THE Westcountry’s Jimmy Frost has joined forces with a new racing syndicate that donates all profits to charity.

4Racing Owners’ Club was established in 2020 as an affordable way for people to have an involvement in racing. But unlike most other syndicates, all profits are donated to the charity of the trainer’s choice.

Frost will train Gracefull Dancer for the syndicate at his yard near Buckfastleigh on the edge of Dartmoor. Ginge, as he is known at home, will be ridden where possible by Frost’s record breaking daughter Bryony.

One hundred shares are available, costing just £325 per year, giving syndicate members an affordable way to get involved in horse racing.

Graham Arnold, who co-founded the syndicate says: "My interest in racing started from a very young age and we had many family outings to Epsom, Lingfield Park, Kempton and other southern courses.

"The passion remains and I am in awe of these magnificent animals and the work and dedication by the people who look after them. We wanted to have a horse in a smaller yard so that our members have a greater sense of involvement. We don’t take any costs or fees and at the end of the year anything surplus is donated to charity."

Mr Frost adds: "It’s a great concept that we’re excited to be a part of and we’re looking forward to getting Gracefull Dancer on the racecourse. It’s great to be a part of 4Racing Owners’ Club and getting to know the people involved. We’ve already had one members’ day, which was a great success, and look forward to welcome members here during the season."

Mr Frost’s 30-year career as a jockey earned him some 500 winners including the 1989 Grand National riding Little Polvier and the 1991 Champion Hurdle on Morley Street. He also twice rode the winner of the Breeders’ Cup Chase in Maryland, USA.

Bryony is the all-time leading female jockey. She was the first professional female jockey to win a Grade One race over jumps at the Cheltenham Festival Ryanair Chase and the King George VI Chase, riding Frodon.

4Racing has already donated to Racing Welfare and Riders’ Minds. Frost has chosen to support the Course To Course Charity Walk, a charity walk to every racecourse in the UK in 2022, that will raise funds for The Injured Jockeys’ Fund, Macmillan Cancer Support and the Alzheimer’s Society.
