Ownership Why Kim Bailey
Why Jump Racing...
Before you ask ‘why Kim Bailey’ you need to first consider ‘why Jump racing’?
Jump racing, with all its thrills and spills, embodies the courage, grit and competitive spirit of bold horses and fearless jockeys. There is no better spectacle than the trial of accuracy, speed and stamina that is the essence of success in racing over fences or hurdles.
Whether at Cheltenham or one of the smaller racecourses, you will find kindred spirits enjoying a common pleasure; and trainers, jockeys, owners and punters mingling together discussing their triumphs and disappointments.
Jump racing will appeal to anyone who has a love of horses and a spirit of adventure; and, of course, the most satisfying way to take part in the action is to follow the fortunes of your very own racehorse.
Owning a racehorse can be one of the most exhilarating pastimes imaginable. Obviously, it has highs and lows but it is certainly never dull. The excitement, prestige and pure fun of owning a racehorse is a truly thrilling experience and one that is now easier than ever to enjoy.
