5 Step BBT Syndication System

Nurturing our athletes is a critical element of success. We only place our horses with boutique trainers who share in the BBT ethos.

Our racehorses are campaigned to increase their resale value and maximise the prizemoney they can win for you on the track.

The Secret No Syndicate Will Tell You.
You may have already noticed, but our north star metric is owner experience.
Which means, you being happy even if your horse doesn’t make the grade.
This is sport.
Not every tennis prodigy, football ace or talented musician fulfills their early promise.
Horse racing is no different. The odds are the odds, even the wealthiest & largest racing stables can’t escape this.
We advise owners to only invest what they are happy to write off. This is primarily a social investment.
Excitement on the occasions your horse is racing.
Hope & expectation throughout your horse in training.
Pride of viewing your horse at the stables & on the gallops.
Memories shared with friends and family at syndicate events.
Relationships forged with other owners & industry figures.
Our Model is Grounded in Economics.
Always searching for value, we purchase promising horses at the sales. Nurture their potential. Showcase that on the racecourse. Sell to the major international stables & crystallise a return for you, the owners.
Clear & transparent syndicate timeline: We sell or re-home horses that aren’t up to racing standard as soon as possible. If the horse needs time, we let them flourish. But, our syndicates never run for more than 2 racing seasons.
Why do we do this?: Unlike other syndicates we don’t charge extortionate management fees or mark up horses. Alternatively we set up a…
Win - Win Scenario: We earn a 7.5% commission only when the horse is sold. Our success is your success, your loss is our loss.
Purchase fractional (1% / 2.5% / 5% /10%/20% ) equity shares: Purchase at your own risk tolerance. You own your pro-rata percentage of the horse. This way you receive net sales proceeds and a net prizemoney dividend.
Payment Structure: Once off Share acquisition and monthly racing fee starting at a predefined date. NO OTHER HIDDEN COSTS. EVER.

What Owners are Saying About Us…
“My first time experiencing horse racing ownership! Hardworking, knowledgeable, horse people. The lads have left no stone unturned with Medal of Glory. I look forward to the Sunday updates every week, very detailed & enjoyable. The day out at Navan when she ran a race full of promise, I was on a high for days! Really looking forward to the Holy Roman Emperor filly with George Boughey!”
— Jack Walsh, Ireland
"We were lucky enough to attend the Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds Breeders Cup Party 2021. George, Charlie, Thomas and friends welcomed us to an incredible night of horse racing, drinks and laughs. Everyone there made sure we felt comfortable and, by the end of the evening, we knew we made long-lasting friendships. We're looking forward to visiting Brownsbarn Thoroughbreds or attending a future event. Good people. Good times."
— Dan Britten & Lindsay Johnson, USA
The three lads are toppers, we have had fantastic days out to the yard and the races. Once I figured out how to use the app I just loved the Sunday updates. My wife bought me a share in the Sioux Nation filly at Christmas and I can’t wait to get over to Newmarket to see her. The one thing I have against the lads, I’m trying to convince them to buy a National hunt horse for next year and they are having none of it!”

FAQs
-
All horses in our care that aren’t up to racing, are sold for breeding or retrained for other equine pursuits. Whichever is the best option for the horse.
-
Each horse is split into 100 shares. We have a 25 share limit per owner. A syndicate could range in number from 4 -100 different owners. Typically there are 10 - 30 owners in each horse. We like to keep numbers that encourage serendipity by meeting like minded people.
-
Dependent on the horse in question. We run our syndicates on an upfront acquisition fee and monthly payment structure. Shares can range from 300€ - 1000€ followed by monthly fees (typically €35 - €50/share) to cover training and racing fees, starting at a predefined date. We aim for each of our horses to be sold within the first year, but as we all know horses are horses. Athletes in training can encounter problems that upset the best made plans.
-
No. There are no other costs involved other than the initial share purchase price and the monthly racing fee. The monthly fee will always stay the same.
