I cannot recommend Hambleton Racing highly enough! Since joining my first syndicate in April 2022, I’ve been involved with 10 horses and couldn’t be happier with the experience. There have been some fantastic days out watching our horses run, along with brilliant syndicate events, including naming days, stable visits, Christmas celebrations and annual get-togethers. The Hambleton team are knowledgeable, welcoming, helpful and always accommodating. They make being part of a syndicate a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience. Whether you’re an experienced racing enthusiast or someone thinking about getting involved for the first time, I would wholeheartedly recommend Hambleton Racing. They offer a brilliant way to experience the excitement of racehorse ownership, both on and off the track. Thank you to the whole team for everything so far. Here’s to many more great days at the races and plenty more memories to come! 🏇

Some years ago a very good friend persuaded me to become a member of a syndicate run by Hambleton Racing. I can take little credit for embarking on this venture, as he had done some extensive research into a number of different syndicates and had decided that Hambleton seemed the best. So for a number of years my friend had enjoyed all that Hambleton Racing has to offer; I can only thank him for his advice, because it has led to me enjoying the same incredible experiences. It is a dream and a privilege to be a racehorse 'owner' and Hambleton make that possible. It is something that my wife and I can enjoy together and we both have been made to feel that we are part of the Hambleton 'family'. At the head of the 'family' are the Hambleton staff, who are, without exception, brilliant. They are knowledgeable, reliable, trustworthy and so friendly. They 'put their arms around you' when you have disappointments and celebrate with you when you have success. They will do anything in their power to help you to enjoy the experience. Other aspects that foster the feeling of being part of a family are that the syndicates are small in number so you quickly get to know everyone in your syndicate. Strangers have become friends. The trainers under the Hambleton umbrella are themselves approachable and treat you with the same respect that they would far wealthier clients. Staff at the stables welcome you like old friends. Stable visits to see your horse are encouraged and there are passes for two people for every race meeting that your horse is declared for. Social events take place across the whole season as well as Trainer Open Days. Being a member of a Hambleton Racing Syndicate is a truly fantastic experience and one that I never dreamt that I would have but am delighted to have had the chance to experience first hand. Hambleton Racing make every effort to make your dreams come true. I would recommend them to anyone.

Been with Hambleton for several years. So glad they were the choice for my first venture into racehorse ownership. From day one, the fantastic team has demonstrated an exceptional level of personal service and from speaking to lots of other owners, their experiences are the same. Hambleton make you feel like the owner. They will arrange stable visits whenever you wish, allowing you to watch your horse on the gallops and speak with the trainer and the stable staff. Countless socials are arranged throughout the year, including naming days, which are always a highlight; however, nothing beats watching your horse at the racecourse, where Hambleton provide two Owners badges every time your horse runs. The syndicates are small, which makes it very easy to get to know other syndicate members and you are kept informed and updated on your horses progress every step of your ownership journey. Reassuringly, Hambleton will always do what’s best for the syndicate and more importantly what’s best for your horse. Can’t recommend Hambleton enough.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my experiences with the Two Horses I have/had Shares in. As an Owner, I think we are treated very well by the Team at Hambleton. Always Friendly and Welcoming. Stable Visits and Corporate Days Provided by Hambleton are always most enjoyable

I really didn’t know what to expect 2 years ago when I bought my first share in a horse but wow what an experience! It was more than just an investment for me as I’ve loved horse racing since I was young but it’s turned in to so much more than I expected. I chose a stable close to where I live so I can take my children up to the stables to visit our horses and all the other Hambleton Horses too which we love. Everyone there is so welcoming and let us watch the horses on the gallops and get cleaned and groomed. Another highlight is the social events that are put on by Hambleton from the naming day, to owners days, Christmas party’s and free race days with food always supplied. I love that the horses are so well looked after and given the best food and vet care and amazing training facilities to help the horses grow and thrive. I currently have shares in 2 horses and would love more. There’s lots of highs on race days and nerves in the buildup making it an all around great day out too. I couldn’t rate Hambleton higher. Thank you for the last 2 years.

I have had horses with Hambleton for a number of years now and the experience has been positive on all fronts. Obviously success on the course cannot be guaranteed and I have experienced the full range of emotions from disappointment to total jubilation. Advice on purchase is provided comprehensively but the choice is yours. My most successful purchase led to the horse running at a group 1 at York, the Nunthorpe, and at glorious Goodwood, as well as Ireland and Chantilly successfully and at Dubai, and ending up as a group three winner. This far surpassed my realistic expectation for a relatively modest investment . In addition to the on course activity the syndicates are well managed, communication is excellent, provision of owners badges has never been an issue, neither has stable visits whenever requested. The X factor for me is the friendliness of all the management team and that of my fellow syndicate members who rapidly become friends. I have been in other syndicates previously but would recommend Hambleton in preference to others.

Hambleton Racing provide an excellent opportunity, keeping shares to a size which are affordable, while still allowing you to feel like you actually own a racehorse. The communication, support and friendly manner of all within Hambleton should not be underestimated, with owners being kept informed about your horse's training, progress and future race plans. Naming days, stable visits and other owners events, including a Christmas party, all add to this wonderful experience. Mark.

After researching several syndicates for my first foray into racehorse ownership, I chose Hambleton Racing. I was delighted with their initial engagement and clear, timely communication. The brochure sent was very impressive and clearly explained what being an owner in a Racing syndicate entailed. The team at Hambleton and in particular Davina and Cosmo, have made my wife and I feel really welcome and they are always on hand to answer questions. It was great to meet the other syndicate members at the naming event hosted by Hambleton, which was really enjoyable. The care and attention shown to all the horses by our Trainer's stable team is fabulous and the regular updates on how our horse is progressing and plans for future races is eagerly looked forward to. Being a one twelfth owner in a 2 year old racehorse has exceeded my expectations. The excitement of being at the racecourse cheering our horse on and seeing him pick up his first win was fantastic! I cannot recommend Hambleton Racing highly enough.

After following horse racing for nearly 50 years with my dad, I thought this year was the time to experience “ownership”. I was after a syndicate as opposed to a racing club, where the ownership was meaningful (each owner in the syndicate has the same twelfth share) as opposed to one of a few hundred. I researched several syndicates, but had the best “feeling” about Hambleton when I received their glossy brochure and had a follow up call with them. All my questions were answered. Hambleton guarantee two owners badges per share owner for the raceday, which is v rare. No ballots required! I also appreciate that horse insurance is included in the fees, again rare compared to most other syndicates where it is left to yourself to sort out insurance. I’ve found the racing team at Hambleton to be very professional, and very approachable, friendly and informative; many thanks to Cosmo, Davina and the team. I started this year purchasing a share in one two year old with Archie Watson for my dad’s 80th birthday present. We enjoyed the experience so much (naming day, gallops, meeting other owners, regular updates on the horse as well as news on other Hambleton horses, and of course the racing itself) that i ended up getting two more two year olds this year, another with Archie, and another with Tom Clover. Even better, the first horse won a couple of weeks ago, a week after my dad’s 80th, excellent, such a buzz for both of us! Highly recommend Hambleton Racing if you are after a very professional and friendly set up, where you are made to feel like an owner and not merely a club member.

I joined Hambleton Racing in 2022 for the experience of co owning a racehorse. A boyhood dream of mine. With many to choose from, I researched the various syndicates in how they operate and came to the conclusion Hambletons were the best choice. How right I was, they have not disappointed A small hard working staff create a warm and welcoming environment at their social gatherings and race days Communication from the start of owning a horse is first class, giving you regular updates on how your horse is fairing right through your ownership. It’s an experience I have thoroughly enjoyed mainly due to the Hambleton team and if you are looking to join a syndicate. Look no further.

We became co-owners of our first horse with Hambleton Racing in 2022 and are now into our fourth. It has been really good fun as all of the Hambleton team have provided us with excellent service and great experiences. In addition, being part of a syndicate means that there is always a friendly face to share the thrills with. Hambleton Racing is almost like being part of a big family and has given us many happy memories.

All racing syndicates are different but Hambleton is one of the best. Owning horses can have tremendous ups and also some downs but the fabulous team make the overall experience positive - they do a great job at making owning and enjoying horse racing easy. Not only can you see behind the scenes, meet your horse and trainer, get regular updates and go to the races you also have Hambleton days at the beginning of the season and at Christmas where you get to meet the broad range of owners swap stories and make new friends. If interested in racing Hambleton are definitely a syndicate you should consider joining - I am glad I did🙂.

First time syndicate member and having taken time to assess a number of options we decided to try Hambleton racing. The team are welcoming and professional, the process of joining a syndicate is made easier with clear terms and conditions. The experience so far has been excellent, from stable visits to naming days, track days and if course Xmas dinner. Plenty of social interaction and the syndicate members are all fantastic . It is so good that we just signed up for our second horse syndicate with Hambleton Thank you for creating a fun and enjoyable experience Colin

When I first started looking at owning a share in a racehorse I looked at various syndicates and sent off some emails to get some more information and the service I received from Hambleton was first class compared to other syndicates in fact I did not even hear back from some syndicates. I have now been an owner with hambleton for 8 years now and have no regrets about joining this syndicate and have had many horses with them in that time with the monthly cost being very reasonable for the services they provide. They have a small team who run the syndicates who keep you informed by phone before your horse runs and to arrange owners badges giving it a personal touch as well as being backed up by emails you can phone them at any time if you have any questions and you can also have visits to the stables at any time and not just wait for only a yearly visits as some other syndicates. They olso organise social events throughout the year such as the Owners Day at Doncaster at the start of the flat season and the christmas lunch at the end of the season as well as other visits at no extra cost. I would thoroughly recommend this syndicate to anyone the staff team and fellow like minded owners have all become very good friends and if you join I do beleive you will not be disappointed and you will have a great experience.

Have been with Hambleton Racing for around four years and have always found the team to be professional, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about the horses. We have had some great days racing with Hambleton and met some lovely people within our syndicate. If you love horseracing then Hambleton Racing gives you the opportunity to really get involved and there is no better feeling than seeing your horse run (and win) live at the racetrack. Hambleton Racing are very good at organising your trips to the races as owners and you get really well looked after. I would highly recommend them if you are interested in horseracing with the dream of becoming an owner for a relatively modest investment.

My wife kindly gifted me a racehorse share, we were both new to having a share in a racehorse but the experience with Hambleton has far exceeded our expectations. Initially we were supported on our choice of which horse to have a share in with very knowledgeable advice from Cosmo, who didn't give us the hard sell, he simply enthused about the potential of the horses that Hambleton had available. The process to obtain the share was very straightforward, with no hidden charges or extras to pay. Since then my wife and I have enjoyed lots of social events at no cost to us, and we keep in touch with the other syndicate members via a social media group, they really are a great bunch. Of course the horse is the star, my wife and I have had regular visits to the training yard to spend time with the horse, watch him exercise on the gallops with plenty free time at the stables after he is washed off from exercising. Helen and Maya always support by coming along with us at the stable visits which is greatly appreciated. Helen has also attended each time our horse has ran at the racecourse, answering any questions or queries, making sure that the day is as enjoyable as possible. The whole experience with Hambleton and their friendly team has been fantastic and I would fully recommend them if you are thinking of getting involved in this great sport!
