A big part of what we do at Pompey Ventures is making ownership feel personal.
Smaller groups, real involvement, and actually feeling part of it — not just watching from the outside.
This felt like a good opportunity to give someone the chance to really leave their mark — their name on the stable door, their name in the Racing Post… their horse.
Ownership. Made Personal.
🏇She has a name...
After receiving more than 1,500 name suggestions, the votes are in and we're delighted to reveal the name chosen for our Twilight Son x Fellbeck filly...
"Goldsmith Avenue"
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition. We were genuinely blown away by the number, quality and creativity of the entries, and narrowing them down to a shortlist was no easy task!
Chosen by her owners from a final shortlist of four, Goldsmith Avenue takes her name from a well-known Portsmouth road — a fitting nod to Pompey Ventures' roots.
Congratulations to Phil Templeman, who submitted the winning name and wins a fully inclusive 1% share in the filly.
Join Phil as an owner 😉
The response to our naming competition genuinely took us by surprise. We received over 550 individual entries and it was lovely to see how many people had taken an interest in this filly before she has even made it to the racecourse.
It also got us thinking.
A smaller share option
We know larger shares are not for everyone, so to mark Goldsmith Avenue officially being named, we’ve decided to make a limited number of smaller 1.25% shares available.
It means a few more people can get involved with her before she makes her debut, while still keeping the ownership group small, personal and properly involved — which is what PV has always been about.
1.25% share in Goldsmith Avenue
Initial share price: £591.50
Monthly training fees: £55 from 1st Jun 26
Why we're excited about Goldsmith Avenue
Trained by Ollie Sangster, Goldsmith Avenue is by dual Group 1-winning sprinter Twilight Son and comes from a proven family. Her dam, Fellbeck, has already produced three winners from four runners — a 75% winners-to-runners record — including Deep Dive, a seven-time winner in Italy. The wider pedigree also features multiple Group and Listed performers.
Purchased for €21,000 at the Goffs Orby Sale, she is also qualified for the Goffs Two Million Series, giving her owners something exciting to aim at if she progresses as we hope.
Since joining Ollie, she has been given plenty of time to grow and develop, and that patience looks to have done her plenty of good. She is a lovely, big filly who has been growing a lot, handling her work well and is now starting to step things up.
Ollie has retained a share in the filly himself, which gives us plenty of confidence, and we are really looking forward to seeing her progress towards the track over the coming months.

Her owners will ultimately choose the final name — so if you purchase a share before entries close, you’ll be part of that decision too 😉
