Meet The Team At Racing Club

At Racing Club, it’s important to us that horse racing is not just a sport, but a lifestyle and a community. Our team believe in the power of camaraderie and the joy of shared experiences. Our foundations are built on the strong bonds of friendship, ensuring that every member feels welcomed and valued in our horse racing community.
Our History
The foundations of Racing Club weaves together the threads of great friendship, shared experiences, and an unwavering passion for the captivating world of horse racing. It begins with a fortuitous gathering of a team of exceptional and highly motivated individuals, each contributing their unique experiences, global networks and will to win and whatever it is that they put their energy and drive into. Among this remarkable group, TV personality and Sunday Times bestselling author Jordan Wylie MBE and Cheltenham festival winning trainer Jamie Snowden, comrades who had stood shoulder to shoulder during their military service, formed an unbreakable bond built over 20 years of friendship.

As their military days transitioned into new endeavours, the duo crossed paths with another former military man from the RAF, an extraordinary individual named Gary Gillies. A successful entrepreneur with a background in affiliate and digital sports marketing and gaming, Gary brought his infectious passion for horse racing as an owner and investor to the table. His expertise in affiliate sports and gaming markets elevated their shared vision, adding new dimensions to their collective journey. The trio’s circle expanded further with the arrival of mutual friend Darren Colebrook, a seasoned marketing and advertising professional with a global perspective. Armed with extensive experience, Darren’s profound understanding of the industry and commitment to excellence bolstered their aspirations. His insights and skills enhanced their ability to create remarkable experiences within the Racing Club.

Completing the team of founding directors and business partners is Richard Jaques. A veteran in the field, Richard has spent over two decades in and around the Horse Racing Industry with roles covering Brand, PR, Sponsorship and overseeing overall marketing strategy for brands including the Jockey Club, Betfair, Coral and Racing TV. You might also occasionally see him providing betting updates on Sky Sports Racing. Richard’s invaluable experience became a cornerstone of our syndicate’s marketing endeavours. Together, these great friends with a shared love and passion for sport, racing, and unforgettable moments, realised that their collective talents and unwavering dedication could form the foundation of an exceptional new exciting project for others to get involved with and benefit from, Racing Club was born…
