A Horse Racing Partnership With A Unique Difference
Big Bear Racing is a horse racing partnership with a unique difference. We are proudly at the forefront of relocating tried horses across Australia into easier grades of racing, allowing these horses a better chance of successfully working through their grades.
We partner with friends, family, business partners and create ownership opportunities to suit everyone’s needs. Our goal is to provide you with a winning horse that will work through their grades and provide you with an opportunity to make a profit and importantly enjoy all that horse racing in Australia has to offer.
Our horses are sourced predominately from the leading stables in Sydney and Melbourne. Working with our trusted contacts and Bloodstock agents alike, we have unique access to secure the best-tried horses and carefully select the trainers we work within North Queensland; North Western NSW and Mid North Coast NSW.
We understand that communication is paramount and we aim to give all our owners the best experience and opportunities the horse racing industry provides, second to none.
We look forward to seeing you in the RED AND BLACK colours of Big Bear Racing soon!
