Becoming An Owner

How Does Ownership Work?

EQUAL SHARES Each syndicate has ten owners each owning an equal 10% share.  Shares are sold at 10% of the horse’s cost price followed by a monthly management fee, starting from £299 per month based on a two year contract. Our syndicates are kept small, manageable, friendly and personal. 

BUYING YOUR HORSE With 56 years of combined horse racing experience Noel and David have a wealth of knowledge and reliable contacts in the bloodstock world.

Also, uniquely having both been jockeys they are able to sit on the horses, assess ability and judge who would be the best trainer for your horse.

CONTRACT As an owner you would receive a contract that gives you assurance there are no hidden charges – every cost is annotated clearly and straight to the point. A dummy contract is available for inspection. 

VISIT YOUR HORSE / STABLE TOUR During the summer months when your horse is ‘at grass’ he/she would be kept at Noel’s yard ‘Hagg Hill Farm’. You are welcome to visit anytime by arrangement.

When your horse is in full training we arrange an early season (Sept/Oct) visit to the trainer. This is an ideal chance to meet your trainer and other owners within the syndicate, see your horse work on the gallops and have some breakfast with Noel, David and any jockeys that are working that morning.

RSA MEMBERSHIP Noel Fehily Racing are members of the ‘Racing Syndicates Association’ which promotes the interests of its members providing additional benefits. The association is recognised by the BHA, ROA and NTF.

COMMUNICATION This is vital and plays a huge part of what we do. You will receive the majority of information about your horse via ‘WhatsApp’ but also by telephone call, as Noel and/or David will speak with you directly before and after each race.

You will receive regular video updates from Noel, David and your trainer. These updates will show your horse training, schooling, feedback from your trainer, entry and declaration news. The day before each race your trainer and jockey will send you a video with regard to their plan and thoughts on the race.

In addition, you will also become a member of the ‘Owners WhatsApp Group’ where you receive general information on the team of thirty four horses, this provides the perfect platform to follow every horse throughout the season.

WELCOME PACK When joining a syndicate as an owner you will receive a ‘Welcome Pack’ in the post. Benefitting from a certificate of ownership, a print of the pedigree, welcome letter, a Noel Fehily Racing Colours ‘Pin Badge’ and a horses in training brochure.

TRAINER & JOCKEY We employ the very best trainers and jockeys thereby giving your horse the highest possible chance of success.

RACE DAY EXPERIENCE On race day you would be hosted by Noel and/or David. They will be available to ensure your day goes smoothly. Most tracks offer some form of complimentary entertainment such as a meal and private owners lounge.

You will get to meet your jockey & trainer in the Parade Ring and then welcome your horse and their jockey back to unsaddling enclosure. Hopefully that would be in the ‘Winners Enclosure’ but come what may you’ll hear the debrief from jockey & trainer.

OWNERS BADGE You will receive an Owners Badge, which will give you access to all owners areas on the racecourse.

OWNERS OPEN DAY We hold an annual ‘Owners Open Day’ at Hagg Hill which the majority of our trainers & jockeys attend. It is a wonderful day where all our horses parade, the trainers will detail some plans for the coming season and you can chat with them in a relaxing environment. And, of course, there is a large supply of drink, food and live music.

SOCIAL EVENTS Throughout the year we hold several social events. These include golf days plus our annual end of season holiday to the Punchestown Festival – which is not to be missed.

PRIZE MONEY / TROPHIES All net prize money is paid pro-rata and transferred to your bank account annually on August 1st, the only fees payable are those annotated within your contract. 

Any trophies are given away via a prize draw. 

FUN AND LAUGHTER Most importantly your ownership experience should be lots of fun – so we make it fun. Sit back and enjoy the ride with us.
