Racing Hearts

Words cannot describe how grateful we are to have secured this $100,000 grant via the Gambling Community Benefit Fund 🙌🏻

The fencing at the McIntyre Centre, our new Brisbane base is in desperate need of replacing and this will go a long way to achieving that meaning safer, more secure paddocks for our beautiful team of horses 🐴 💖

🐴 FUNDING SECURED 🎉

I am delighted to announce that $100,000 in vital funding has been secured for Racing Hearts, via the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, to improve fencing infrastructure at its new Brisbane base, at our local McIntyre Centre.

Congratulations!

We are thrilled to be hosting the Lexus Australia Melbourne Cup tour at our new Brisbane location, The Racing Hearts McIntyre Centre next Friday 13th. Everyone welcome. Details below ⬇️

We are loving the support of our fabulous clients to get the centre up and thriving again.

FUNDRAISER ALERT ‼️

Thanks to & please join us on Wednesday 4th September at Event Cinemas Kotara for a very special advanced screening of ‘A Horse Named Winx’ to raise funds for our charity 💕

The movie tells the inspirational story of one of our greatest athletes, a local Hunter horse named Winx, born in Jerry’s Plains at Coolmore Stud.

Winx became known as the ‘people’s horse’, an Australian icon who transcended her sport, joining the realms of fellow legends like Cathy Freeman and Sir Donald Bradman.

During her reign, huge crowds descended on racetracks across Australia to witness the Pharlap of the modern era pull off the impossible, 33 straight wins, a feat unlikely to ever be repeated. Winx’s final race was watched by millions worldwide.

Winx became a front-page phenomenon, and in the process, thrust her trainer Chris Waller and jockey Hugh Bowman onto the world stage.

‘A Horse Named Winx’ goes behind the sports headlines and spectacular victories to reveal the unforgettable spirit of a champion, who away from the racetrack faced her biggest battle and once again refused to be beaten. Tickets can be purchased here
