Bringing Experienced Owners Together

Joining Forces to Buy Better Horses

Ours is a radically different approach to joint ownership. We are not running large syndicates and do not need costly racing managers. Our vision is bringing owners together to share the costs, risks and enjoyment of owning racehorses.

Latest News 2016 had started and ended with tragedies with the deaths of The Fugitive and Lord Ben Stack. We banished the lows of racing in the best possible way when winning on the first day of the New Year with Future Gilded, aka “Frankie”, up at Catterick – an emotional win >

STOP PRESS: First winner of 2017 didn’t take long, as Future Gilded won readily at Catterick on New Year’s Day. Off the track for 638 days, there’s lots more to come.

SHARES FOR SALE: All the shares in our new 2yo filly with Karl Burke and the juvenile hurdler Sporty Yankee with Martin Keighley are now sold.

Five Goals We’re Striving to Achieve ....

Partnerships not large syndicates: each horse has six Registered Owners with equal shares. We are all co-owners not distant syndicate members. We’ve joined the RSA to foster greater transparency and involvement for owners..
Responsive trainers: open access to yards for all our owners. Frequent visits and close involvement. Our trainers personally know the owners.
Quality horses: carefully selected by the trainers and their agents. Buying and retaining horses with the potential to progress.
Value for money: keeping all costs to the necessary minimum. Fully transparent. VAT reclaim on behalf of owners. Annual cost summary.
Enjoying the experience: active involvement for all joint owners. Online Owners’ Area. Regular updates on all the horses.

.... and Five Things We’re Determined to Avoid

Expensive racing managers: because we don’t have any, we’re able to reduce the cost by 50%. Owners for Owners is run by owners, for owners.
Indefensible mark-ups: some syndicates will double the purchase price of a horse and add on inflated charges. This is unacceptable.
Poor administration: modern technology makes it much easier to organise partnerships. There is no excuse for lack of information.
Keeping horses for too long: it doesn’t cost any more to train a good horse than a bad one. Realism is necessary. Move on the unsuccessful.
No proper reviews: decisions have to be taken about horses, their performance and their welfare. As co-owners, work closely to make the right ones.
