Our members frequently send us their comments on how much they are enjoying the Club - probably because we give them a first class, personal and friendly service.  Below are a few genuine comments we have received ...

• "Still buzzing and must have watched the replay half a dozen times.  Wouldn't have missed being there for the world.  Great, in fact amazing racing and fantastic company. x" Louise from Weymouth - 22/01/22 after Whitehotchillifili's run at Ascot
• "I wanted to say a hugh "thank you" for making me feel so welcome at Chasing Gold.  I was so nervous about joining and kept looking at the website and fearing it might be heavy drinking/big gambling people!!  A nicer, friendlier group I am sure would be hard to find, and Val's reports are excellent reading.  I have so enjoyed the yard visits ..."  Marian from Somerton
• "Many thanks for my inspired choice of my wife's sub to Chasing Gold as her 2016 Christmas present ... and allowing me to tag along behind her!"  Tony from Chepstow
• "I have enjoyed every day of my Club membership and as you know I have managed to attend almost every race.  The two winners were a bonus.  I look forward to exciting times next Autumn.  Thank you for enabling me to enjoy the sport I have loved for almost sixty years at a new level." Bob from Chulmleigh
• "... a special thanks to you and Val you have both made myself and Fiona feel most welcome and made my first year such a joy. If I were to pick out a couple of highlights they would be the stable visits, Newbury on Hennessy Gold Cup Day and Wincanton with my boys meeting AP McCoy (for which I still owe you a drink). Thanks for all your hard work and I look forward to another season with Chasing Gold."  Andy from Barnstaple          
• "Looking forward to this coming season and thank you so much for giving us so much fun and running the club so well."  Stephen from Taunton
• "Thanks and congratulations to you and Val for yet another great day at Ascot,  the Chasing Gold syndicate is a brilliant concept and is without doubt one of the best investments I've ever made."  Mike from Christchurch
• "... really enjoyed the yard visits to Nick's and Colin's. the kindness and hospitality shown to us was superb. The quality and fitness of  the horses was amazing. ... I enjoy the stable visits as much as the racing. We are so glad to have joined Chasing Gold." Rachel from Trowbridge
• "Thank you for a great visit to the Tizzards. It was really nice to finally meet you and Val you both made me feel very welcome. The syndicate seems to be very friendly and I look forward to the next time."  Julie from Ascot
• "The personal touch is something that is sadly missing from a number of clubs etc I have previously been with and you deserve great credit for your thorough professional approach ... First impressions can be very revealing and I am delighted that I made the decision to join your Club."  Dave from Evesham
• "We have both thoroughly enjoyed our first year and can't wait for our next race."  Gerry from Norwich
• "We would both like to thank you so much for the two fantastic days you organised, we thought we had hit the jackpot with our day at Doncaster, the private box made our first venture with Chasing Gold so special. And as for yesterday wow!!   What can I say I am still on a high as I am typing this note, at school today I had less concentration than the children I work with!"  Gerry from Norwich
• "Thank you so much for attaching the video link so I could watch Douryna's fantastic victory at Huntingdon, so exciting.  Luckily, I remembered to ring up William Hill just in time....  This is the 1st winner since I joined Chasing Gold and although it has been the greatest fun (which is what I joined for), a win is the icing on the cake."  Deborah from Boscastle
• "Even though I haven’t been to a meeting yet I thought I’d let you know how much I’m enjoying being a member.  I went to the betting shop on Sunday and got quite excited watching  Douryna run and win so well.  There were two men standing alongside me and one said to the other that’s a good horse, we’ll have to watch out for it in the future.   I didn’t say anything to them as I did not know them, but a friend of mine who came to watch the race with me just grinned at me."  Dave from Swansea
• "I have really enjoyed my first year with Chasing Gold and hope I can continue for quite a few years!"  Sarah from Somerset
• "I think the club has performed very well over the past year to double our prize money, especially as we lost a good bit of racing due to the vagaries of the weather.  I have nothing but praise for the way the club is run and with nine horses to follow we are looking forward to the new season with great excitement."  Brenda from Verwood
• "Owning your own horse is a no-brainer!  Chasing Gold's winnings exceed my own winnings, without the costs as well!  Good luck for 2010/11 season."  Rob from Chippenham
• "Thank you so much for a really lovely day at Nick William's yard on Saturday. I enjoyed it enormously and it was so good to see Present M'Lord and Greywell Boy.  After the walk up the gallop, I am convinced that I 've gone in the wind and my pasterns are definitely not what they were!  It was lovely to meet more Chasing Gold members, and to find how friendly everyone was. All together a super day- Thank you again"  Deborah from Boscastle
• "What an amazing day and what a thrill to see our horse come out of the fog in the lead and running, flat out, to the line, to win, it's better than sex!!!???  Well done to all concerned. Perhaps we could prepare for Liverpool now?  Thank you for the thrill." Richard from Poole
• "It was an absolute joy to watch Mibleu's race yesterday.  What a star.  I am hoping to get to a race again soon with Chasing Gold.  Best wishes and thank you for all your efforts in making this a great club to be part of."  Caroline from Southampton
• "Having been in the syndicate for only 1 month you have given me 5 winners out of 6 tips, I have now made over 4 times what the share cost me!!! Thank you and keep up the good work."   Ken from Poole
• "I'd just like to thank you on Hazel and Paul's behalf for the welcome they received at the owners lunch.  We all had a very enjoyable time."   Roy from Norwich
• "I appreciate your e-mails about other horses in the trainers' stables as it keeps up the interest and adds to the enjoyment of being involved in National Hunt horse racing."  Martin from Brockenhurst
• "I thoroughly enjoy what Chasing Gold is about and know I made the right decision when to join a syndicate."  Marc from Whitehill, Hants
• "Just a line to say how much Di and I enjoyed the day in Wales on Saturday. Thank you for organising it and we look forward to seeing Baily Storm(ing) into the winners enclosure."  Richard from Poole
• “Running in the Scottish National and mixing it with the big boys together with our successes this season makes membership of Chasing Gold superb value for money.  Great stuff!  Thank you.”  Andy from Bushey
