FOR THE LOVE OF THE RACEHORSE…AND WINNING
JOINING FORCES TO BUY AND TRAIN BETTER HORSES
Most years, we invest in a number of high quality, well conformed foals or yearlings at the leading bloodstock sales in England, Ireland or France. Decisions are made against a well-defined specification in close consultation with our trainers and network of highly regarded agents. We put up the capital and take the financial risk before partnering out the horses with friends and co-owners. Do consider joining forces with us.
COME AND JOIN US: SHARES FOR SALE
We do not run large syndicates. Some of our horses are in sole, joint or quarter-share ownerships, while others have between five and ten owners. Feel free to discuss your requirements with Jon Hughes, who will willingly provide more detailed information on the shares that are currently available.

HORSES IN TRAINING
At any one time we usually have around ten horses in training and a similar number of young stock coming through. Many of our owners like to be with a range of trainers in a variety of locations, and ours are in the West Country, the Cotswolds and the Yorkshire Dales.
ACEY MILAN
Was the top UK bumper horse in 2018, winning two Listed races. Has bags of stamina and is one for marathon chases on heavy ground. Maybe the Welsh Grand National?
DREAMSUNDERMYFEET
An imposing and typically strong Yeats with scope in abundance. Brought along patiently and should make up into a lovely chaser. A hurdle win will be a bonus.
DUKE OF LUCKLEY
Bought in Ireland and looked after in Tipperary by PJ Colville, who used to be Assistant Trainer to Aidan O’Brien. Will start his bumper career later in 2021.
EL CABALLO
A powerful colt who looks an early 2yo. Very well bred, by Havana Gold (by Teofilo, by Galileo) from a Showcasing mare who won 4x and was placed 7x. Exciting.
ENFORCEMENT
Bought to be a Flat horse and led Elarqam into the straight on debut at York. Now a hurdler / chaser. No superstar but a lovely character. Leased to a racing club.
KALIBRATE
A beautifully-bred, proper NH type, by Califet from a Presenting dam line including Lord Noelie. Reminds Martin of his best horse, Champion Court. Will be a chaser.
LUTTRELL LAD
Looked well above average when winning a bumper on his second start. May go for a Champion bumper in the spring. Well bred and an exciting horse to follow.
MELEKHOV
Had a great start, finishing 2114212, but then lost his way with some physical problems. A well-built and enthusiastic type with lots of potential for chasing.
MOZZARO
Very well bred, from an Aga Khan family, and we expected him to be a junior bumper. All he has done since is grow and he is now a big chasing type. Need to be patient.
SARASOTA STAR
A really nimble and athletic jumper who won back-to-bacck hurdle races at Carlisle. Will improve for good ground and could be a smart 2m chaser in time.
SOJOURN
Has needed time and patience, but is now rewarding us in spades. A magnificent staying chaser on heavy ground. Racing Post nicknamed him “the Mud Monster”.
MARES, FOALS & YOUNGSTERS
Our greatest successes have come from buying unraced foals and yearlings and then bringing them along properly and patiently. Giving them time to develop at their own pace. It was inevitable that co-owning mares and breeding from them would become part of the dream. And what a huge pleasure it is.
MAYFAIR ROCK
A very well-bred speed machine, and as tough as teak. We had high hopes for her but, alas, injury triggered retirement. In foal again to Gr.1 winning Havana Grey.
HAVANA GREY YEARLING
Our lockdown lovely! A gorgeous filly foal who has exactly the same personality as her mum: tough and independent. May go to the sales or into training with Karl Burke.
SCENTED LILY
Superbly bred by top broodmare sire Presenting, from the Best Mate family. A winning stayer for Charlie Longsdon. In foal to Getaway. A breeding syndicate led by friends.
SCENTED LILY FOAL
Scented Lily’s first foal is an absolute cracker. Big and sturdy from day one. With his pedigree, could be a Derby Sale horse in a few years’ time.
OUR TRAINERS
We are huge believers in developing long-term relationships with trainers that we admire for their commitment and dedication. Karl Burke, Philip Hobbs, Anthony Honeyball, Martin Keighley and Charlie Longsdon all fit the bill, as do our pre-trainers PJ Colville, Claire Hart and John and Kirsty Weymes.
