Old Gold Racing

Old Gold Racing: racehorse ownership syndicate in the United Kingdom

Old Gold Racing is a British racehorse ownership syndicate that sells shares in racehorses. The company's proposition is for enthusiasts to buy a share in a horse and receive an owner's welcome pack, plus access to regular updates, events and members-only benefits. The site states that shares are offered from £60 and that the experience is delivered to a five-star standard.

Ownership model and purchase process

The process described by the company begins with choosing a horse from its stable catalogue. Once selected, the buyer chooses the welcome pack and formalises their ownership status. The shipment includes a certificate of ownership, a photograph of the horse and an owner's handbook, among other items. The company also offers the purchase as a gift: if bought for someone else, the welcome pack is personalised with the recipient's name.

The syndicate also offers a free entry route through the Old Gold Racing Club. Signing up to the club, linked to a share in the club horse, Henry Box Brown, allows you to create an account and access offers and benefits. The company presents this option as a way to learn how the syndicate works before buying a paid share.

Owner benefits

According to the information published, members receive weekly updates about their horses, including communications when the horse is entered or declared for a race and post-race emails. The company also organises stable visits, racecourse events and Zoom sessions. Among the benefits cited are discounted raceday tickets, the chance to obtain owner's badges and access to owners-only benefits. The site also mentions the possibility of winning prize money and expanding the stable with new shares.

Horses, trainers and community

Old Gold Racing states that its horses are trained by some of the best trainers in the British Isles and that the stable includes a variety of trainers. The company reports a 20% win strike rate in the 2024/25 National Hunt season and a community of more than 25,000 racehorse owners. ITV Racing presenter Francesca Cumani is an Old Gold Racing ambassador. The site also mentions its own content, such as the Content Hub, with articles and videos produced by its team of creators.

Customer reviews

The company claims that 99% of customer reviews give it five stars and that it is the highest-rated racing syndicate in the world on Trustpilot, with a score of 4.9 stars. The testimonials on the site highlight the regular communication through weekly emails, the service received from the team, the organisation of stable visits and racecourse events, and the opportunity to take part in the sport at low cost. Several customers mention that buying a share with a one-off payment avoids unexpected additional costs during the relevant period.
