FAR

Founded at Pegasus Stables, in the heart of Newmarket, our syndicates combine the prestige of owning a beautifully bred thoroughbred with the warmth and camaraderie of a private racing partnership.

Named in honour of the great Fred Archer, one of the sport’s most celebrated jockeys, our syndicates continue his legacy of dedication, elegance, and performance. Run personally by Jacko Fanshawe, each syndicate is limited to just ten partners, offering a more intimate and rewarding ownership experience.

Our philosophy:

Racehorse ownership should be a pleasure - transparent, personal, and truly memorable.

Ownership with Fred Archer Racing is as much about shared moments as it is about racing success.

Our monthly FAR Mornings invite you behind the scenes to watch your horse exercise on the Heath, meet the team, and enjoy a relaxed breakfast featuring Jacko’s renowned home bakes.

These gatherings are the heartbeat of our community - friendly, welcoming, and infused with the quiet excitement that only Newmarket mornings can bring.

“Each syndicate feels like a family - united by enthusiasm, tradition, and the love of the horse.”
- Jacko Fanshawe

Testimonials

"Having no real knowledge of horses or racing I was lucky enough to become part of FAR racing. I have learnt so much and enjoyed not only the horses that I have a share of but all of the FAR family. The joy that we all feel when there is a successful runner cannot be described and the support and interest of all creates a unique atmosphere and companionship."

Lee Masters

"I joined a Fred Archer Racing syndicate as my first venture into racehorse ownership. It has proved to be a most enjoy able experience so far, from the stable visits and going out onto the gallops to seeing the horse run and meeting other shareholders.

James and Jacko Fanshawe are always excellent hosts and the staff at Pegasus Stables also make the share holders feel very welcome. I can thoroughly recommend Fred Archer Racing as a way of becoming involved in all aspects of owning a racehorse."

Robert Grove

"After buying our first ever share in a horse with FAR we haven’t looked back. So much fun and some unbelievable memories. We now have shares in three horses, all with FAR, and I’m sure there will be more."

-
Mike & Sarah King

"Being a syndicate member in the Fred ArcherRacing is great fun. James' approach to training is putting the horses' welfare first at all times and being patient in bringing them on. Jacko has put a lot of work into building the Partnership, bringing members together socially and seeing their horses both in the yard and on the gallops. Having the opportunity to see something of how it all works from the inside has been a real learning curve and makes the race course experience so much more exciting."

Pegasus is a lovely yard, very welcoming and you allow owners to get up close and interact with their horses, which a lot of other trainers do not.

Pat Rowley

"Jacko and James run a superb outfit, lots of fun and having a horse like the Tin Man has been very special. It is a great way to own a horse, the feeling is the same if you own 10% or 100% of a winner."

-
William Russell

"One brilliant aspect of FAR is Jacko's insightful and informative weekly updates about your horse – and all the others in FAR. It really brings your ownership alive – and makes you feel part of a big racing family."

Ian Pittaway

"Jacko provides a wonderful experience for all members of the Fred Archer syndicates. James is a true horseman and a top class trainer who puts the horse at the centre of everything which is very important. It is great to have the opportunity to regularly visit the historic Pegasus Stables and get to know the hard working team behind the scenes. You are made very much part of things. The race days are tremendous fun and to have a winner is an unforgettable experience!

FAR.. fun, affordable racing, very well run, welcoming syndicates from a top Newmarket yard. You could not get a better introduction to racing."

Jan & Peter Hopper

"I was not sure I was going to enjoy being part of Fred Archer, having always had horses with the Fanshawes since James began training in 1990. However I do really enjoy the involvement and Jacko isso good at keeping us all updated, leaving James to do the easy work. Surprisingly, the 10% share brings me as much fun as full ownership with the added value of costing 90% less!"

Gary & Dan Marney

"We have been involved with racehorse ownership for the past 20 years and have enjoyed every minute of our involvement. The past five years with James and Jacko Fanshawe and the Fred Archer Racing partnerships have been the icing on the cake. Great Horses, Excellent Company and a very professional organisation. We hope to have many more years of pleasure with FAR."

Gordon & Jackie Papworth

"Being part of one of the Fanshawe’s syndicates has been a highlight of the past two years, so much fun and excitement watching our beautiful Excelleration develop through his paces and onto the race track and so many fun social occasions too, particularly Jacko’s famous breakfast parties!"

-
Tessa Derizoitis

"Nothing beats the enjoyment of being part of an ownership group and watching your horse win for the first time. I don’t know what it’s like to win the Derby, but the 7.00 at Kempton was pretty special. James and Jacko make a great team to look after and train the FAR horses."

Rob Stevens

"Some years ago, I decided to dip my toe into horse racing ownership and as I live in Barcelona it’s not that easy, butI definitely made the right choice with James Fanshawe and Fred Archer Racing, as I’ve not looked back. They are a syndicate that does very well selecting horses, and his knowledge entering them in the right races to provide winners.

Also, the stable visits are run really well, it’s always fun seeing your horse up close with their trainer. We are provided with good updates and information on our horses too.

The social side is Excellent, thanks to Jacko Fanshawe with her hands on approach meeting nice people and making new friends along the way and she makes you very welcome any time you enter Pegasus Stables.

If you are interested in going into syndicate ownership, I would highly recommend Fred Archer Racing."

Niall & Carme

"A real club atmosphere within a very hospitable environment. You may have a share in only 1 horse, but you follow all of them, and thrill to their successes. Racing is much more fun when you are with friends."

-
Dave King

"Through the Fred Archer Racing partnership we are able to enjoy ownership in several horses. The updates and pictures we receive allow us to take part in the development of the horses. Living in Norway we are still able to follow the everyday life at Pegasus Stables. It is always a pleasure to visit the yard, and we feel very well taken care of, always."

"FAR should stand for Fun and Results. I started off with a share in one horse, now I have a share in seven. What more do I need to say! FAR above the rest."

"It has been so much fun having a horse in training with James Fanshawe and being part of FAR ARCHER RACING. I couldn’t wish to have a horse in better and more fun hands."

Camilla Stroud

Hello Jacko, A rather belated note to say The FAR syndicates are great fun. Thank you, James, Tom and everyone for all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. You are very generous with your time and it is so kind of you to have us all in your home and stables plus the delicious cakes. Not many stables do. I think it is more fun to keep the syndicates to 10. You get to know your fellow owners
