So...Why a Competition?
With the Cheltenham Festival just around the corner, it’s the time of year when racing really comes alive.
For us, it feels like the perfect opportunity to invite someone in and show what ownership actually involves day to day — the updates, the planning, the yard visits, and the big race days.
This isn’t just about promotion. It’s about offering a genuine introduction to being involved in racehorse ownership at the very top level.
Small Share. Real Ownership.
A 1% share still means you’re properly involved in ownership
-
You follow the plans.
-
You understand the targets.
-
You hear how things are going directly from the yard.
-
You share the highs,and let's be honest...the occasional lows when things don't quite go to plan
-
And you're there to cheer him home on race day!
Many of our owners started with a small share — it’s often the best way to experience ownership for the first time & see if it's for you!
