About Us
Pimlico Racing
Over the past decade, Nathaniel Barnett has managed two of the leading racing syndicates in the UK, with winners at racecourses throughout the country and abroad, from Ascot and Cheltenham to Auteuil and Saint-Cloud.
Pimlico Racing has National Hunt and Flat horses in training with top-class trainers across Ireland and the UK.
Pimlico Racing syndicates were launched in 2019, focusing on acquiring horses that can take us to the big meetings, both over jumps and on the flat.
Our first three horses to run all won, including two on their first start for us, with all three sourced for £8,000 or less. We enjoyed our first big success in March 2021, with Zoffany Bay landing a €100,000 Listed contest at Auteuil.
We hit the ground running with multiple winners in Ireland and we have a burgeoning and talented team to look forward to on the racecourse in 2024.
Our National Hunt horses in Ireland for 2024 are Mystic Sage, Pastorale and Zurich (Henry de Bromhead), Ninth Titan and North Moon (Willie Mullins), Amina and Innatendue (John McConnell) and I Am Mimi (Gavin Cromwell). Our New Bay colt is in pre-training and a trainer will be decided upon in due course.
In the UK, our National Hunt horses are Collanisi and Stardhem (Ben Pauling), Mourzouk (Tim Vaughan) and Cottie (Dan Skelton). On the flat, we have Chindwin (James Owen).
Having started with just one share, my first foray into ownership, I now have an interest in four horses with Pimlico Racing. Nathaniel does a wonderful job keeping us informed and entertaining us on racedays and I am learning more about this fascinating sport with every passing day.
