Tillaway
Tillaway boasts a pedigree that commands attention. By the promising sire Jetaway, she shares lineage with notable mares like the Grade 1-winning Brandy Love and the Listed winner Space Tourist, both of whom have made their mark in the racing world. On her dam's side, the consistency is just as strong, with her mother having placed 13 times and won a novice hurdle by an impressive 21 lengths.
Her early racing career shows the promise of a horse with much to offer. On her debut, she was notably green, requiring careful handling by her jockey. Despite this, she made significant progress through the race, moving up from 8th position with five furlongs to go, to finish a respectable 4th, only 12 3/4 lengths behind the winner. It was a solid first outing, with clear signs of potential.
In her second start, Tillaway demonstrated a marked improvement. She traveled much more professionally, although she initially struggled to keep pace in the home straight. However, once she found her stride, she finished strongly, narrowing the gap to just 5 1/4 lengths at the finish. It's clear that she is still learning, but each race sees her taking another step forward.
The form of her most recent run has taken a significant boost with the second placed horse winning a maiden hurdle by 5 lengths. Tillaway looks set to run in September over hurdles and is expected to come on a lot for that run.
Tillaway is thriving since arriving at Down Farm, showing noticeable improvement in her work and enthusiasm since settling in and looked to have plenty of ability after a recent racecourse gallop. An exciting season awaits.
She is set to make her UK racecourse debut in a bumper at Worcester October 16th and has shown plenty at home to make connections excited for her first start for the Honest Partnership.
The Honest Partnership
The Honest Partnership is a syndicate set up by 2 great friends Ed Walker and Zac Beim.
Ed who is assistant trainer to Nicky Henderson and Zac a professional polo player with an infectious passion for Horseracing. Together they have created the Honest partnership, which aims to give owners a unique and full ownership experience at an exceptional entry level price.
With Tillaway being trained by Tom George, the strong connection to France through his son Noel George's yard adds an exciting opportunity for the syndicate. If it suits, the option to race in France, where prize money is highly lucrative, could be a compelling choice for Tillaway. This international avenue offers an attractive and easily accessible option, should the syndicate members choose to explore it.
Meet the trainer- Tom George
Tom has called Down Farm his home for his entire life, cherishing it as the place where he grew up. Since obtaining his first training license in 1993, Down Farm has evolved into a cutting-edge training facility for thoroughbred racehorses.
Tom’s journey as a trainer began with his initial winner, Newton Point, at Worcester in September 1993. Over the years, he has leveraged his vast experience and deep understanding of thoroughbreds to secure over 700 winners, including 10 at the coveted Grade 1 level.
In recent times, Irish-bred horses and Point-to-Point graduates have become a cornerstone of Tom's success, contributing to notable Grade 1 victories at the Aintree Grand National Festival with Black Op and The Worlds End, as well as the 2018 Cheltenham Festival winner Summerville Boy.
The consistency of the team, combined with the careful selection, placement, and training of the horses, has resulted in sustained success, a strong win and place-to-runner ratio, and tremendous enjoyment for everyone involved.
In recent years Tom has reduced his number of horses so to support his son with owners and develop young horses ultimately destined to run in France under the Noel George and Amanda Zetterholm name. Last season was their best ever, achieving a 20% strike rate from 224 runners with 56% placing.

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 do the cards mean?

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.
