Weatherbys Ltd. is a UK conglomerate involved in a wide range of activities largely within banking and horse racing.

Under his aegis, his first racing calendar was published in 1773, followed, in 1791, by the publication of The General Stud Book, a definitive record of the pedigrees of approximately 400 horses which became the foundation for all thoroughbred bloodstock worldwide.

Today, every data detail relating to horses, owners, trainers, jockeys, stable employees and races is processed through Weatherbys.

The firm still owns and publishes the General Stud Book, recording the production of thoroughbred bloodstock in Britain and Ireland.

For the first few years, Weatherbys Bank served its traditional client cohort – racehorse owners, breeders, trainers and a payroll office for jockeys.

An office was opened in central London, and Weatherbys Private Bank was devised with wealth criteria applying, but Thoroughbred connection for clients removed.

Weatherbys Bank continued to provide services for those engaged in racing and breeding, with approximately 10,000 owners, trainers and jockeys on the books today.

In 2020, it will be 250 years since the Jockey Club appointed James Weatherby effectively as its secretary The firm has prospered since and remains in family ownership.
