About us
We have a passion for horses and people, offering racing enthusiasts a welcoming route into the ownership world. Specialising in both flat & NH syndicates and sole ownership management, we make top-class racing available to everyone, from complete newcomers to lifelong fans.
Our Owners enjoy runners at the likes of Royal Ascot and The Cheltenham Festival, to Monday afternoons at Plumpton – there is something for everyone each with its own unique buzz.
We’re proud to offer racehorse shares for sale in the South East, Sussex and beyond offering a unique, supportive ownership experience.
Our Philosophy
As one of the UK’s most long standing syndicate groups, we believe our formula to managing syndicates is a winning one.
Racehorse ownership should be exciting, but also transparent at every turn. We offer full insight from your horse’s training progress and race plans, to quarterly accounts statements and VAT returns. All delivered from a friendly team that’s grown up around horses and always ready to help (and celebrate!) with you.
And when their racing days are over, our Racehorse Retirement Promise means a horse will enjoy a well-deserved retirement after racing. You’ll have peace of mind at every stage of your ownership.
About the RSA
Heart of the South Racing is a founder member of the Racing Syndicates Association (RSA). They ensure all members adhere to a strict code of conduct, safeguarding owners’ interests and ensuring fair terms and conditions at all times.
Testimonials
Neil Trigwell
Owner in Kotari & Femme Fatale
We have been with Heart Of The South for over 4 years now and have loved every minute of it. Eloise and Sam are always there to discuss your horse with you and always make you very welcome when visiting the stables. You really feel that the horse is yours! The social side is fantastic especially on race days, and even better when getting in the Winners Enclosure. We currently have 2 horses and now looking at a 3rd one, we feel that confident on their honest and upfront approach to running syndicates.
Paul & Tracey Fleming
Owners in many horses over the years
We have been Owners with Heart of the South for a very long time and have enjoyed every minute! The whole team are so enthusiastic and welcoming and we love how you can see how much the horses mean to them. The attention to detail from Heart of the South is, as always, brilliant. We feel part of the family!
Mike North
Owner in Spirit D’Aunou
Thank you both for such a brilliant day at Cheltenham, both for the guidance over many months leading to it and the day itself. It still feels a bit like a Dream – but did it really happen to us – and it was not going to happen to me without Heart of the South. Thank you for all the photos to recall yesterday, which have brought a lump to my throat – I still feel on a high!
Carol Brinson
Owner in Kotari & Court In The Act
I joined HOTSR over 10 years ago and have met so many new people! I have learnt so much about this wonderful sport and owning racehorses, and the benefit of being an Owner at the meetings is so enjoyable. HOTSR look after us and the horses so well and are a joy to be a part of.
Mary Miller
Owner in Lover Desbois
We want to say a huge thank you for all of your hard work and it is a real pleasure to be a part of Heart of the South Racing. Your virtues are too many to list but the very real affection and care for your/our horses for me is one of the most heart-warming things about Heart of the South Racing – Keep up the excellent work!
Ian Sadler
Owner in Kotari
Just a quick note to say thanks for the fantastic day at Sandown for your Owner Event. Clearly a lot of hard work goes into making something like that go so smoothly so well done to all of you at Heart of the South. We both had a really great day there and even the weather relented for us to enjoy the day.
Chris Brotherton
Owner in many horses with us
I would like though to put down in writing that I am very grateful and appreciative of you acquiring both Alpha Crucis and Spirit d’Aunou. They are both lovely horses, have given us so much fun and happy, successful times already and have both exceeded our expectations. The amount of winning and good times has been exceptional and I wanted to thank you as it can be often taken for granted!
Mark Anderson
Owner in Femme Fatale
Just a quick note to say well done on sourcing the perfect home for Reckon I’m Hot. You have both made the right decisions for him throughout his racing journey and again you are making the right decision now. We keep coming back to HOTSR as your first priority is consistently horse welfare, but his win at Bath will always be a fond memory of mine!
Shelley Bennett
Over 20 winners with HOTSR!
From the minute I made my first phone call I have never looked back! I really appreciate they try and race the horses at local tracks, and even when it’s further afield I am given enough notice to book into a B&B. The team behind Heart of the South are always welcoming and it’s a pleasure to be with as part of this “family.” I always have a fantastic day out when at the races with my horses win or lose. Experiencing my first win was the best day of my life!
