Who can be a member?

Anyone 18 years or over. All we ask is that our members understand that this is an inclusive club and we want and encourage diversity in our owners.

What does it cost?

Our shares have different terms and conditions. Please see the details for each horse. The contract starts as soon as your payment is made and the funds have cleared into our account and is for the duration as specified at the point of sale.

Some of our owners, who also can be called members, prefer to purchase part of the horse as an equity share and benefit from the re-sale value. Either way, your monthly fee is inclusive of all training costs.

This is a gift for someone else, what do I do?

When you complete your purchase at the checkout complete the boxes that indicate this is a gift for someone else. They will own the lease/share, receive any prize money and receive all invites to race days and events. Please make sure you add the email address of the person you are giving the gift to.

What happens to prize money?

It is important to remember that although all races run in the U.K. have prize money available (bar one run at Newmarket racecourse called the “Wood Ditton”), we recommend you treat your share as months of entertainment and fun rather than as an opportunity to make money.

Racehorses are unpredictable and sometimes fragile creatures and we cannot guarantee that our horses will perform sufficiently well enough to win races or to even make a racecourse appearance. However, our trainer will do their best to bring you fun and enjoyment.

The fees you pay Let’s Get Racing cover the training costs fees only, all costs provided to us by the trainers of our horses and includes your subscription to The Racing Manager (*if this applies to your horse). These are covered at cost.

Before any prize money owed can be calculated all racing and race-day costs must be met. These include but are not limited to:

• Transportation & stable lad costs
• Jockey riding fee
• Travelling Staff
• Trainer prize money deductions
• Jockey prize money deductions
• Medical treatment charges / farrier
• Racing equipment (Horse and jockey)
• Administrative charges
• Racing silks
• Transport
• Entry fees
• Registration fees
• Administrative fees
• Jockey fees
• All Weatherby’s deductions

If the prize money earned through a year is less than the total of the racing and race day costs through the year, no prize money will payable. As such, you should consider the main benefit of your share ownership to be participation and involvement. Any prize money is an unexpected bonus!

Let’s Get Racing keep a running tally of prize money and costs on a race by race basis. We pay any money owing to you once a year. Each October we will update you of the distributable prize money due and make payments in November. If you default on your monthly payments at any point or you fail to complete your full year of ownership, you forfeit any prize money owing to you.

Coco Starlight – Once the trainer, jockey and yard staff have received their prize money, 10% of what is left will be donated to The Brain Tumour Charity.

What happens to the horse after racing?

When we buy fillies, we race them for 2 or 3 years and then, we hope, they become broodmares producing the next winners for Let’s Get Racing. When we have geldings or colts in the Let’s Get Racing Club, we endeavour to re-train and re-home them. This means our horses can enjoy second careers and long and happy lives after racing. As part of this commitment, a percentage of your fees are donated to organisations connected to the retraining of racehorses. Typically, we sponsor Yorkshire Racehorse Retraining and Rehoming but this can change at the discretion of the Let’s Get Racing team.
