— 1% Share Syndicates —
OUR APPROACH
Sharing the experience
We aim to share the ownership experience more widely, make proper use of owners’ badges, and reduce running costs by spreading them across equal shares.
This isn’t a business built to turn a profit. It’s run by someone who loves racing and wants others to enjoy it the same way.
In recent years, smaller micro-syndicates have brought real energy to raceday, while more traditional 5%+ ownership continues to appeal.
A 1% share means you genuinely own part of the horse. You share in prize money, receive regular updates and videos, and have a good chance of an owners’ badge when the horse runs, not just watching from the outside.
THE DETAIL
How it Works
Each horse is divided into 1% shares, with up to 100 owners.
Structure
For every horse you’ll see the buy-in price, monthly costs and syndicate term upfront. No surprises.
Raceday
We request the maximum number of owners’ badges available for each race and allocate them fairly if demand exceeds availability.
Communication
Regular updates via WhatsApp or Email, such as training news, entries, race plans, and the thinking behind decisions where and why a horse runs.
Prize Money
Any prize money earned is shared between owners in proportion to their 1% share.
Race entry and jockey fees are deducted from prize money when it is earned, and if those costs exceed prize money, the difference is covered by Montefeltro Racing.
Any surplus is paid out at the end of the syndicate term.

Latest News
Promising week for the Montefeltro horses
It was a busy week for Montefeltro Racing with all three of our horses running on consecutive days.
Attention Seeker started us off at Beverley on Tuesday and ran his best race of the season so far. It wasn’t a big surprise as he’d been working a lot better than he’d been showing on the track (“dismal” – Racing Post, Timeform squiggle!), and we were trying him right handed for the first time. He stayed 10 furlongs well and we wouldn’t be afraid to try 12f next, but what we think could be the key to him is easier ground. Juvenile hurdling is a possibility again.
On Wednesday My O My continued her consistent run of form with a 3rd place at Bath…
A first winner for Cotton Bud and Montefeltro Racing!
Cotton Bud got her season off to the perfect start with an impressive win at Doncaster. After being settled in last place she came with a beautifully smooth run to lead a furlong out and despite looking green, kept on well to the line.
After the race, jockey Daniel Tudhope said: “She just took a bit of time to find her feet but I always felt like I had them covered…
