Hi,

 

I'm Terry Rea, the fellow behind Race Day Co.

​

If you’ve spent a little time wandering around here, you’ve probably already discovered that Race Day Co is a little different.

One minute you might be following a Country Cup through a town you’ve never visited.

The next you’re traveling with Tommy, Kenny or Finn, meeting one of our roving reporters, discovering a piece of racing history, or reading about something happening on the other side of the racing world.

And somewhere along the way, you’ll find the other side of Race Day Co: creating personalised photo gifts and racing keepsakes from memories worth holding onto.

That combination is exactly what I wanted Race Day Co to be.

​

​

Racing is more than the race

 

I’ve always believed the best racing stories don’t begin at the barriers and finish at the winning post.

They’re found in the towns.

The old grandstands and country pubs.

The trainers, jockeys, owners, strappers and volunteers.

The bloke leaning over the mounting-yard fence who has been coming to the same Cup for forty years.

The families who make a weekend of it.

And the stories that get better every time they’re told.

​

That’s why Race Day Co goes beyond simply reporting who won.

​

Our Country Cup journeys explore the places behind the races, their history, their people and the characters you meet along the way.

Our roving reporters take us out on the road, while our recurring Race Day Co characters allow us to have a little fun and tell stories in a different way.

Some of those characters are fictional, and we make no secret of that.

But the racing, the history, the places and the remarkable community that inspires their adventures are very real.

​

And there is a real person behind Race Day Co

 

That part matters to me. Race Day Co isn’t a faceless website.

​I’ve spent many years creating personalised products, and I’ve never forgotten something very simple:

When somebody gives you a photograph or a memory and asks you to turn it into something special, they’re trusting you with far more than an order number.

They’re trusting you with a piece of their story.

That’s why every design is carefully prepared.

Every proof is checked before production.

Every order matters.

​

​

​

​

 

And there is a very simple standard behind everything we make:

Would I be proud to give this to someone in my own family?

If the answer isn’t yes, it isn’t good enough.

​

From a story to something you can keep

 

That’s where our stories and our keepsakes finally meet.

A great day at the races disappears remarkably quickly.

The crowd goes home. The horses return to their stables. The grandstand becomes quiet again.

But the photograph of the winner, the syndicate celebrating together, Dad at his favourite race meeting, a first trip to the Cup, or that one extraordinary afternoon nobody in the family will ever forget…

Those can stay.

Our Photo Gifts & Keepsakes are about turning those moments into something tangible.

Something for the mantelpiece, the office, the bar, the stable or the trophy room.

Something to give.

Something to remember.

Sometimes something that simply makes you smile every time you see it.

And increasingly, we’re also working toward something bigger: helping owners, trainers, syndicates, racing clubs and businesses turn their own racing moments into keepsakes that can be shared with an entire team or community.

Because ultimately, Race Day Co isn’t really about mugs, photographs or race results.

It’s about stories worth telling and memories worth keeping.

Could I have built a website filled with nothing but products and prices?

Of course.

But where’s the fun in that?

I’d much rather take you along for the ride.

So have a wander, meet the team, follow the Cups.

Discover a town.

​

Read a story you weren’t expecting to read.

And if somewhere along the journey you find a racing memory of your own that deserves to become something more…

I’d be honoured to help you keep it.
