Our unbeaten sprinter Adonius is the proof of what we do — a £32,000 buy who won the Lily Agnes at Chester and drew serious international interest, with a half-share since sold to American investors. Next stop: the Group 3 Molecomb Stakes at Glorious Goodwood, 29 July.
Racehorse ownership has long been seen as a sport reserved for the wealthy. We're changing that. By splitting each horse into affordable 1% shares — buy one, or as many as you like — we open the doors of the racecourse to everyone — with the same access, the same thrill and the same pride of seeing your colours carried past the post. Every member gets stable visits, gallops mornings, racecourse badges, regular updates and a real say in the journey. A 1% share in Aodhan, for example, is just £580 up front plus £40 a month.
It's in our name. We don't just turn up on race day — we follow our horses from their very first wobbly steps, through the quiet, patient work on the gallops, all the way to the roar of the racecourse. A gentler, more personal way to be a racehorse owner.

Liam Harrison — the 8× World Thai Boxing (Muay Thai) Champion — owns our Almanzor × Reachforthestars filly alongside Matt Fisher and Tim Marks. When an elite champion puts his trust in Foal to the Finish, we take it as a real vote of confidence in the way we do things.
See the filly's storyOwnership is about the experience first and foremost — but we also buy shrewdly, and when the time is right a horse can be sold on. It's how a £32,000 yearling called Adonius came to have a half-share sold to American investors. A return like that is always a welcome bonus, never a promise.
We source young horses with the right pedigree, physique and potential — at a sensible price.
Placed with top trainers and brought along the right way, on the track and towards the sales ring.
When the time's right, a horse may be sold on — and any upside shared with our owners is a bonus on top of the experience, not a guarantee.
A word from us, honestly. Owning a racehorse should always be for the experience — the mornings on the gallops, the paddock before a race and the roar as they come home. Horses can win prize money and can sometimes be sold on, but there are never any guarantees. Please treat any money won as a lovely bonus, never the reason to own.
Browse our string and pick the horse — or horses — you'd love to follow. Shares are sold in 1% stakes — a 1% share in Aodhan is £580 up front plus £40 a month, with other horses priced on application.
Secure your share online or by phone. Your one-off payment covers your stake; a small monthly fee covers training and care — for Aodhan, that's £580 up front plus £40 a month per 1% share.
Get stable visits, racecourse badges, owner updates and a share of any prize money — own 5% of Aodhan and you're guaranteed an owners' badge when he runs. Then cheer them home!
Foal to the Finish is Michael and Jay Hughes — a father and son who buy and run every horse we offer — and we always keep a share of every horse ourselves. When you own with us, you're right there alongside us, with our own money on the very same horse.
