Owners & Trainers

Check In - All owners will need to complete the COVID-19 online learning module in advance of the day followed by health questions and a temperature check on arrival at the racecourse. Please note: Given that there are separate parking arrangements for each zone, we would recommend owners and racing personnel travelling separately.

COVID-19 online learning module - https://www.roa.co.uk/raceday/covid19/return/elearning.html

PASS - It is essential to register your attendance no later than 4pm the day before racing using the Racecourse PASS System via https://www.rcapass.com If you do not have access to the PASS System or need any assistance in its use, please contact the PASS Helpdesk on 01933 270333 or pass@weatherbys.co.uk

ID - All owners, guests and representatives must bring Photo ID with them to the racecourse. Note that it is currently not essential to bring your PASS Card.

Times - The Owners Entrance will open one hour before the published first race time, and there is no requirement for Owners to arrive or leave at any given time. You may enjoy as much or as little of the race meeting as you wish with us.

Entrance - We are now delighted to offer two Owners passes per runner. If you have any questions please contact the racecourse directly on 01243 543335 or email info@fontwellpark.co.uk.

Parking – Owners parking has been changed to the centre of the course. This can be accessed by the entrance on the A27, 0.5 miles past the roundabout heading towards Chichester. This can also be seen on the map; which can be found using the link at the bottom of the email.

Facilities – The new Owners Zone consists of the first floor in the Tecom Grandstand, some of the Paddock Enclosure and viewing of the home straight and winning post in front of the Tecom Grandstand.

Complimentary Catering – This will be provided as a range of quality sandwiches, salads, soup, fruit, crisps, snacks and bottled water served buffet style as well as complimentary tea and coffee. Additionally, there will be a fully stocked bar, which will be selling a range of alcoholic and non- alcoholic beverages. Please note, this bar will only be able to accept contactless card payment at this time. Owners must be seated to consume their food/drink.  

Racecards – Condensed A4 racecards will be available to all owners.

Parade Ring – Due to the limited space, and the strict infection control measures operating, you will not be able to access the parade ring at any time. However, you will be able to view the parade ring from the Paddock Enclosure.

Jockey’s debrief – There is a debriefing area at the bottom of the parade ring that you will be able to stand and speak to both jockey and trainer if you wish. We would ask respectfully as there is limited space that we keep everything moving whilst always observing social distancing.

Zones – It is important to understand that the Owners Zone is separate from the Racing Zone and access is not allowed between the two in either direction which is a direct consequence of the infection control protocols.

Winning Memento – The connections with a winner will receive a picture of their horse and jockey and a USB memory stick recording, both of which you will be given on the day. Social Distancing – You will be required to maintain 2m minimum distance from others. Please follow instructions from signage and stewards and we thank you in advance for your co-operation.

Racing – For information on the Going and Weather, please contact the Clerk of the Course, Philip Hide on 07976 761945 or phide@arenaracingcompany.co.uk
