SYNDICATES
Be Part of the Action with a Syndicate
Joining a point-to-point syndicate is one of the most affordable and sociable ways to enjoy racehorse ownership. Share the costs, the excitement and the fun with like-minded people, while getting closer to the sport you love.
From yard visits to cheering your horse on raceday, syndicates offer behind-the-scenes access, unforgettable days out and the chance to celebrate success together. It’s racing made social, accessible and exciting.
Racing Clubs
join a racing club for great days out
A racing club is the perfect way to enjoy the thrill of ownership without the commitment. For a simple membership fee you become part of a community that follows one or more horses throughout the season.
Members share the excitement of race days, receive updates from the yard and enjoy special events & social gatherings. It’s an affordable, fun and sociable introduction to the world of point-to-pointing – with all the buzz of ownership and none of the pressure.
ownership
joint or sole ownership puts you right in the centre
Ownership is the ultimate way to experience point-to-point racing. As an owner the decisions are yours, from finding your trainer to buying the horse and designing your own colours.
There’s nothing quite like the pride of seeing your horse in the paddock, lining up at the start, hopefully crossing the finish line in front, all in your name. You’ll be at the heart of the action, with behind-the-scenes access, close involvement in your horse’s training and the chance to celebrate success with friends and family.
If you want the purest, most personal form of pointing, ownership puts you right at the heart of the sport.
