Meet a member Thinking of joining a syndicate? It’s a great way to enjoy racing, says Cheltenham & South West member Les Kerry.

Neil Mulholland started training in 2008 and achieved 17 winners in his first season. His biggest success to date is Druid’s Nephew winning The Ultima Business Solutions Handicap Steeple Chase at The Festival in 2015.
