Welcome to ‘The Champagne Club!’
The Champagne Club was formed back in 1988 with the intention of creating a low risk opportunity for ordinary individuals to invest in top class greyhounds without having to personally pay the high initial and ongoing costs! The concept was immediately successful and we have subsequently syndicated a number of top quality greyhounds and the Club now has over one hundred and fifty members. Based on this success I decided to utilize the same concept for horse ownership, Each of these investments have been based on sharing the cost with other like minded people who want the fun of being involved, the dream of potentially making some money and the enjoyment of meeting new friends!
The way it works is that we buy a horse or greyhound (usually initially funded by me) and then we offer for sale enough shares at a sensible price to fund the initial purchase and training costs. The prize money won is kept in an account and once the horse or greyhound is retired or sold that money is shared equally among the shareholders! If one of our horses or greyhounds was to make money at stud or from breeding those profits would also be equally shared between the shareholders.
When you buy a share in a ‘Bubbly’ horse or greyhound you will receive a certificate of share ownership with your name on it and a picture of the horse or greyhound and you are then added to a text system that sends a text every time the horse or greyhound is running with details of the race and whether the trainer thinks it can win. You can visit the stables or kennels and if you are having a big day/night somewhere we try and send a 'Bubbly' to the track for you. You can call, text or email me at any time and I will always do my best to get back to you to answer any questions or listen to feedback.
If you would like to receive information when new shares become available for either Greyhounds or Horses please send a text with your name to 07885 328669 or alternatively email me and I will contact you with the relevant details.
