AHA Racing is excited to introduce Gideon, our Clevedon-bred Turn Me Loose – Sanzera gelding, and the latest opportunity to join one of our small Family & Friends ownership groups.
Gideon has been raised and educated with racing firmly in mind and has already impressed with his willingness to work, fluid action and calm demeanour. He is currently completing his final eight-week education and race preparation at Lilywhites Lodge before returning to our Clevedon property for a further six months of growing and development.
Racing ability runs in the family
Gideon is the second foal from Sanzera, who won twice in Brisbane before being retired with a tendon injury and returning home to our Clevedon property to begin her breeding career.
His half-brother, Dubious Express, has already shown plenty of ability, recently producing an exciting second-place finish in Sydney.
A chance to join the journey
We are offering six 10% shares in Gideon, with two already sold and four currently available.
Virginia and I will retain a 40% share ourselves and manage Gideon’s racing journey alongside the ownership group. Average monthly costs are approximately $375 per 10% share.
We are also covering the full cost of Gideon’s final education and gelding, with new owners not contributing to operating expenses until 1 October. By joining at this stage, owners are effectively stepping into a professionally educated, gelded and stable-ready horse without having shared in the significant early development costs that typically come with syndicating a yearling.
The road ahead
Once Gideon has completed his development period at home in Clevedon, he will be placed with one of New Zealand’s leading trainers, with all owners involved in that decision.
His first racing preparation is currently expected to begin around February or March 2027.
A small group, shared experience
Our ownership groups have always been about more than simply watching a horse race.
There will be a maximum of seven like-minded owners in Gideon’s group, creating a personal and social experience that includes stable visits, race days, regular updates and plenty of memorable moments along the way.
Virginia and I have now raced nine Kiwi horses with family and friends in Australia, collectively achieving 19 wins, 23 second placings and 14 thirds since late 2024.
