ABOUT

Smart Syndicate is an online platform for shares in racehorses. We feature shared-ownership options from Syndicates, Racing Clubs and Multi-horse Partnerships. We have listings from the UK, USA and Australia. They’re viewable all together, all in one place for you to browse and compare. We aim to simplify the process of shared ownership, appealing to existing enthusiasts as well as those outside the racing bubble. We've always found it odd that shared ownership has been racing's best kept secret, as opposed to its clearest entry point.

FOR SELLERS

The idea is simple - it works by collective advertising of the platform and listings across print, digital, social media. We've run ad campaigns in Owner Breeder Magazine, The Spectator, City AM, The EBN, Racing Post and more. We're also the official sponsor of Gr1 runner Shes Perfect with Basher Watts Racing Syndicate. You can see a very nice testimonial from Charlie Fellowes on our instagram page, after selling an £8000 share in his horse through Smart Syndicate.

FOR BUYERS

Shared ownership is a cost-effective, fun way to get involved with racehorse ownership. Whether with a group of friends, or going alone to buy into a group. You could be buying a £50 microshare, or selling a stake in a £500,000 superhorse. There are few other sports where you can own a piece of the action so easily and get such good access to the competitors. In Australia syndicates have become a huge part of the racing industry, with 1 in every 254 people owning at least one share. This success shows the potential to do the same worldwide.

Smart Syndicate was launched in September 2024 by Oliver Weinfeld. He grew up on a stud farm in Hampshire but went on to work with design across film, TV and advertising. This project is the natural combination of both backgrounds.
