Hospitality

An invitation to a day at the races each year in a private facility with Patrick Veitch; lunch after stable visits; a team member on course each time one of their horses runs

Keeping in touch

Updates by email, Telegram, social media and their website, an owners' portal and app, and a video call with the trainer every couple of months during the season

Prize money

Owners receive a pro rata share of net prize money after race-day expenses such as entry fees, trainer fees and jockey fees; prize money won by 31 October is paid into the owner's account on 30 November

What it costs

Year one, per share

£1,821The monthly fee is expected to start in December 2026. The figure used for comparison still counts a full year of fees.

A year, per share

£1,165For comparison. The upfront buys a share that lasts beyond year one, so it is spread over an assumed three-year racing life.

Share size

1% each, 1 of 100 shares

Insurance

The horses are not insured (no mortality insurance); insurance may be put to an owners' vote if a horse becomes highly valuable

Read the operator's full written terms — we compare what is in them, but the document is theirs and you should read it.

If the horse's career ends

Aftercare

Part of each share's price goes to the horse's post-racing pension fund; Santorini Thoroughbreds decides whether to retire, sell or re-home, and a horse thought to have no value is transferred to a rehabilitation centre or new owner; it supports Retraining of Racehorses with a guaranteed £5,000 a year
