It&#8217;s an expensive game and, once the money&#8217;s spent, there&#8217;s no such thing as an assurance that success will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just not the case that more money invested equates to more success on the track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For every Gigginstown House Stud, the Michael O&#8217;Leary-led ownership magnate with multiple Grand Nationals in Ireland and England and Gold Cups via War Of Attrition (2006) and Don Cossack (2016) amongst a glittering array of prizes, there&#8217;s a Rich Ricci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The American businessman has poured money into the jumps game &#8211; and still does &#8211; and got rewards with stars like Annie Power, Douvan, Vautour and more. There have been many, many star performers for Ricci at the Cheltenham Festival &#8211; but no Gold Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Djakadam ran in four renewals and twice finished second but that remains as close as Ricci has come, in spite of huge investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, too, the case of JP McManus &#8211; one of racing&#8217;s biggest supporters and a man that has owned more horses than could be counted &#8211; but only the dour stayer Synchronised in 2012 has bagged the Blue Riband for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, owner Barry Maloney saw 2021 winner Minella Indo scoop the biggest prize of all relatively early in his ownership career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syndicates the Way to Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting into racehorse ownership is no longer a solo pursuit. There are lots of examples of owners coming together with a star &#8211; such as Bravemansgame for John Dance and Bryan Drew, a pair of owners that Britain&#8217;s champion trainer put together through having horses in training with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together, they now have one of Britain&#8217;s most exciting young and up-and-coming chasers, already a Grade 1 winner and with a bright future ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are now lots of affordable syndicates throughout Britain and Ireland allowing people to get into racehorse ownership at a relatively modest financial level. By pooling those investments, with well managed plans in place, these syndicates are thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Former racing professionals like Mick Fitzgerald and Noel Fehily add allure to their groups and the syndicate members get the advantages of visits to major yards, raceday access to owners &amp; trainers enclosures and the thrill of seeing &#8216;their horses&#8217; excel on the track on occasion at a fraction of the price that might be expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picking up the Dream Horse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are exceptions, of course, with the mare Skyace being one of the more recent cases in point. A group of six young Irish friends formed the Birdinthehand Syndicate and went to legendary trainer John Joseph Hanlon with \u20ac10,000 in summer 2020 asking him to find them a horse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"A \u00a3600 Grade One Winner! SYKACE wins the 2021 Mares Novice Hurdle Championship Final at Fairyhouse\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AJd2g5oK0lg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>To their surprise, the man known as &#8216;The Shark&#8217; told them he had his eye on a decent mare at the Ascot sales and he duly bought her for a measly \u20ac600 as a cast-off from the all-conquering Willie Mullins yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skyace would win four of her first nine starts over hurdles for &#8216;Shark&#8217; Hanlon and the Birdinthehand Syndicate, before a big run at the 2021 Cheltenham Festival where she finished fourth. A few weeks later, she was a Grade 1 winner at Fairyhouse, prompting scenes of delirium from her owners as they watched on from far-off Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She won&#8217;t be a Gold Cup winner in all probability (hasn&#8217;t jumped a fence yet!), but Skyace proved that even amongst mega-bucks owners of jumps racing today, a rags to riches story still has room to breathe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dream for any racehorse owner over jumps is the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the most prestigious race on the calendar in Britain and Ireland.
