Patrick Veitch Bio
RaceShare’s buying team is headed by Patrick Veitch, well known to many as one of the UK’s most successful professional gamblers. In his autobiography, Enemy Number One, he discussed his approach to betting and detailed winning an eight-figure sum from the bookmakers.
In recent times, he has used the skills and algorithms developed over the years to move into the bloodstock market, in which he has quickly established a big reputation.
In 2017 he invested heavily in the stallion Lope De Vega and his progeny, being very confident that the sire’s fortunes would soar. The reputation of Lope De Vega has risen considerably since then, and he is now firmly established as one of Europe’s elite sires.
Patrick was one of the original investors when RaceShare was founded in 2022, and he initially agreed to source horses at the October Sales. The four horses bought for RaceShare were Scampi, who won at the Dante meeting as well as at the Shergar Cup, and Treasure Time, an impressive winner at the 2024 Ebor Festival who looks to be going places, along with La Pulga and Red Mirage, who have won four times between them to date.
Following these superb results, Patrick has agreed to lead the buying team until at least 2030. We are confident that this gives RaceShare a considerable edge at the purchasing stage and are delighted to have this long-term commitment. His skills and dedication to research will ensure that no stone is left unturned in trying to find the best possible horses for RaceShare.
