Thanks everyone.
I’ve only really been into racing for 6 years or so and our annual Cheltenham trip involves a well trodden path from the bar to the stand... repeat 7 times.
By having a runner, I paid more attention to the preliminaries and the parade ring. And it certainly added to the Cheltenham experience.

It still hasn’t actually sunk in that I am now an owner (albeit a very small one) of Grade One winner at the Cheltenham Festival.

For those (like me) without the funds for owning a horse outright, this is an excellent way to get more from racing.

PS. I don’t work for Owners Group!
PPS. Of the 30 plus horses, not all will go on to achieve anything like Pentland has and I believe that I’ve been very fortunate.... BUT with the likes of Getaway Trump, Miranda & Pentland Hills, there are sure to be other good prospects up for grabs in the coming months
 
Poor Pentland Hills given 153 after his Triumph win- Klassical Dream 157 for reference, and with the 8pds that suggests PHs would beat KD......madness!

Fakir went into the Supreme with the 8pds making him look like the likeliest winner, and notable was "dwarfed" by the opposition according to a review i read.....

The handicapper is almighty unfair on these Juveniles.

Isty suggested I listed mine so I'll use this rather than start a new thread.

Poly Rock - my first horse with Supreme, coincidentally bought 4 years ago almost to the day. Over 3 years before we got a run due to a long list of minor injuries that started with a stress fracture the weekend before he was due to run in the Land Rover bumper at Punchestown. Willie has always said he's decent and he even an entry in the Royal Bond.

Cadmium - bought on the same day as Airlie Beach so I've had worse days. Hopefully goes for the Drinmore.

Bunk Off Early - injured when falling in May. In light training and looking at a spring hurdling campaign.

Robin De Carlow - come on a bundle recently. Wants decent ground and possible targets in about 3 weeks.

Dramalarma Lucy - leased. Picked up an injury but should be back in the spring.

Eileen O - leased. Wants winter ground but well thought of.

Shanning - come up against hot pots in 3 handicaps that have seen her go up to 136 from 128 in defeat. More to come hopefully.

Kemboy - still improving.

Chambord Du Lys - disappointing since returning from injury.

Get Over It - leased. Looking forward to her first appearance, probably next spring.

Poly Rock sadly suffered a fatal injury at Cork a couple of weeks ago.

Bunk Off Early has had another setback and will be retired to a good home.

As a result, I've taken a small share in Defy De Mee who can hopefully build on his decent second at Naas last month.
 
Sad to hear about Bunk off Early Archie thought he was a fantastic little horse with a bright future
 
first post on this forum- so looking forward to contributing. OG is a very inexpensive way of getting involved . For those lucky enough to buy into Pentland Hills, they now own a very small part of a dual grade 1 winner. Obviously with 3000 shares per horse theres no chance of winning any signifcant prize money but they keep you very well informed via email updates, magazines and video clips. There are quite a few whingers who write into the magazine wondering why their horse hasnt run and how they must have been 'conned' if the trainer decides the horse needs more time before racing but the syndicate managers are not afraid to publish these online and give full responses. I cannot fault the service and it is very low risk. If you want more for your money then you would have to step up to smaller syndicates and shell out much bigger annual payments.
 
The squad for the new season is now in place. Dramalarma Lucy and Eileen O have gone back to their breeders which leaves established 'favourites':
Kemboy - all roads lead to Cheltenham
Cadmium - graded races
Robin De Carlow - won her beginners chase last month
Shanning - Galway?
Chambord Du Lys - handicap hurdles
Defy De Mee - over a hairline fracture and probably go over fences at some stage

plus the following who have yet to appear:
Greenane Lady (renamed from Get Over It) - leased 5yo mare by Shantou - ready to roll
Captain Kangaroo - 4yo Mastercraftsman gelding - bumpers late autumn
Mount Pleasant - 4yo Beat Hollow filly - bumpers autumn
Weston Park - 4yo Big Bad Bob filliy - bumpers autumn

I've also invested in Kemboy's cousin, a 3yo filly by Leading Light. Not a store as she's already been in work and schooled but she won't be out until next season.
 
Thanks for the update archie, will get them all in the tracker for interest.


Any idea on the starting point for Kemboy? I imagine the answer is no, way too early to make plans and ground/weather will dictate..... but you never know! :)
 
Current thinking is that he'll only go once or twice before Cheltenham but it will depend on when he comes to hand.
 
Has Kemboy's Cousin got a name yet Archie , or still to be named ??.
 
Known as Kemgirl but I don't think that's officially registered.

I quite like Kem Again or Kem Together if you're a Beatles fan.

Nice looking horse available on Owners group at minute.

Divine Gift - £45 per share.

Iain Jardine to train,
Rated 83 on flat, was as high as 89.
It's last race on the flat in June for C Fellowes is strong form meaning his flat mark is probably a winnable one.
They've said it'll be dual purpose and is to go juvenile hurdling.
By Nathaniel (rated 128 flat) and Souter's sister (104 flat) which is pretty decent.
Trainer did well with Bedrock who was a similar type.
Barring injury this looks a fun type of horse to have a small share in, and potentially a proper horse if taking to hurdles.
Bought a share for a mate anyway.

Forgive my naivety... is that £45 a month?

I'd be really interested in this.... I pay more than that for Sky a month and get much less out of it :highly_amused:

One off annual payment if you choose to renew.
It’s a novelty really but horses like divine gift potentially will have a few runs.
There’s a Nichols bumper horse up at the minute but the write up suggests it might not run much.
 
A couple of mates had a £45 share with one of nicky hendersons horses , but with the Flu ,
and then the dry weather ( going g-f ) , their horse hasn't run yet , and maybe won't
before their years up , not sure if they'll renew ....

Yeah, that's why I liked the Divine Gift offer, as barring injury/illness it's likely to run on the flat and /or jumps. But time will tell. And it's only £45.
 
Just had a look at the O/Group website . Tempted by Stage star - Paul nicholls. Must take a while to sell 4000 shares ??.
 
I bought one in Asdaa- Maktoum horse with Weld, before moving to Owners Group + to be trained with M.Johnston. Main reason for it was the trainer, if there's one man to get them on the track a lot we know who it is! Also has solid enough form behind Basic Law.

I've had a monthly newsletter, and the amount of moaning about horse's not running is absurd. It's £40 odd quid!
 
Hi Archie, any thoughts at this early stage regarding Cadmium and the Hennessy?

Zero chance I'd have thought. After the Topham, Willie said he'd stick to 2m4f and see how far he could go in graded races. He came in at the start of the month and looked well enough in himself a couple of weeks ago but, without any confirmation from anyone who knows better, I'm thinking in terms of something like the Clonmel Oil Chase.
