We offer a unique opportunity to get involved in horse racing and race horse ownership, we provide weekly updates on the horses, stable visits are arranged on a monthly basis where you can get up close and personal with the horses, trainers and stable staff as well as watching the horses on the morning gallops.
On race day we supply you with a fantastic day out with owners and trainer passes to get you in the parade ring with the trainers and jockeys and hopefully the winners enclosure. We guarantee you a fantastic time and a good laugh along the way, you will not be disappointed.
Rogues Gallery Racing is not like most other racing syndicates, it’s done purely for the love of racing.

Ed Bethell - Trainer
An accomplished rider and horseman – hopes of a career as a jockey were dashed due to his 6ft 4in frame – Edward set out on a path to follow his father James into the training ranks by amassing as much experience as possible with some of the biggest names in the sport.
-
Upon leaving Stowe School, where he gained three A-Levels, Edward began his work experience with bloodstock agent James Delahooke, the man who unearthed champion Dancing Brave for Prince Khalid Abdullah. He then spent several months under the tutelage of Newmarket maestro William Haggas, whose string at the time included top-class duo Mukhadram and Dancing Rain.
Following a stint as pupil assistant to his father at Thorngill, where his duties ranged from riding work on the gallops to making entries and looking after owners at the races, Edward began an internship at US auction house Fasig-Tipton, gaining a superb insight into bloodstock sales. He also worked as a stud groom at the famed Coolmore Stud in Ireland, handling some of the world’s top broodmares.
A pupil assistant role with Australian legend Gai Waterhouse saw Edward enjoy seven months down under. He assisted with the breaking in of yearlings, rode track work on some of the best horses in the yard, saddled runners at the races, and helped with all aspects of office work, from race planning to writing blogs for the trainer’s website.
In April 2016, Edward became assistant trainer to Charlie Hills in Lambourn, working with a number of high-class performers including outstanding sprinter Battaash. From there he went to work for Francois Rohaut in France, helping to manage a stable of 120 horses, riding out, travelling horses to the races and writing monthly horse reports. More recently Edward has acted as assistant trainer to Robert Cowell just outside of Newmarket.
Edward understands the importance of excellent communication with owners and the increasingly vital role of digital technology and social media in horseracing. He is determined to build on the achievements of his father, who trained for 46 years and won plenty of good races with inexpensive horses.

A great achievement given it has been achieved with a relatively small string of horses. The yard continues to grow and James is always on the lookout for new horses and owners to join the yard.
All year round, James and his team pride themselves on offering attention to detail that is second to none. This allowed James and his team to be known as one of the biggest and most successful pre-trainers in the area before taking out his licence.
As a former successful amateur jockey, James has a passion for Point-To-Pointing and now enjoys training a small string of Point-To-Pointers alongside his wife Jenny. They have gained some quality open horses and have been very competitive both in East Anglia and nationally over the past few seasons.
During the summer months, James trains a string of Arabian racehorses and since starting this career he has secured the UK Arabian Champion Trainer’s Title five times.
