What it costs

Year one, per share

£10,810The upfront covers costs until 30 November 2026; monthly fees start in December 2026. The figure used for comparison still counts a full year of fees. These figures include VAT at 20% on the share price, which the operator states before VAT. They do not say it is reclaimed for members, so we count what a member pays.

A year, per share

£5,520For comparison. The upfront buys a share that lasts beyond year one, so it is spread over an assumed three-year racing life.

Per 1% of the horse

£552The figure that makes offers comparable. A £54 share and a £5,000 share are not alike until you divide by how much of the horse each one buys.
