Horse Racing Syndicates: How to Share Costs and Own a Racehorse Keep the partnership simple and get everything in writing. Find a horse you like and a great veterinarian you trust. Decide how many shares will be offered in a horse. Choose your trainer wisely. Map out a plan and consult with your partners and trainer.
For a syndicator to be approved by the BHA they must themselves be registered as a sole or company owner. SYNDICATE MEMBERS: Any person who has shares in the ownership, or lease, of racehorses through a syndicate should be listed a syndicate member.
Syndicates are a form of shared ownership where the Syndicate members own, or lease, an interest in racehorses. A Syndicate is managed and administered by the Syndicator(s) and only the syndicator(s) must register as a Sole/Company owner. It isn't necessary for members of the Syndicate to register as owners.
Syndication refers to a co-ownership of a horse, also known as a “co-ownership agreement” when made between two or more people. Each owner owns a fractional interest in the animal and the original owner is the syndicator and the manager.
