Yearling bay colt by Phoenix of Spain

What you get

At the yard

Year-round open mornings at every trainer's yard, in and out of season

Hospitality

Owner events: an annual private box launch on Lincoln Day at Doncaster, private boxes at meetings and social gatherings around stable visits

Keeping in touch

In season, updates by email or audio message on progress, plans, entries and declarations, with a preview and a review for every run; less often off season

Prize money

Members receive their percentage of owners' prize money; Middleham Park Racing charges 5% commission on gross prize money; usually paid in December

What it costs

Year one, per share

£1,780The upfront covers costs until 28 February 2027; monthly fees start in March 2027. The figure used for comparison still counts a full year of fees.

A year, per share

£1,503For 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

£601The 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.

Share size

2.5%

Insurance

The horse is not insured when a share is bought; members may insure their share, independently or with Middleham Park Racing's help

If the horse's career ends

Aftercare

Owners are expected to stay in a retired horse until a suitable home is found; Middleham Park Racing and its trainers rehome through Retraining of Racehorses contacts
