Atomic Force (pictured above) proved a huge success story for our Kevin Ryan horse racing syndicates.

Bought for just £22,000, he won two Group races and was sold on to race abroad, providing a massive profit for his owners.

Glass Slippers is just one of Kevin’s many Group 1 winners and made history when becoming the first European horse to win the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint.

Royal Ascot is often regarded as the pinnacle of British Flat racing and Kevin has a fine record at the meeting and regularly wins big Saturday handicaps like the Ayr Gold Cup, too.

Kevin’s outstanding eye for a horse explains his many big sales race wins with horses bought for £40,000 or less, reminding us of Kevin’s ability to source a quality bargain for our northern horse racing syndicates.
