Dont Blame Tequila (GB)

"Dont Blame Tequila" - a name with a purpose

Homed in the iconic Loretta Lodge stables of Epsom, Dont Blame Tequila (better known in the yard as Natalie) has been under the expert care of trainer Adam West.

With access to private gallops, an equine swimming pool, and much more, Natalie has been finding her love for hurdling amid her recent schooling.

Natalie debuted in Wolverhampton at the end of last year, producing a very pleasing effort in a strong flat race that was far too short—a valuable learning curve for all involved.

With her strong lineage in champion Nathaniel, the inherited stamina shapes her up for a career over a longer distance with a season novice hurdling on the horizon.

The form of her debut at Wolverhampton has taken significant boosts of late with 1st and 4th both winning at the Goodwood festival. French Duke (4th) has already achieved a rating of 97 and since purchased for 150,000 gns.

Dont Blame Tequila made her debut over obstacles in a juvenile hurdle at Fontwell, this was a new experience for her and she showed speed but struggled a bit with the stamina, connections are looking at returning her to the flat on her next appearance.

Meet the trainer - Adam West

Adam West is one of the younger trainers in UK racing, and despite having no family background in the sport, his passion for horses began early. Growing up in Brighton, Adam’s love for racing started at age 13 when he began work experience with Gary Moore. Over two years, he progressed from stable lad to head lad, laying the foundation for his future career.

Adam's journey then took him to Ireland, where he found success as a jockey, riding winners on both the flat and over jumps. After returning to the UK, he moved to Epsom, working for John Akehurst before becoming head lad for Roger Teal, where he gained valuable experience with Group-level horses.

Taking a bold step, Adam launched his own venture at 'Woodruffe West,' a six-box yard on the outskirts of Epsom Downs. There, he established a racehorse behavioural business, which quickly gained popularity among local trainers.

In 2018, Adam took on his biggest challenge yet, moving into the historic 'Loretta' stables in Epsom. Now well-established, Adam has already enjoyed significant success from his new base, with his stable continuing to grow. Despite the demands of running his own yard, Adam remains hands-on, often sharing a car with his partner and personally driving his horsebox, which has clocked over 380,000 miles. "When I drop it in for a service, they always ask how it's still going," he jokes. "My best strike-rate is at Hamilton, and that'll be me driving!"

Epsom offers Adam the perfect balance—close to his home, he can unwind with his pet ferrets or enjoy a local pub, while just a short drive away, he can indulge in the cultural offerings of London. Adam’s dedication and passion for racing have positioned him as a rising talent in the sport, with his stable poised for continued success.

Frequently asked questions

can I expect prize money if my horse wins or places?

This varies by syndicate. As per the British Horseracing Authority's Rules of Racing legislation, 3.5-8% of race winnings go to the jockey and 6-10% to the trainer depending on the finishing position. The rest is distributed according to the syndicate's rules which are detailed in the shareholder agreement. We recommend reading the syndicate's terms carefully.

what is a racing syndicate?

A racing syndicate is a collaborative ownership model where multiple individuals combine their funds to purchase shares in a racehorse. Syndicate members contribute financially towards the initial purchase of the horse and ongoing expenses like training fees, travel costs, and veterinary care. With Equine Sales, all these expenses are conveniently covered in a single upfront payment for the year, with no hidden charges or additional fees.

are there any hidden costs?

We partner with syndicates that are transparent in their obligations. You will find a share price breakdown on the horse listing page (once you clicked on the listing card). The only potential extra costs you might encounter are related to travel and any personal expenses during in-person visits.

what happens at the end of the ownership term agreement?

At the end of the syndicate term, typically the shareholder will have the option to renew the share at a reduced price to continue following the racehorse's career. In some cases, the horse may be retired or sold, a decision usually made by the majority shareholder where shareholders may have the right to vote depending on the terms of their agreement. Typically, shareholders must seek permission from the syndicate before selling their share.
