Why choose us?

Owning a racehorse can be a thrilling hobby in everyone’s grasp thanks to racing syndicates and is more accessible and affordable than ever before.

Heart of the South Racing is a family run business operating for over 26 years, so it fair to say our formula to successfully managing racehorse ownership is a winning one.

Our ethos towards ownership has always been about entertainment, honesty and a genuine respect for the horse both during and after racing.

Indeed our reputation and commitment to both our owners and horses is very well established within the industry and a majority of our owners have been with us for many many years and now become firm friends.

Honesty

Our first winner, Captain Coe. Ludlow, 1996

We pride ourselves on our first-class communication and always ensure owners are kept firmly in the picture at all times regarding their horses via emails, texts, calls or post (whichever owners prefer.)

Also have peace of mind that there are no hidden expenses whilst enjoying this hobby. Being founder members of the Racehorse Syndicates Association, we adhere to a code of conduct to ensure our fees are clear and cannot change within your agreement term (no automatic annual increases either.)

Each syndicate horse has its own Weatherbys bank account for full transparency and 100% of the prize money goes to owners – as it should. Find out more about all the other benefits here. 

Entertainment

Owners are always welcome at the stables
Owners are always welcome at the stables

Want to feel like you own your horse outright? Of course you do!

Enjoy unlimited access to the gallops, toast your 2yo’s new racing name with champagne, hear that wonderful sound of your NH prospect schooling over jumps, discuss race plans and jockey bookings with your trainer, get the heart-pounding on a race day meeting your fellow owners in the parade ring and of course (with a bit of luck) celebrate in style in the Winners Enclosure – all regular occurrences for owner’s with HOTSR!

We are also renowned for our lively annual hospitality events and owners BBQ’s too – read more

Horse Comes First

Imperial Ruby is just one of our ex-racers who has succeeded hugely after racing

Another key factor owning a horse with HOTSR is our horse welfare commitment and that the horse comes first, always. After all it is thanks to the beautiful thoroughbred athlete that we get to enjoy the thrill of racing.

Managed by a team who have grown up with horses, animal welfare will always be at the forefront of what we do and consequently over the years we have attracted owners with the same important values.

With friendships and a genuine love for your horse forged, most of our syndicates run for many years but should a horse unfortunately need to be retired due to age, injury or they’re simply not in love with the game, we will always endeavour to work hard to find them the most suitable (not just the quickest) life-long home.

In It To Win!

Owners at Royal Ascot once again!

Enjoying watching your horse’s progression at the stables whilst having the peace of mind over its welfare is vital, but of course we want your horse to perform well where it matters – on the racecourse.

With horses carefully purchased alongside each trainer (with the help of top bloodstock agents) we have thankfully celebrated plenty of success over the years and enjoyed runners at Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood, The Cheltenham Festival, The Hennessy Gold Cup and the Scottish Grand National.

Even at the smaller local meetings, we are renowned for our heartfelt celebrations (which can on occasions include happy tears from owners and grooms alike!)

We promise wherever you go racing, you’ll have a great time and meet like minded people to enjoy the highs and lows of the racing world together.
