In a world where heritage, excellence, and exclusivity quietly command enduring value, Montbards is pleased to announce the launch of Montbards Racing, a private partnership offering its members privileged access to the highest echelons of international thoroughbred racing.
For many, the world of racing is defined by spectacle: the roar of the crowd, the flash of silks, the thrill of a photo finish. Yet for the few who stand behind the rails, who meet in the paddocks, who discuss bloodlines over breakfast at Newmarket’s Jockey Club Rooms, racing is something altogether different. It is a world of tradition, trust, and quiet stewardship. It is a world Montbards Racing invites its members to enter, not as spectators, but as participants in a refined and private journey.
At its core, Montbards Racing is not a syndicate in the conventional sense. It is an experience. Under the stewardship of Jamie Piggott, son of the legendary Lester Piggott and an esteemed figure in international bloodstock circles, Montbards Racing curates a select string of racehorses sourced for their pedigree, potential, and long-term value. Each horse is placed with Britain’s leading trainers, including George Boughey, William Haggas, and the Coles family, ensuring every thoroughbred is given the optimal pathway from the sales ring to the winner’s enclosure.
“Our vision for Montbards Racing was to create something that went beyond ownership,” explains Jamie. “It’s about giving our members privileged access to a sport and culture that few truly experience. From private stables to global race meetings, every detail is curated, every relationship personal.”
Indeed, Montbards Racing offers members a calendar of exceptional experiences. From a private box in the Royal Enclosure at Royal Ascot to panoramic dining at Longchamp’s Arc de Triomphe, from yacht hospitality at the Dubai World Cup to the rarefied frozen lake of St Moritz’s White Turf, members enjoy more than simply racing, they are welcomed into the private world of the sport’s inner circle.
Closer to home, the partnership hosts private visits to Britain’s leading training yards, intimate previews at Tattersalls bloodstock sales, and hospitality at Newmarket, Goodwood, York, and other flagship meetings. Every moment is designed not merely for attendance, but for participation: a seat at the table, a place in the paddock, a stake in the story.
While many syndicates focus solely on the thrill of ownership, Montbards Racing places equal emphasis on stewardship. Each horse is selected with an eye not only to immediate performance but to its potential trajectory within the industry. This approach reflects Montbards’ broader philosophy: the careful curation of heritage assets, the preservation of legacy, and the nurturing of long-term value.
Members receive private updates, direct access to trainers and advisors, and the assurance that every decision is made with the same care and integrity that defines Montbards across all its endeavours. Each member is not merely a name on a list, but a trusted participant in a shared pursuit of excellence.
Perhaps what sets Montbards Racing most apart is its discretion. Membership is strictly by invitation. There is no advertising campaign, no open subscription. The partnership grows quietly, through personal introductions and word-of-mouth within trusted circles. This is not a platform for the masses, but a gathering of individuals who understand the subtle joys of belonging to something both rare and enduring.
The launch of Montbards Racing represents a natural extension of Montbards’ ethos: to steward, conserve, and enhance the assets, whether tangible or cultural, that define a life well-lived. In racing, as in all things, true value lies not in mere possession, but in participation, provenance, and the privilege of access.
As the inaugural string begins its campaign, members can look forward to a season defined not only by the thrill of the turf but by the camaraderie, knowledge, and shared journey that comes from being part of an experience beyond ownership. From the private stables to the grandstands of the world’s greatest racecourses, Montbards Racing offers its members a rare invitation: to step not simply into a partnership, but into a tradition.
Membership of Montbards Racing is by invitation only. For discreet enquiries, please contact Montbards Private Office.
