The real thrill of thoroughbred syndicate racing
Imagine the excitement of being in the owners’ enclosure, seeing your horse win – or the thrill of watching your horse race on TV. With a share in a horse with TopSpeed Thoroughbreds, you enjoy horse racing at fraction of the cost of individual ownership, with no hidden extras. It’s the perfect way to enter the exhilarating world of horse racing.
OUR SYNDICATE
Celebrate the horse’s naming day with a Champagne toast at the stables, meet other owners and pose for a photograph with the horse. Who knows – it could be your name that wins the naming vote.
Of course, owning a share in a racehorse is not all about the results – but it’s nice when it happens.
Enjoy free entrance to the racecourse when your horse is running, be there in the owners’ enclosure, relax in the owners’ and trainers’ bar and restaurant. And maybe even celebrate in the winners’ enclosure.
A share certificate, photograph and the racing goodies of your choice, presented in a premium gift box.
FINDING OUT
We’re nestled in the picturesque Cheshire countryside – perfect for a visit to see your horse on the gallops or meet your horse at the Peel Hall Stud stables and catch up with an update from the trainer.
Topspeed Thoroughbreds was set up by Will Kinsey and Tom Green. Will has years of experience in bloodstock and horse breeding, and Tom has been a racing fanatic for many years, and understands exactly what experience racehorse syndicate members are looking for when they share the ownership of a horse.
Together we’re committed to provide a personal and rewarding experience for our syndicate members.
Will Kinsey and Tom Green set up TopSpeed Thoroughbreds as a way of opening up the sport that they both love to more people, so they too can enjoy the thrill of owning a racehorse.
