Great British Racing has launched a new website, Inthepaddock.co.uk, to showcase to potential buyers just how easy and affordable it can be to become a racehorse owner, with options starting at as little as £100 for a share in a racehorse and featuring racehorses all over the UK.
Richard Brown, Managing Director of Newmarket-based Blandford Bloodstock, is widely recognised as one of the most talented bloodstock agents in the business.

Stakes in the US.
Owning a race horse is generally for the wealthy or expert, it is not a field normally open to amateurs or those looking to experiment.

Located between the capes of San Antonio and Nao, Jávea is one of the most important tourist destinations on the Costa Blanca. The historic quarter, located two kilometres away from the coastline, preserves a beautiful architecture, with emblematic monuments such as the church of San Bartolomé, the city's neuralgic centre.

The Land Speed Cruiser made its debut at SEMA, the world’s leading customisation show, in Las Vegas last year. It started life as a standard US-specification Land Cruiser, before being heavily modified by a team of engineers at Toyota’s Motorsports Technical Center (MTC).
Chuck Wade, MTC Manager, said: “The world’s fastest SUV record was at 211mph, which is extremely rapid. Toyota thought ‘why don’t we make a really, ultra-powerful Land Cruiser and just see how fast we can make it go’.”
Our consumption of fashion is evolving. The throwaway days of ‘new season, new wardrobe’ seem to be numbered as we seek a more sustainable approach to all aspects of our lives, not just the fashionable ones.
