Race Ahead

We put together racing syndicates, giving small groups of individuals the opportunity to share ownership in a racehorse.

We offer a personal and professional service to our owners, offering a maximum of 10 shares (10%) for each of our horses, enabling each owner the opportunity to see their horse race at the track.

We offer a maximum of 10 shares per horse, with 10% shares available. With the majority of racecourses offering 10 owners badges for syndicates, this means it is very likely you will be guaranteed an owners badge for each time your horse runs.

Micheál Orlandi buys and selects all of the Horizon Thoroughbred horses alongside the relevant trainers, with whom the horse is going in training with and with the assistance of a vet.

This differs from syndicate to syndicate but at the moment ranges from £2,000 to £3,500 for a 10% share.

The price of a share covers all routine expenses including the purchasing and training of the horse.

Get in touch with us on email via office@horizonthoroughbreds.com or give us a call on +44 (0)7802 608038. We can inform you of any current opportunities we have available, or put you on a waiting list for when we will be creating a new syndicates in November following our yearling purchases.

We take a very small management fee charged on each syndicate. This can vary from syndicate to syndicate. The company also takes 5% of the sales price of any horse selling for more than its purchase price.

Absolutely not. Any deficit is borne by Horizon Thoroughbreds and not the shareowner.

At present, Horizon Thoroughbreds employs Dave Loughnane and John & Sean Quinn as its trainers.

Yes. At any time that suits them and this is organised through the Horizon Thoroughbreds Office.  In addition, Horizon Thoroughbreds organises regular stable visits which are followed by complimentary lunches.

Owners are kept fully informed as to the progress and running plans of their bloodstock.  This is done through personal communication via WhatsApp, email and telephone.

Once the shareowner has confirmed their attendance with Horizon Thoroughbreds, we will organise for owners’ badges to be collected from the owners’ entrance.  Owners have access to the paddock before the race as well as access to the Owners’ and Trainers’ Car Park and facilities on course.

Most of Horizon Thoroughbreds horses are sold by the end of their three-year-old careers. However,  some may be sold after their two-year-old campaign if it is of financial benefit to the shareowners. Some are kept to race at four, provided is it thought that they can increase their capital values and it is economical for them to be kept in training.

Once the horse is sold, the syndicate is wound up and the accounts reviewed by the  auditors. Any surplus of income over expenditure is distributed accordingly to the shareowners.
