A juvenile hurdler to watch- Marche D'Aligre
Marche D’Aligre is a 3 year old gelding out of a Black type winning mare (by Rail Link), whose brother- Albert's Back, was a 141 rated hurdler in the UK.
His sire, Seahenge, was a group 2 winner over 7 furlongs with an Official rating of 112. While his dam was also a winner in her own right who lost out by less than a length in a listed race at Baden-Baden (GER).
Rail Link (grand sire), was victorious in L'Arc de Triomphe. This pedigree has provided him with a great mix of speed and stamina which should greatly benefit him in his career over obstacles.
Marche D'Aligre achieved a rating of 81 on the flat in France having run 7 times, he won once and has been placed in the top 4, in 5 of his other 6 starts.
He ran very well in his final start in France finishing second by a neck after being outpaced over 10.5 furlongs, however he showed his staying ability to fight back at the line.
He is already showing a great level of consistency, while staying 1m3 on the flat and looks very strong on soft ground. This transition to hurdling looks the perfect move for an ever improving young horse.
With the perfect profile to go juvenile hurdling this winter, he could develop into a serious Triumph or Boodles (Fred Winter) type for the Cheltenham Festival in March.
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.
