The Uppingham Thoroughbred Racing Syndicate

As a boy at Uppingham, James Ferguson (Fgh 03) was fascinated with racing. This passion continued to grow and he has spent his entire working life dedicated to training and racing the very finest thoroughbreds in the world.

Since gaining his training licence at the British racing HQ, Newmarket in 2019, James has attracted attention as one of the leading young trainers in the country. He brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, having served his time under racing greats such as Sir Mark Prescott, Charlie Appleby and Jessica Harrington.

In a bid to share his passion and enthusiasm for thoroughbred racing with the Uppingham community, James is delighted to announce the creation of the Uppingham Thoroughbred Racing Syndicate. This will be a fantastic opportunity to join a racing syndicate and experience the thrill of the sport, as well as a chance to get together with fellow racing lovers at both social and networking events.
