Crest Racing Launches Shares in Exciting Young Prospect CREST OF LIGHTNING (GB)
Crest Racing is delighted to offer shares in Crest of Lightning, an exciting three-year-old gelding recently secured by Anthony from the Goffs Spring Store Sale.
The family is already familiar to the team, with Crest Racing also owning his half-brother, Crest of Arms, who is in training with us. That existing connection, coupled with the strength of the pedigree and the horse’s physical presence, made Crest of Lightning an exciting addition to the Crest Racing syndicates.
By the outstanding sire Nathaniel, Crest of Lightning boasts a pedigree packed with proven National Hunt talent. Nathaniel has established himself as a source of tough, progressive and high-class jumpers, producing horses capable of competing at the very highest level.
The pedigree is further strengthened by an exceptional female family. His dam, One Gulp, was a five-time winner and has already produced multiple winners, while his second dam, Elaine Tully, produced nine winners, including the memorable Rule The World, winner of the 2016 Grand National.
This is a family that consistently produces sound, durable and successful racehorses, making Crest of Lightning an exciting prospect for the future.
Purchased for his athleticism, scope and overall presence, Crest of Lightning has all the attributes required to develop into a smart National Hunt performer. As a young horse, he offers owners the opportunity to follow every stage of his journey, from his early education through to racecourse action.
Ownership Opportunity
A limited number of one-twelfth shares are available at £4,700 per share.
The initial share purchase includes:
All syndicate set-up costs
Training and keep through to 31 August 2026
Thereafter, costs are £210 per month.
Ownership through Crest Racing provides all the excitement of racehorse ownership within a professionally managed syndicate, including regular updates, stable visits and the opportunity to follow Crest of Lightning’s progress every step of the way.
With a proven pedigree, a Grand National winner close up in his family and an exciting future ahead, Crest of Lightning represents a fantastic opportunity to become involved at the very beginning of his racing career.

Unnamed 2023 Bay Gelding
New Arrival – Lot 91 from the Goffs Arkle Sale
We were delighted to secure Lot 91 at the recent Goffs Arkle Sale, a well-related gelding by Poet’s Word out of La Sarrazine.
He comes from a proven family. His dam won six races during her career and has already produced two winners, including In To The Park and Goodnightgodbless. His full sister, Sapphos Word, has also made an encouraging start, winning her point-to-point and finishing second twice in bumpers from just three starts.
A horse with plenty of size, scope and an athletic walk, he was one that immediately caught our eye. The plan is to give him time to develop before targeting the Goffs Arkle Sale Bumper at Punchestown next April.

Unnamed 3yo Gelding
New Purchase – Lot 130, Goffs Arkle Sale
We are pleased to have added Lot 130 from the recent Goffs Arkle Sale to the string, a striking gelding by Lightning Spear out of Lady Eleanor.
He has a pedigree that immediately stands out. His dam, Mary Eleanor, showed ability on the track, placing in bumpers and winning over hurdles, while his grandam, the exceptional Lady Rebecca, was a top-class performer, winning 13 of her 19 starts including three Grade 1 races and reaching a peak rating of 170.
There is plenty of further depth to the page, with the gelding already related to two smart winners. Blue Run, in training with Nicky Henderson, made a very taking debut over hurdles when winning his maiden and was a €170,000 store purchase, while Lady Hope made a perfect start to her career, winning the £100,000 Goffs Doncaster Spring Store Sales Bumper at Newbury on her only outing to date.
Physically, he is a big, athletic type with a good walk and plenty of scope, and he was an easy horse to like on inspection. He will now be given time to develop with the long-term aim of the €100,000 Goffs Arkle Store Sale Bumper at Punchestown in April.
For further information or to reserve your share, please contact Anthony or the office on 01308 341131.
CREST RACING VIII - MARHABA PRINCE (GB) 2021
Crest Racing is delighted to be offering Marhaba Prince for syndication.
We’ve been very pleased with how Marhaba Prince has developed since coming into the yard. He’s a horse who has shown ability from early on — he knows how to win, and more importantly, he has the attitude you want in a young National Hunt horse.
What we like most about him is his professionalism. He settles well, travels kindly, and he’s shown us on the racecourse that he has both the stamina and the determination to see his races out properly. He’s been consistent, and that consistency is often the sign of a horse who will keep progressing as he strengthens and gains experience.
He’s still learning his trade over hurdles, but everything he’s done so far suggests there’s more to come. Physically, he’s strengthening all the time, and we expect him to keep improving as we place him in the right opportunities. He handles his work well at home, and we’re confident there are more races to be won with him.
From an ownership perspective, he’s exactly the sort of horse people enjoy being involved with — genuine, sound, and competitive. He gives you a run for your money and represents the yard honestly every time he goes to the track.
We genuinely believe there’s plenty of upside left in Marhaba Prince, and now is an exciting stage to come on board as we look to build on what he’s already achieved.
He’s by the up-and-coming NH stallion Postponed, who is starting to make a name for himself in the jumping sphere with such as Familiar Dreams and Zestful already advertising his prowess. Although his dam’s produce has been mainly successful on the flat, he has the size, scope and athleticism to be successful over both hurdles and ultimately fences.
Please contact us to visit the yard and see this horse in work!
