Written by the company

Here at Old Gold Racing, we're warm, welcoming… and a little bit mad. We believe that everyone, whether they own a whisker or a tail, deserves to be treated like a sole owner. That’s why you won’t find another syndicate out there that delivers the same in-depth updates, events, deals, and benefits as Old Gold Racing. And that’s why 99% of customer Google reviews are 5*. But, despite all the benefits, the real thrill comes when you cheer a horse that you own, know and follow down the final straight. Trust us, it's like nothing else! For more information, please head to our website or give us a call. #OwnAPieceOfTheAction

Being part of the ownership.

I got the privilege of watching the horse I had a share in from the owners and trainers area. Also get a good look at the horse from the middle of the parade ring.

Feel good factor

The last year i have been going through cancer and slowly all the things I love doing have been taken away from me although hopefully not for good. I was bought a share in a horse to cheer me up and it has. A very professional out fit that sends updates and videos of the horses every week. For not a lot of money is a lovely unique experience

Get involved!

A great syndicate to be a part of. You're in a family of people who love racing as much as you and we all feel like we properly own a racehorse. They have horses with top trainers and a good spread of flat and jumps. Loads of added events and added value too. Totally recommend.

I am relatively new to Old Gold

I am relatively new to Old Gold.
Joined after seeing how enthused my partner has been so that we can enjoy the experience together.
Stable visits, racing days.
It's great to see the OG clan enjoying their days out. And to see the beautiful horses up close.
Cost is reasonable from what I can see.

Horse Racing Syndicate Ownership

Really good for an introduction into the Horse Racing world as a owner (all be it in a very small, affordable way). Visits to stables and racecourses to see your horse in its home environment and at the races and sharing your experiences with other syndicate members.
