At Motive Travel, our love and passion for horseracing knows no bounds. From the sound of the starting pistol, to the thundering of hooves along the final furlong, and the roar of the crowd as the winner noses home, the pomp and the pageantry of a horseracing meet is an occasion unlike any other. Throw in the fact that your wallet could be bulging with a few more dollars if your backed steed romps home, and you have a magical mixture that few other sporting events can hope to replicate.
Race around the world
Motive Travel have been organising horseracing package tours for over 40 years. We’re not just talking about the local Sunday meeting on a run-down track out in the bush – we mean the very greatest showpiece events that horseracing has to offer. World-famous Australian occasions, such as the Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup, can be attended with Motive Travel, but we don’t limit our sights purely on Australian turf – even if the going is good!
Indeed, we’ve arranged tours to some of the most prestigious horseracing events on the planet, occasions that hold pure legendary status among racing fans. With Motive Travel, you can enjoy the fashion, as well as the fillies at Royal Ascot – remember, you’ll need to be at the height of your hat game to stand out here! Perhaps you’ll be studying the form book and sipping a fine bourbon in the American Midwest as the Kentucky Derby rolls into town – they don’t call it ‘the fastest two minutes in sport’ for nothing!
We’ll fly racing fans to the opposite side of the world, too. The Dubai World Cup is funded and run by some of the richest humans alive, so it’s perhaps of little surprise that the prize money on offer is of astronomical proportions. The name race alone is worth some AU$13.4 million, and with eight other Group 1 and Group 2 races to attend over the course of this feast of equine excellence, you’re sure to come home a happy punter.

Motive Travel’s reputation as a travel and tour provider is one of the most envied in Australia.
