No, the per-share price listed is a one-time payment for the entire syndicate duration, with no further commitments or charges.
No, each share must be registered in the name of an individual only.
Initially, you will receive a welcome pack and a share certificate. As an owner, you'll enjoy regular updates, a share of any race prize money won, complimentary stable visits, a monthly email, the opportunity to apply for free owners' badges, and more. View Benefits for details.
No, there are no monthly fees. The initial one-time cost covers all expenses, and there is no ongoing commitment.
My Future Champion divides the expenses among a large group of owners, typically around 3,000 shares. This way, all costs are distributed evenly, allowing you to become a genuine owner for a fraction of the usual expense.
We will provide a recommended value price whenever one of your horses competes. This price reflects our opinion of the horse's chances of winning, helping you assess the value of the odds offered.
Horse Updates
We have strong relationships with top UK trainers and select a trainer based on various factors, including where we believe the horse will progress best.
Yes, you receive one chance in any ballot for each share you own in that horse.
Yes, we organise stable visits to all our trainers. Further details will be provided to owners, and while bespoke visits may not be available, we hope all owners can attend one of our organised visits.
While we acquire horses with the intent of winning races, there are no guarantees in horseracing due to unforeseen circumstances. We'll keep you informed throughout your horse's journey.
We will notify you as soon as we receive entry or declaration updates. Trainers can enter races up to 48 hours before a Flat race and 24 hours before a National Hunt race. This decision-making process is known as declaration.
You will receive written updates at least once a week, with occasional video updates. Written updates may become more frequent when your horse is entered or declared for races.
Owners can obtain owners' badges (some free, some at a reduced price) through a ballot system. This is a memorable experience, especially if your horse wins. If you don't receive an owner's badge, many owners still attend the racecourse to watch their horses from the stands.
Race prize money, paid according to racing rules by Weatherby’s, is distributed among the syndicate members at the end of each syndicate term. If the sum exceeds £200,000, distribution occurs within a reasonable period after receipt from Weatherby. Refer to the terms and conditions for more details.
My Future Champion silks feature a Dark blue body with a white desk, light blue sleeves with white spotted cap.
The Syndicate
No, share purchases cannot be changed to a different horse after purchase.
All My Future Champion horses are covered by mortality insurance, including a theft extension. In the event of the horse's death or theft during the syndicate term, a claim can be made, and the funds received will be distributed among the syndicate owners based on the number of shares held.
Renewal prices are generally lower than the initial purchase price since owners have already paid their share of the horse's capital. Renewal prices include ongoing training, management fees, insurance, VAT, and contributions to the My Future Champion Horse Retirement Fund.
Due to the unpredictability of racehorses, no refunds can be provided if a horse doesn't make it to the racecourse.
Racehorse welfare is a top priority. Retired horses from My Future Champion are provided with loving homes and care. More information is available on our Welfare page.
My Future Champion horses have a set syndicate term, usually around 12 months. Owners receive a report near the end of the term with a recommendation on whether to renew for another term. Renewal prices typically only cover ongoing fees, making them cheaper than the initial share purchase. Owners have the choice to renew or not. If not renewed, relinquished shares are released for sale, and owners receive their share capital value if those shares are sold elsewhere.
