Corporate Sponsorship

As a sport, racing is very compatible with corporate entertainment. Sponsoring a race or race meeting offers unique advertising and promotional opportunities. It also gives you valuable time with your clients, staff, suppliers or distributors, amongst the excitement and colour of a relaxing day at the races.

We recognise that building and maintaining relationships has the potential to realise mutual benefits, which are especially important for both of our businesses.

There are a range of packages offered for businesses to gain the benefits of a year round association with Yarra Valley Racing. The cost and range of privileges vary according to the race status, level of prize money, and type of hospitality required.

Sponsorship can be specifically tailored to client requirements.

This will ensure that we can provide maximum benefits, visibility, entertainment,
PR and exposure to align with your business objectives.

Racing offers businesses unique exposure to a wide audience, not only at the racecourse, but also through the extensive media groups that cover racing, including the TVN and Sky television networks, the national racing radio network, daily newspapers, and specialist racing publications.

Yarra Valley Racing is a progressive Country Racing Club, with excellent dining and corporate facilities and a strong focus on customer service and customer satisfaction. These strategies assure you of the club's commitment to servicing your needs and building long-term relationships.

NB: Many organisations claim company race sponsorship as a marketing tax deductions a sport, racing is very compatible with corporate entertainment.
