About
Clarendon Thoroughbred Racing
Since the start of Clarendon Thoroughbred Racing which was set up nearly 30 years ago there have been many great highlights. From our first winners MEDELAI, FEARBY CROSS, and HARTLEY to our most recent success COVERDALE, MICKLEY & KIRKDALE.
Clarendon Thoroughbred Racing is a small fun syndicate with a huge amount of passion and success. As a family run syndicate, we pride ourselves on delivering a warm, enjoyable and successful time for all of our syndicate members. We host Clarendon Open mornings for our members which is fantastic time to come to the yard to see new and familiar faces within the syndicate, our mornings consist of light delicious refreshments upon arrival which can be relished while watching all of the horses within the syndicate parade while Ed talks about each horse and how they have been and are training along with future plans. The parade is then followed by watching the horses training on the gallops and then seeing them back on the yard as well as seeing other horses on the yard in their stable.
The syndicate have had many significant horses including, the most recent success which has come from the likes of FEARBY, COVERDALE & MICKLEY, not only did these horses perform during their time in the syndicate but have since been sold to Hong Kong (Fearby in 2021, Coverdale 2023 & Mickley 2024). FEARBY won listed races as a two-year-old, we have his half-brother who is in the syndicate now (Arkleside). MICKLEY won twice in 2024 for his syndicate members before being sold to his new owner and won at Royal Ascot before heading out to warmer climates in Hong Kong. In the early years if the syndicate having been set up there were the likes of Bradbury who finished fourth in the Grade 1 Matatlan Hurdle at the Aintree Grand National meeting, and another being PENHILL who ran in some of the most competitive three-year-old handicaps in 2014, then went on to sell at Newmarket for 230,000GNS and went onto to win at the Gold Cup Festival at Cheltenham, having cost only 24,000GNS as a yearling.
The Concept
- Invest in a 10% share of a flat racing horse that will be racing at racecourses over the forthcoming two years
- A one off all-inclusive payment covering all aspects of both purchasing and training expenses at the start of the year
- An opportunity to invest in a proven winning formula at the highest level from having listed winners to a Royal Ascot winner
- Come to see your horse train at the yard on our Open Mornings or a time that is convenient to you
The Benefits
- All the perks of fully fledged ownership but at a fraction of the expense
- Owners benefit from complimentary “Owners” badges, parking, hospitality and use of owners facilities at racecourses when your horse runs
- Visits to the stables and gallops by arrangement to see your horse and benefit from one-on-one time with Edward as well as our Open Mornings for the syndicate
- Rebates following the profitable sale of horses and the winning of prize funds which reduce the overall cost
