Frequently asked questions

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know before your first enquiry. Can’t find your answer here?

What is a Horse syndicate ?

A syndicate is a group of owners who each hold a share in one or more horses, splitting the costs of training and racing as well as any prize money in proportion to their stake. It’s the most accessible way to experience ownership without covering the full cost alone.

Leasing and share ownership are separate routes — our team will walk you through which one fits your budget and goals.

Membership is open to owners who hold a share with Raptors, or by invitation through one of our partner studs.

Pinhooking is buying a yearling to resell as a two-year-old. It suits owners comfortable with a shorter, trade-focused horizon.

Yes. Most of our members started with no background in racing; we handle selection, training and race-day logistics end to end.
