Launch of The Stepping Stones Syndicate

We are thrilled to launch "The Stepping Stones Syndicate," and introduce our first horse!

The syndicate name originates from the stepping stones situated across Ogmore River, which are just behind the yard and Ogmore Castle. We wanted a name which linked the yard's location with the unique methods of training here at Christian Williams Racing. The horses paddle alongside the stepping stones everyday, so it seems rather fitting that the syndicate will carry this name.

The first horse to come into the syndicate is "Bombay Pete," an exciting new arrival from the Irish point-to-point fields.

A 4yo son of "Pether's Moon," he was previously based with leading handler Cormac Doyle and was set to finish third in a competitive Lisronagh point-to-point in February only to suffer a fall at the final fence.

Pete is out of the talented mare "Princess Pauline" and by the classy sire "Pether's Moon" who has quickly established himself as a ready source of Winners, and Bombay Pete is yet another highly promising youngster for the sire.

Christian has had a busy couple of weeks inspecting horses, looking for something with promise and ability, as well as suitability for the syndicate - but Bombay Pete really stood out as a cut above the rest, and Christian believes he could have a big future ahead of him.

The plan going forwards will be to let Pete settle into our routine and hopefully run in a bumper or maiden hurdle in 4-5 weeks, depending on how he progresses. You will see from the photo above he has a bit of strengthening and filling into his frame to do, but this will all come in time and we're really looking forward to making a start with him, and sharing his journey with you.

Costs to join the syndicate are as follows (per 5% share:)

An initial share price of £1750 to buy the horse.

Training fees of £1800 upfront for the year OR £180 paid monthly.

All Owners receive their share of prize money at the end of the term.

Syndicate owners will receive regular photo and videos of the highest quality as well as detailed and informative updates from Christian and our team on Pete's progress. All owners will be invited to participate in a WhatsApp group with all other owners, Christian and syndicators. Come racing with us and enjoy stable visits to our beautiful and unique training operation!

Below are our new syndicate colours - of course symbolising our Welsh flag! We hope they will be seen plenty in the Winners enclosure over the coming years and be linked to success.

This is a real opportunity to get involved in a lovely young horse with a promising future.
