Choosing Colours
Racing Colours are comprised of a set of Jacket, Sleeve and cap and the racing colours themselves. These colours are separated into two distinct categories, owners and stable colours.
Owners and Stable Colours
- Owners may register a set of Colours in their own name by advising of their selection. Owners colours are registered on a five year renewal cycle, the next renewal date is 31 July 2010. Cost $77.50.
- Owners of colours may loan their set to another partnership so long as they have an interest in the racing of the horse. This method saves partnerships the expense of having a new set of colours made. Cost $62.00.
- Alternatively, if the trainer of a horse has registered stable colours these may be used by owners, again saving the expense of registering their own colours.
- Stable Colours cost $154.50 to register.
Different colours can be used for the Jacket, Sleeve and Cap backgrounds and for the markings on each of these.
