Harry Herbert

Spear’s Review

Harry Herbert is the man behind the Highclere ownership syndicate, which for the past 32 years has been marrying quality racehorses with people with money. 

The second son of the seventh Earl of Carnarvon, Queen Elizabeth II’s racing manager and part of Her Majesty’s inner circle, Herbert founded Highclere Thoroughbred Racing Limited in 1992. On behalf of the Royal Ascot Racing Club, he managed the 2005 Derby winner Motivator.

‘To own part of a stunning thoroughbred that you have seen develop from a yearling into a competitive two-year-old, or older, is unbelievably special,’ Herbert says.
