Kosac d'Oudairies- a very confident ride on debut
Kosac d’Oudairies was purchased at the Cheltenham sales by Sheep as a Lamb Racing (SAAL) to be trained by Jamie Snowden and embark on a career over obstacles.
Kosac made a winning debut in his sole start to date, an Irish point-to-point at Castlelands over 3 miles. Throughout the race, he was given a patient and well-judged ride, biding his time in the field. As the race progressed, Kosac began to make his move approaching the second last fence, poised to challenge the leaders. Just as he was gearing up for his run, his nearest rival unseated their rider, giving Kosac a clear path. Seizing the opportunity, Kosac demonstrated an impressive turn of foot, quickly pulling away from the remaining field to secure victory by an emphatic 11 lengths. This performance highlighted not only his stamina but also his ability to accelerate and finish strongly, marking him as an exciting prospect for the future.
His Dam is a four time winner on the flat, providing Kosac with plenty of speed meaning he’ll be effective over shorter trips too.
Winning a point to point with such confidence shows him to be a natural jumper of a fence who shouldn't have any problems reverting to hurdles for the upcoming season.
The Irish Pointing analysis reported:
“Kosac D'Oudairies came from off the pace under a confident ride and is clearly a smart horse with plenty of speed that also stays well and he should really make his presence felt over distances in the region of two and a half miles on the racetrack.”
Meet the trainer- Jamie Snowden
Jamie Snowden has been deeply immersed in the racing world from a young age, starting his journey in pony clubs before advancing to ride in point-to-points. His passion and talent quickly became evident, and by the age of 27, Jamie had secured his position as the amateur jockey for Nicky Henderson’s prestigious yard, where he had the honor of riding winners for Queen Elizabeth II.
After achieving the remarkable milestone of 100 winners as a jockey, Jamie made the strategic decision to transition into training. To refine his craft, he learnt from some of the industry's most respected figures, including Nigel Twiston-Davies and Paul Nicholls, before taking on the role of assistant trainer to Nicky Henderson. Jamie’s dedication and drive led him to begin his training career in a small rented yard in Wiltshire, but his ambition soon propelled him to Lambourn, where just a few months later, he celebrated his first Cheltenham winner.
Under Jamie’s leadership, Folly House has seen continuous growth and success, producing two Cheltenham Festival winners and over 400 other winners, establishing Jamie as a leading trainer in the racing world. His hands-on approach and commitment to the well-being of his team—both equine and human—have fostered a loyal following and a constant stream of promising horses at Folly House.
With exciting prospects ahead, Folly House is set for another strong season under Jamie’s experienced guidance, continuing to build on its success in the competitive world of racing.

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.
