Racing Update

Caballo Racing were looking for a couple of new horses and in May last year at the Beverely they claimed Ninety Nine, a three year old filly who had won one of her 9 races at that stage. Since bringing her to the yard she has won again for Caballo and now looks to be developing nicely for 2025.

Caballo is now in partnership with Con Harrington as owners of Crafty Spirit a 3 year old Invincible Spirit by Crafty Madame (Mastercraftsman) We expect him to be a success for the yard this year. He is off to a start at Beverley and Wetherby and is benefiting from the runs.

Currently we only have 6 horses in full traing and of those 4 have won this year and 3 of them more than once. Of the other 2 Ninety Nine has been placed and we are still learning about Crafty Spirit. We are bringing Victoria Legend on steadily and ”this young gelding will pay dividends in time to come.

Biplane 1 win, Dandy’s Angel 2 wins, Eeetee 2 wins and Elettaria 2 wins. And More to come!!!

Yard update

There are old faces and new at the yard for 2015. Back and in training for the turf flat season are Dandy’s Angel, Ninety Nine, EeeTee and Victoria Legend. Elettaria has had a short rest after the all weather season and is working again in preparation for the turf while Biplane has been busy all winter and is still enjoying the all weather tracks. New faces include Crafty Spirit who is owned in partnership between Con Harrington and Caballo Racing Two.

Zarkavon’s two year old filly is working well and we have much to look forward to.

Race Horse Syndicates

Racehorse Ownership Club

Racehorse Ownership Club started back in 2021 with Stephen being the owner of all the horses. Hannah joined the club in January 2023 as an assistant and quickly got more involved with the racing and horse welfare. They both work together to offer both micro shares in flat and jump horses as well as VIP syndicates.

Racehorse Ownership Club provides regular updates on your horses, race day badge opportunities every time your horse is declared and stable visits. The horses are based all over England which opens up more chances for people to get involved.

After two years in operation we have found that our racing club was not able to attract the level of membership needed to make the club viable. With great regret we have had to cease running the club from the end of it’s second year. Many of the members were keen to retain an involvement with our club horse, Elettaria and so she has been syndicated to them. This will keep Elettaria in the yard with a full syndicate of lease owners.

Who knows what will happen in the future. Many members have expressed a willingness to join a club again should that prove possible and we will keep in touch with them through our Members Only section of this website. Thanks are due to all the members who supported the Club during its two years. Stay in touch.
