Racehorse owners are central to the world of racing. It’s as result of their investment, dedication and perseverance that so many of the great racing stories and performances are known to us. Some owners will have been fans of the sport all their lives, only wanting to have a stake in seeing their own colours cross the finish line. Others have been involved in the sport due to their family’s history, being owners, breeders and trainers for generations. There are many racing families.
RaceHorseOwners.org.uk puts the focus on the men and women that lie behind many of british and world horse racing’s most famous horses, owners’ colours and histories. From large international racing enterprises through to racehorse owners renowned for one particular winner, this site celebrates those who, over the years, have contributed in meaningful ways to the sport.
Within the Major Racehorse Owners section of the website we look at the main owners, owner-breeders, owner-families and racing clubs in UK racing, exploring some of their most prominent horses and biggest winners in the process.
In the Who Owned section we focus on horse specific successes, who the owner is, and how they brought the best out of household name horses that we all know and love, like Kauto Star, Frankel and Best Mate.
The Famous People who own Racehorses area informs of how sportsmen, musicians, actors, other professionals and public figures got involved in horse racing, and the resulting fruits of their interest.
Whether you’re here to skin the owners lists, or you wish to do a deep dive you’ve come to the right place. The website is regularly updated with owner news and profiles.
