ABOUT US

Nothing quite matches the thrill of owning a racehorse but not many can afford to own a racehorse outright.

Syndicates provide opportunities for like minded racing fans to get involved in ownership on a level that suits each individual.

Nothing quite matches the thrill of owning a racehorse but not many can afford to own a racehorse outright. Syndicates provide opportunities for like minded racing fans to get involved in ownership on a level that suits each individual.

We believe that horse racing ownership should be affordable and that owners should be kept up to date with regular communication about all news related to their horse, be that how the horse is working, how close they are to running, what courses and races are under consideration, what the expectations of horse are when it runs and how the race is likely to play out and of course how each horse comes out of their race.

MEET THE TEAM

RACING MANAGER

LAURENCE SQUIRE 

Laurence has been involved in the racing industry for over 30 years and has built up a huge number of important contacts during that time in many key areas of horse racing including training, riding, ownership and bloodstock.

Laurence is a talented photographer and videographer who makes regular yard visits to document the progress of our horses. This helps owners feel as though they are on the gallops each morning, even when they are unable to visit the yard.

RACING MANAGER

SAM DARBY 

Sam has worked in betting and horse racing for the past 20 years and during that time he has honed his skills as a real flat racing expert. This is a very useful skill when it comes to planning the best campaigns and races for our flat string.

On top of communicating with our owners, one of Sam’s key roles is to provide detailed previews of all races our flat horses are involved in. This is not just limited to how likely we think our horse is to win, but also how strong the opposition is, how each race is expected to develop, the likelihood of conditions suiting and how the course characteristics may or may not bring about the best in our horses.

ADVISOR

TONY STAFFORD 

Tony is perhaps best known for his time spent as the Racing Editor of the Daily Telegraph and he was also the Racing Manager for leading owner Raymond Tooth for a number of years.

As part of his current role as editor of ‘Trainers Quotes’ and ‘FromTheStables’, Tony speaks to over 20 trainers on a daily basis and has the inside scoop at a number of yards which can be a huge advantage for our purchasing and also race planning.

FIND OUT ABOUT OUR TRAINERS

That’s enough about us, it’s our trainers who are the real stars of the show!

Our trainers are handpicked for each horse we buy. Every horse is different and we choose the trainer most likely to get the best returns from each of our runners.

As we grow, so will our training team, offering more options across the country to ensure there is a trainer not too far from your current location.

OUR SILKS

our belief is that communication is crucial. we aim to give our owners the best possible experience backed up by regular updates.

You’ll never be left in the dark when you are part of our syndicates. Alongside the usual trainer reports and videos of the horse’s work, we’ll provide news about how your horse will be campaigned in the coming months and what racecourses and meetings we are targeting and. There are also detailed race previews from professional race readers before each run and full debriefs about how the horse comes out of each race.
