Old Gold Racing Avis 592

Old Gold Racing is, without a doubt, the best syndicate experience I've ever had. Their updates are brilliant and keep you right in the action. Following their recent winners, like John Barber, Girl Friday and Big City Roller, has been a massive thrill. You genuinely feel part of the success. Highly recommended for any racing enthusiast!

Old Gold Racing provides an excellent experience for the syndicate owners with great feedback every week from the trainer(I have 5 OGR horses with Lucinda and Michael Scudamore Racing).They are always quick to respond to any queries and Ed always tries to involve as many people as possible when he is at the races even when you don't have a badge.Unlike other syndicates you get pre race commentary on the app and the weekly feedback is very detailed on each horse.

Very efficient and informative service.

I couldn't be more happy good feedback and every win is a blessing I now have a lovely batch of horses in my stable

Fantastic first day at wetherby in the sunshine, encouraged my friend to join me with Girl Friday as we are friends who meet every Friday yhe name was apt. She looked amazing and ran well. A fantastic day not to be missed!

Old Gold racing is brilliant. I am engaged and thoroughly entertained. Whilst having some fun on the side. A great way to get a foot in the door and become part of a syndicate. Highly recommended.

Had my first days racing with Old Gold Racing at Wetherby yesterday and the organisers and fellow owners could not have been more welcoming! I cannot recommend Old Gold more highly if you enjoy your horse racing. The weekly feed back from trainers of your horse is utterly amazing. You really feel part of the process!!

Well done Girl Friday. Fantastic win. Can't wait to see what you can do in the future 👏

I was given a share in Big City Roller for my birthday a couple of years ago. It is absolutely great how Old Gold keep you in touch at least weekly how he is getting on. So much information and the videos are wonderful. It really makes me feel that he is my very own horse...so much information. Thank you Old Gold Racing. Xx

I’ve been with old gold since nearly the start and have around 25 horses with them so I enjoy watching them all on the TV and you feel part of the action it’s a great Hobby.

So informative on your horse and weekly updates, very positive as a first time owner ☺️

Great updates and videos of your horse every week, especially the horses trained by Lucinda Russell. On race days good videos of your horses in the parade ring and interviews with jockey before and after the race. On attending the race when your horse is running, even when you are unsuccessful in the ballot for an owners badge, Ed of OGR all ways tries to get you involved.

More than just a horse racing syndicate, the team put together great events and are led by the fantastic Ed. It's a cost-effective way to get a bit closer to horse racing with a real focus on the horses, training, and the journey of a racehorse. Good communications, a neat app, and transparent costs. What more do you want from a syndicate? Makes a cracking present for a loved-one too.

Very much enjoy this new experience of owning a few separate race shares with Old Gold. Love the weekly updates from two of the three trainers, although one has let the side down unfortunately, but that doesn't reflect on the quality of the horses or the overall experience. Also enjoy the addition of a free club horse experience of Henry Box Brown and the updates that come with it are fantastic from his trainer. Great choice. The admin team are second to none and very personable over the phone with any questions I had to start off with which were a few! Very much looking forward to 2026 and getting to my first race meetings and stable visits. I hope we get some more runs in Newcastle or locally soon🤞

As a shareholder in John B it’s great to get these insights into the horse , onwards and upwards for John B hopefully -it’s great fun to be part of OGR 👍👍

A very well run company that keeps you well updated on all your horses and it’s a great way to feel involved with Racing I really enjoy watching all my horses run it’s a 5 stars from me.

I'm new to this company but how 5star they are, keeping me up to date with all goings on at the stables and on the course, excellent keep up the good work I look forward to more of the same.
Thankyou

This is a friendly, helpful company. Nothing is too much trouble. Whether you are new to racing, or have been involved for years,it is a great way to be a part of the action as an owner. The team at OGR are adept at finding a good horse, and choosing a great band of trainers, and have had some great wins and places.
Highly recommended.

An excellent way to get into horse racing ownership. Plenty of information, stable visits and if you are lucky an owners badge to give you the experience in the parade ring.
Absolutely brilliant.

I was given a share in the Old Gold Racing Fabulous Fortune owners syndicate as a gift . After just a few days the owners were informed that the horse had sustained an injury and would require 8 weeks rest before being assessed, the injury had been spotted by the trainer soon after joining him but at the time of the update the horse had been with the trainer for over 3 months. Did OGR withhold info on the injury until all shares were sold or was the OGR weekly update false and misleading ????. Cost of the horse - OGR stated the the horse was purchased for £43,000 at Doncaster spring sales, the syndicate were charged £42637.50 (2250 x £18.95) the actual price was £40,000, just blatantly wrong resulting in the syndicate being overcharged by over £2500. The remainder of the syndicate time according to OGR updates was that the horse was spending his time resting and having a lovely time. Following an assesment the horse was then sent back to the trainer for a few weeks then the syndicate were informed that despite all the veterinary and laser treatment ( none of this mentioned in OGR weekly updates) the injury had flared up again and the horse was to be retired and we were asked to be patient and await the syndicate being wounds up. For the weekly very short email update that where at best misleading and at worst dishonest the syndicate was charged over £40,000 . I hope that anyone thinking of buying a share in any future OGR syndicate takes note of my review, just check out the information as to how your payment is proportioned and you will see that without exception in every syndicate the largest payment is to OGR, validated by the fact that they provide weekly updates ( sent to them by the trainer when in training) and in this case far from accurate otherwise,
Whilst your response is appreciated anyone reading it will see that it contains very little in response to my review but by focussing your response on other areas you have inadvertantly given much more strength to my claim that OGR were aware to the injury to Fabulous Fortune some time before the initial notification on September 6th 2024. Below are extracts taken from your response . Fabulous Fortune re-entered pre-training on 6 June 2025 following a period of time off. We reported that she had returned to full training in our update dated 27 June 2025.Fabulous Fortune’s 2025 programme broadly mirrored her 2024 timetable, which is normal. Below is the notification received on Sept 6th Fabulous Fortune was found to have some mild swelling around her front tendons shortly after her arrival at Jamie Snowden's yard. You acknowledge that the horse entered full training late June 2024 and the career ending injury was spotted soon after yet OGR continued to sell shares for approximately 2 months before launching the syndicate then informing the owners. You then say that the £40,000 + is not a management fee which is hilarious as that is the exact terminology you use on your ad
