About Nick Bradley Racing

First and foremost Nick is a businessman, when a horse is purchased it is bought as a financial investment. Nick invests his own capital in the horse and does so in the thinking that at some point in the future, along with his investors, he will be able to make a profit. By adopting this policy, Nick offers his investors the maximum opportunities to enjoy racehorse ownership.
It often baffles Nick how successful businessmen and women seem to disregard the policies that have served them well and seem to see racehorse investment as a 'throwaway investment' or 'a bit of fun'.

Well at Nick Bradley Racing your investment in our stock, methodology, and way of thinking is not seen as a throwaway investment. Nick offers you the thrill of racehorse ownership, an opportunity to compete at the highest level, detailed factual information about your horse and its progress rather than hype and unfulfilled promise.

Nick has developed a reputation for being as sharp as anyone in the horse racing industry when it comes to selecting bloodstock. This is not a self labelled title Nick has given himself, regular success of buying the right horses for small budgets has seen this reputation build over the last 20 years.

Click here to read a recent interview that Nick gave to Rich Williams, where he talks in detail about his background, how Nick Bradley Racing was formed and his approach to buying horses.

Nick has chosen to focus very much on the 2yo and 3yo race programme. When at the sales he views, selects and purchases in the main, yearling and 2yo fillies to race within this programme. In essence, this allows Nick to aim to master his trade rather than being the jack of all trades. 

Nick makes all of the race entry and declaration decisions for the Nick Bradley Racing horses. He monitors the declarations tracking between 9 and 10am each morning throughout the Flat racing season. He then monitors and selects the races our horses are entered in between 10am and 12pm. This gives our horses an advantage over most other owners as Nick can monitor, select and enter horses into the races which he deems are weak for their grade. 

This means that when it comes to raceday, our horses have a greater chance of winning. 

For example, Nick entered both Dandalla and Fev Rover in the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge at Newmarket. Our fillies went on to finish first and second due to Nick's understanding of the horses we were running against as well as the track biases on the day.
