NICK BRADLEY RACING - The OWNER EXPERIENCE

Overall my owner's experience with NBR has wildly surpassed my expectations. Thanks to everyone involved at NBR! To have a runner win at Royal Ascot, placed in a Classic, as well as numerous other Listed and Group winners has just been tremendous. Nick has done a superb job of adding value to his recruits across the board and making such a handsome profit on Dandalla and Mystery Angel, in particular, was brilliant. I wouldn't want to buy into juveniles with anyone else.

A fantastic and easy way to get into horse racing. Never any difficulty in communicating with Nick. A bucket list experience to enter the pre parade ring, talk to the jockey in the parade ring. Nothing like watching your horse run then having the pleasure of being in the winner’s enclosure. You get the entertaining side of owning a horse without the complex side of race management to which Nick proves quite the expert.

Nick is a genius at what he does in regards to buying horses, getting the best of their ability out of them by running in races others possibly are not bold enough to try. My experience so far has been top class in that I was very fortunate to have 5% of Mystery Angel and the day at Epsom was beyond amazing. Overall easily best syndicate I've been involved with.

The service has been second to none. Since moving from another syndicate who claim they boast the best results in and out, we have been treated with care, regular updates from Nick and the trainer regarding the horses, breaking in process shared with owners for yearlings, badges available upon request for your horses, best advice in the industry. The team at Nick Bradley racing are sure to prove far superior than any other syndicate managed operation in the country. Finally, Nick is not afraid to send horses overseas for increased prize values, meaning more chance of the horse paying for themselves. Jonathan Riley

So far my experience has been fantastic (my first horse will be running this year). The updates (inc. pictures and videos) keep me informed on a regular basis. My first owner open day was exceptional - the way Nick shared his knowledge on the horses and why he purchased them was really engaging. Can't wait for the year ahead!

Nick Bradley Racing was the first syndicate I got involved with in terms of horse ownership, and I can say that I very much wouldn’t mind if it’s the only racing group I ever am involved with. Frequent updates of all my current horses as well as new information about the racing group in general, with a great newsletter with lots of valuable information in.

If you're looking to dip your toe into racehorse ownership, then Nick Bradley Racing is the place for you.  Nick is extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to and he's passionate about creating an affordable and exciting experience for his owners, as well as a great environment for his horses. Nick is very hands on and extremely generous with his time.  He shares his expertise willingly, providing regular updates, pictures and videos of your horses. With shares in three racehorses and two of the NBR breeding projects, we're coming to the end of our first year with NBR.  We were lucky enough to see all our racehorses win at least once, and despite the Covid 19 restrictions, we have never had as much fun going racing. Being there as an owner puts going to the races on a whole new level and, as well as seeing our horses run, we've met some fantastic likeminded people. We've had no hesitation in investing in several of his new yearling purchases and we're looking forward to another exciting year watching and being involved with our horses as they progress as 2-year olds. The whole NBR team are friendly and approachable - nothing is too much trouble and we would highly recommend NBR to both new and existing investors. Tony & Sue

2020 was my second season of ownership with Nick Bradley Racing following a successful first season in 2019 with Yolo Again who won twice and finished a creditable fourth in the 3-Year-Old All-Weather Championships. 

My first yearling purchased with Nick, along with my dad Bill and partner Angela was Samara Bay. We had been to see Samara Bay at Richard Fahey’s yard in late January 2020 and was looking forward to seeing her running during the coming season. Obviously after this visit the world changed somewhat and her debut like many others was put on hold. Samara Bay didn’t really perform on the first run but gradually race by race began to know her job and crossed the winning line first on the fourth start at Catterick with her victory celebrated on Zoom with other owners who were not able to attend. She returned to Catterick during August, myself and dad were fortunate to attend and see her win very handsomely. We received a winning photograph of Samara Bay and Billy alongside fellow owners which was very special indeed given by dad Bill, passed away in early September. The winners photograph alongside one of Samara Bay in action and my dad’s ‘owners’ badge’ hang proudly on my kitchen wall. 

A somewhat strange year and racing season but Samara Bay, under Nick’s guidance, has proved a good purchase for very little outlay providing two wins, you cannot really ask for more!

I have been involved in 2 horses so far but can say that all owners are treated the same irrespective of share size.  Communication is excellent.  Nick gives an honest appraisal of a horse and its prospects.  Stable visits are well organised.  Can definitely recommend.

I joined NBR for the first time ahead of the 2020 flat season. I got involved in 3 horses and the experience has been truly amazing! Zihaam won 3 times, Samara Bay won twice and ...most importantly of all, Dandalla won 3 times, twice at Group level including a coveted Royal Ascot victory. This is what dreams are made of and I confidently recommend this syndicate to anybody looking for quality, affordable Racehorse ownership. 

Tony Marlow

We have been with Nick for about 5 years now and have gradually increased the number of horses we have shares in. This year it will be seven. Nick is very knowledgeable about horse racing and is a very shrewd buyer who looks for value at all times. Therefore, the horses he buys can be incredible value, we have shares in Dandalla and Fev Rover to prove the point! The communication from Nick and his team is really good and importantly honest.

We like the idea of owning a share in a horse, rather than being in a syndicate without ownership. We always get tickets to attend and the yard visits are always informative. Overall, our experience with Nick Bradley Racing has been very positive and although this year has been difficult with Covid 19 we look forward to 2021 with 4 new yearlings and perhaps one of them will be the next Dandalla or Fev Rover.

2020 was a strange and trying time to be a Syndicate Member and Owner of a racehorse. I have made the most of it by trying to attend the racecourse where my horse was running whenever it was possible. I have been fortunate to have two Black Type winners this year although I have not been able to see one of them run live due to the pandemic. This year has ironically turned out to be Nick Bradley Racings best year and is testament to Nicks hard work and expertise in buying good yearlings at the sales. Looking ahead to next year and trying to be positive about the situation, I went to Doncaster Yearling Sales where Nick and his team chaperoned me around the Sales. A very enjoyable experience, and of course, I bought into two yearlings for next year. Although it has been a difficult year, overall, it was a great year for me as an owner. I am now looking forward to the 2021 season and hoping things get back to normal for another great year with Nick Bradley Racing.
