Hot to Trot Racing | The Affordable Flat Racing Syndicate

About Hot to Trot Racing

Welcome to our Hot To Trot Racing website!

We are an affordable syndicate that aims to provide our members with the thrill of racing horses at the highest of levels but for a fraction of the cost.

Founded in 2011 by Sam Hoskins and Luke Lillingston, Hot To Trot have had at least five horses in training every season since with recent stars including Heartache, who took the 2017 Queen Mary Stakes (Group 2) at Royal Ascot, 2019 Coral Charge (Group 3) winner Kurious, and most recently Group 1 placed Get Ahead. Hot To Trot Racing’s horses are leased which keeps the quality of horse up but the cost of acquiring them down.

Hot To Trot wishes to introduce as many new people to the sport of kings and to extend the interest of those who are already involved. We now have a ‘Hot To Trot Jumping’ group to run alongside the two Flat Racing groups ‘HotToTrot1’ and ‘2Hot2Trot’. The cost for an all-inclusive share in any of the syndicates is £2,350. Membership numbers will be capped at 80 for each group (90 for Hot To Trot Jumping) and members will be accepted on a first come first served basis. To get involved or for any further questions, please contact Sam Hoskins (sam@hottotrotracing.com / 07791 746119).

Benefits of membership to any of our three syndicates include..

At least five horses in training with some of the leading trainers in the UK.
Regular and in depth news bulletins on all the horses.
Complimentary badges or ballot entry for all members attending when we have a runner.
Stable visits and many other specially organised events throughout the year.
Complimentary lunch/ticket for our annual end of season lunch.
A pro-rata dividend of all prizemoney won.
A membership restricted to 80 members (90 for Hot To Trot Jumping).
Lots of fun guaranteed!

WHO WE ARE

Our Events

Don't miss out! This is a great opportunity to get involved in ownership without spending a fortune. Being involved in Hot To Trot has been hugely enjoyable and exciting - racing our horses (and sometimes winning!), stable visits, stud visits and more... Brilliantly organised and tremendous fun!

We joined when Sam and Luke started Hot To Trot and have always had terrific fun. Apart from the racing they organise really interesting things to do, i.e lunch in The Jockey Club Rooms where there is a fantastic collection of equine pictures, and stable tours which are always informative and amusing.

"Both Sam and Luke have extensive knowledge and contacts in the bloodstock and racing world which has enabled them to access some tremendous fillies. Surely, there can be no other racing syndicate producing as much "bang per buck" for all round enjoyment."

Hot To Trot is a brilliant concept that provides amazing value to it’s members It is excellently run by Sam - who also makes it lots of fun!

I don't think we could have ever imagined that we would be standing in the Winners Enclosure at the Royal Meeting at Ascot and yet with Hot To Trot and Heartache 'Dreams Do Come True'..

I think HTT is a brilliant example of how a syndicate can work and get more people into racehorse ownership. Keep up the great work.

I've loved horse racing all my life and was introduced to Hot To Trot by a friend in 2019 just as we were all starting to slow down work wise. I've met lots of lovely people and made some really good friends; it's not just about the racing, it's about enjoying the whole experience.

I joined Hot To Trot around 3 years ago, having worked in the racing industry for over 45 years. It has been absolutely great and keeps my involvement in racing, and allows me to see old friends and colleagues. It's a great experience; we are well looked after by the racecourses when we have runners and everybody is so friendly. It's a great set up.

The great thing about Hot To Trot is there are so many people from all over the country who come together with the same interest. Luke and Sam are so knowledgable and they want us to get the same enjoyment as they do. We all have so much fun together at the races, stable visits and even online.
