How Much Does It Cost to Join Always Trying Racing Syndicate?

We believe racehorse ownership should be affordable and accessible to everyone.

Memberships currently start from just £75 per year, giving you the opportunity to experience the excitement of racehorse ownership at a fraction of the cost of owning a horse outright.

We also offer larger ownership shares in selected horses for members looking for greater involvement.

Our current horses and membership options can be viewed on our Meet Our Horses page.


Can Anyone Join Always Trying Racing Syndicate?

Absolutely.

You don't need any previous experience of horse racing or racehorse ownership to become a member.

Many of our members joined with little or no knowledge of the sport. We provide regular updates, explain everything clearly and make sure every member feels part of the team from day one.

Whether you're completely new to racing or a lifelong fan, you'll receive a warm welcome.


Do I Own Part of the Horse?

Yes, depending on the membership or ownership package you choose.

Some of our horses are offered through affordable annual memberships, while others provide larger ownership shares with a greater level of involvement.

Full details are clearly shown on each horse's page before you join, so you'll always know exactly what your membership includes.

Yes.

When your horse runs, members have the opportunity to apply for owners' and trainers' badges, subject to the racecourse allocation.

Even when badges are limited, many members enjoy meeting at the races to support the horses together.


What Happens If My Horse Wins?

If your horse wins, every member shares in the excitement of celebrating together.

Depending on your membership, you may also receive your share of any prize money, while everyone enjoys following the horse's progress throughout its racing career.

For many members, standing in the winner's enclosure alongside the trainer, jockey and fellow owners is an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of racehorse ownership.

Where applicable, members receive their share of prize money in accordance with the terms of their membership.
