About Us

RaceShare has been formed by a group of racing and bloodstock professionals who have a shared belief in the excitement and fun being a racehorse owner can deliver. The founders aim to grow a racing and breeding legacy which will ultimately help support the sport of horse racing through creating an engaging and affordable racehorse ownership experience.


RaceShare aims to offer a unique experience to not just existing horse racing enthusiasts, but anybody who wants to see what the sport is all about. We want to bring new fans into racing and believe what we offer can do this.

The Investors

The Investors
RaceShare

RaceShare’s investors are a small group of racing and bloodstock professionals, who share a belief in the passion and enjoyment that being a racehorse owner can generate.

They recruited Lucy Delaney to help bring their vision to life. One of the investors is Patrick Veitch, a much respected figure in the racing and betting industry, as well as author of the best-selling book Enemy Number One. Patrick has an outstanding record for identifying under-valued bloodstock including his purchasing of Manuela De Vega, Antonia De Vega and Feliciana De Vega at the 2017 yearling sales - all multiple winners at Group and Listed level. Patrick has agreed to assist in the purchasing of our Flat horses which we hope will give us an edge.

Our Silks

Creating RaceShare’s silks was an exciting process. We wanted to design a set that was timeless and elegant, but also easy to spot in a race.

All racing silks must be approved and registered with the British Horseracing Authority, and usually conform to narrow criteria. We opted to design our own, more unusual set of silks, which the BHA approved.

Every detail was considered. The interlocking gold braiding is unique to our syndicate. With our designers, we carefully considered different shades of gold, different fabrics, various types of gold thread for the braiding, and style of buttons. For instance, we chose the buttons used on the Royal silks, which have a cross-textured pattern.
