Despite the big money numbers I quoted, it's been an investment that has returned a huge profit in many areas, but unfortunately not in financial terms. Because it's an ownership group numbering around 18,000 at the last count, I barely own a hair on the tail of each horse. That has never stopped me seeing it as 'my horse' whenever one of them runs. I've experienced a paddock place and the winner's enclosure when I've been lucky in the ballot. The experience of watching a horse run, then go to stud and produce a foal that runs in your colours has been priceless to me. I think i961pie is the only one I know on here to have dipped a toe into group ownership, and while I suspect he wouldn't have made a financial profit, I would bet he doesn't regret his involvement.

Regarding Ann & Alan Potts, their colours have been iconic for many years and it will be a sad day when they are no longer seen.
