rated horses travelling to the UK from outside Europe to compete specifically in Group One races at Ascot.

• Travel incentives will not apply for horses that have been trained outside Europe but are being transferred to be campaigned in

Europe in the name of a European trainer.

Ascot offers connections of each travelling horse (subject to meeting the criteria above) an agreed “all in” travel allowance towards the cost of the venture. This sum will depend on the races being targeted, the horse’s rating and its profile. It is thereafter the responsibility of the horse’s connections to settle directly all charges incurred, including the horse shipping, personal flights, stabling, access to training facilities and general expenditure. The International Racing Bureau will be available to assist with the organising and booking all of the above, under their contract with Ascot. All contact details can be found on pages 32.

For more information regarding the Owners’ experience at Royal Ascot, please see page 12.
