Treasure Time lands his first victory!
Oneofourmostexcitingprospectsheading into 2024, Treasure Time, got off the mark with a thrilling win at Newmarket in June! He was RaceShare’s fifth individual winner since the last publication of RaceShare Times - from only seven to have run in that period.Trev,asheiswellknownamonghis owners, endured a luckless run at Chester prior to that and his jockey, Cieren Fallon, wascertainhewasawinnerinwaiting-and boywasheright!
The pair were sent off at 17/2 in a competitive three-year-old handicap. Treasure Time travelled sweetly into the race and took the lead with a furlong to travel.Hewasjoinedbythefavouriteallthe way to the line and the two of them pulled well clear of the rest of the field. Trev battled admirably well and prevailed by a head, with a huge roar from the many ownersinattendance!
The scenes on the track were electric, as owners celebrated in the sunshine on the July Course. TrevwasgivenaTimeformratingof89forthis run which is very close to the ratings given to his high-class siblings, Badri and Equality at this point in their careers. Given that Equality wentontobethirdinaGroup1,thisisamouth wateringprospect.
We cannot wait to see what the rest of the season has in store for us with our exciting, winning,three-year-old!
Golden Maverick secures £30k Final!
As the Jumps season was drawing to a close in April, Golden Maverick made it a month to remember for his owners as he landed back-to-back successes, culminatinginaClass2atMusselburgh!
Our son of Zarak was an easy winner at HaydockattheendofMarch,sothiswasa step up in class and a quick turnaround, whenliningupattheScottishtrack.Buthe proved what an improving and tough horse he is, staying on impressively in the home straight and going on to record a cosy two and a quarter length victory underregularjockeyGavinSheehan.
In winning this £30k juvenile handicap hurdlefinal,Mavlandedahealthyprizefor hisownersandinsomestyletoo!Theonly thing missing from the day was a bit of sunshine!
Jamie Snowden has campaigned him brilliantly and, following a solid second on his final start of the season, his form figures in five races since we bought him last autumn now read 23112!
Mav is now enjoying a well-earned summer holiday with Claire Hart in the beautiful Cotswolds countryside (see opposite for a clip ofhimenjoyinghistimeinthefield!)
He is now a dual hurdles and five-time Flat winner - an impressive career record from just 20 starts in total under both codes. We can’t waittoseehiminactionagainintheautumn!
Red Mirage wins on seasonal return!
Big Red was something of an enigma in 2023, but he returned to the winner’s enclosure for his first success in RaceShare silksonhisseasonaldebutinApril!
He clearly showed the benefit of a winter holiday and he had historically run well fresh, so when he lined up at Catterick off a 13lb lower mark than for his last win, we were very hopeful he’d show us what he was capable of. It was great to see him do justthatandrewardthepatienceofhisloyal owners!
That performance earned him a crack at a big field handicap at York’s Dante meeting, but the ground was too quick for him. RaceShare organised a private suite for the afternoonfornoextracharge,whichwasan amazing experience and another exclusive benefit of becoming an owner with RaceShare!
Since then, his best effort came when we last saw him at Chester, when finishing a very close third under elite amateur jockey, Patrick Mulllins, whocameoverfromIrelandtoridehim! Hewasonlybeatenjustoveralengthonground that wasn’t quite soft enough for his liking, so it gave us plenty of encouragement that there is plenty more to come from this fan favourite later thisyearwhenhegetshisoptimalconditions.
La Pulga returns with a bang!
La Pulga was not about to let Red Mirage take all the limelight when he lined up two days later for his seasonal returnatNewcastle!
He had run very well at the track at the backendoflastyear,soareappearance atthistracklookedlikeanidealstarting point - particularly for a horse who wantsgoodgroundontheturf.
It was another four-runner affair, the same field size as when dominating at Hamilton last June. He was headed in the long home straight over the extended mile and a half, but he showedjusthowgutsyheistogetback upclosehomeforanothervictoryinthe RaceSharesilks!
La Pulga had a busy campaign in 2023, running 12 times for the Charlie Johnston yard and he looks set for the same again this year; since his win, he has run three times, with his best finish coming last time out at Pontefract, when beaten under two lengths by a very well-handicappedindividual.
Asahorsewhohaswonforusbothonturfand the all-weather, we are sure there will be lots more to look forward to for his owners with so manyraceoptionstochoosefrom!
Robusto’s first RaceShare win at Kempton!
Robustosteppeduptotwomilesforthefirst time in his career when lining up at Kempton.
Trainer Eve Johnson Houghton was confident he would stay the extra two furlongs, having run so well over 1m 6f at Southwell earlier this year - and boy was sheright!
Ridden by Saffie Osborne, the pair kept close tabs on the leader and hit the front enteringthehomestraight.Saffieaskedhim to go and win his race and he began to go through the gears to open up the advantage.
It was an agonising final furlong, as he began to get lonely in front and with the chasing pack closing on him! However, we admirably pulled out more in the last 100 yardstowincosilybyalength!
Not only was it a memorable win for everyone involved off the track, but particularly so for those there that evening, because we organised a private box facility for approximately30ownerstoenjoy.
The food was excellent, the views of the track equally so, and owners enjoyed champagne in theboxaftertherace-sospiritswereskyhigh!

Lir Speciale makes a solid start to 2024!
Our partnership horse with Racing TV has been really popular so far, with a large number of subscribers taking a free share in Lir Speciale as part of their membership of thepopularracingchannel.
They have been treated to three runs so far, which began with a drop back to the minimum trip at Newmarket in mid-May. Ridden by Marco Ghiani, Lir stayed on well outoftheDiptofinishaneye-catchingfourth.
Next time out, he was blunted by ground that wassofterthantheofficialgoingdescribedat Haydock and then the draw counted against him on his return to the all-weather when last seenatNewcastleattheendofJune.
Considering his adverse draw and the fact he was last off the bridle, he stayed on really well on the nearside rail and showed a great attitude. In the end, he was only beaten under five lengths, so the performance can definitely bemarkedup.
He has shown lots of promise in three starts since joining Stuart Williams and the RaceSharexRacingTVpartnership-andsince dropping back to sprinting - so we are confident we will see some big performances fromhimsoon!
Scampi’s solid return to action!
Last year’s flagbearer Scampi made us wait until June to see him back on the racecourse, but it was so good to see our YorkDanteandAscotShergarCupwinner backinoursilksandracingagain!
Andrew was clear that he expected our boy to need this run back on the Knavesmire, so we were delighted to see him travel sweetly into the race despite beingkeenongroundthatwasonthesoft sideforhim.
RaceShare organised a private suite at York for the day, enjoyed by over 90 owners, so it was yet another memorable chapter in Scampi’s career for everyone whoattended.
All-in-all, a solid start to the season and onwards we go from here with the £200k JohnSmith’sCuphisnexttarget!
