The Ruth Carr Racing Club has been created to allow everybody an opportunity to experience the world of racing at an affordable price. The ability to follow the Club horses as they progress through their careers and the anticipation of a successful day at the races offers so much entertainment. Sharing this excitement and anticipation with like-minded racegoers and a visit to the yard will enhance your social life, whilst making new friends.

If you are looking for lots of fun and excitement, or a special gift for someone, then the Ruth Carr Racing Club is for you.

Colours

Our colours are kindly provided to the Racing Club by Ruth. They have been her personal racing colours for many years and have been carried by some of her favourite horses including Monaadhil who won 3 races and was placed 4 times out of 11 runs in 2022.

Meet the Ruth Carr Racing Club Horses

Horses in the Club currently are Fate’s Gambit, Daytona Lady, Wise Crack and Dawn Of Liberation.  The Club has won 14 races to date, (7th November 2026).

Fate’s Gambit

3yo bay gelding 

Fate’s Gambit is by Ubettabelieveit and out of an unraced mare.  Her only other raced protégé achieved a Racing Post Rating of 92, suggesting there is plenty of ability within the pedigree.

A tall, scopey gelding, he looks every inch the type to continue improving as he strengthens with age and experience.

Fate’s Gambit has shown enough ability to suggest he can be very competitive from his current handicap mark.

• Finished 2nd on debut over 7 furlongs in a Dundalk maiden, with the third horse from that race now rated 75, giving the form a solid look.
• Now rated 60, a mark that gives him every opportunity to be competitive at his level.
• Expected to find life easier racing this side of the Irish Sea.
• Best suited by 7 furlongs, with the scope to continue progressing as he gains experience.
• An unexposed three-year-old with relatively few miles on the clock and plenty of improvement still to come.
• We were pleased with his first outing at Carlisle but sadly returned from Redcar not quite right.  He’s had a spell of rehab and is now holidaying until the new year,

Dawn Of Liberation

6yo bay gelding, rated over 100 in his pomp.  He came into the Club May 2025 and somehow managed to win on his first time out at Beverley for the Club members! He has gone on to win again at Nottingham and at York in June. What a fantastic day out for the members at York, and nobody is suspicious of Friday 13th now!  He has a niggley foot problem which is going to take time to grow out, it has improved over the last few weeks but he won’t be seen on the racetrack until Spring 2027.

Daytona Lady

A 6yo mare by Bungle Inthejungle out of Roseau.  A new recruit to the Racing Club in September and a 7 time winner with her favourite conditions being 6f round a bend.  She has performed well since joining the Club with third and  second places .  She will retire to be a broodmare in the coming months but hopefully will add to her winning tally before then.

Wise Crack

A 3yo bay gelding by Blue Point out of Veiled Intrigue.  A tempory new recruit to the Racing Club in October, added to whilst other horses were out of action.  Has placed third in his first two runs for members, followed up by a fantastic win under Jimmy at Newcastle on 6th November.

Racing Club Open Morning April 2026

A memorable morning at Mowbray for members of The Ruth Carr Racing Club, who enjoyed a relaxed and welcoming visit to the yard.

Guests watched the horses exercising loose, took plenty of photos and saw them head out to enjoy some fresh air. There were hot drinks and more of Mum’s ever-popular homemade lemon drizzle cake, too.

Ruth and her team took time to chat about the horses and offer a glimpse into life at Mowbray. Ruth is always happy to share the thinking behind her unique training methods, and guests love hearing how the horses enjoy the freedom of turnout and are able to live as naturally as possible while in training.
