Viral sensation Big John, who has found fame for his colossal Chinese orders and 'Bosh!' catchphrase, has been used in promotion of the runner.
Wearing ill-fitting silks, a jockey cap and goggles, he appeared in one video championing the filly and said: "I'm Big John and I'm here to see the Bosh Soldier!"
But after being bought by 14-time Champion Jumps Trainer Paul Nicholls' daughter Meg for a shade over £24,000, Bosh Soldier is yet to earn a penny on the track.
Trained by the respected George Boughey, who won the 1,000 Guineas with Cachet in 2022, Bosh Soldier has raced three times.
She finished last of seven on debut at Yarmouth in May when sent off 18-1 under former Champion Apprentice jockey Billy Loughnane.
Her next outing came a month later at Chelmsford when she finished last again over six furlongs at odds of 66-1.
Then, at Newmarket this month, Bosh Soldier was sent off 150-1 under jockey Grace McEntee for a seven furlong maiden for fillies.
She was always behind and finished totally tailed off, beaten a massive 50 lengths with only one horse behind her.
Bosh Soldier qualifies for an official rating now and she may well prove a totally different prospect thrown into handicaps.
Especially as shrewd trainer Boughey has shown in the past he knows exactly how to place one to win.
But Bosh Soldier's performances - and the cost of shares - have caught the attention of some punters.
Especially given she has been beaten a combined 97 lengths on her three runs.
One punter said she had looked 'terrible' on the track while another wrote on X: "This filly has been running like Big John has been riding her himself."
What the owners say about Bosh Soldier
Anyone can buy a share in Bosh Soldier, with prices starting at £60.
Here's what Racing Club, who run the syndicate, have to say about the horse...
Calling all Bosh Soldiers! Introducing our first horse to be based in Newmarket, Bosh Soldier, who is in training with Classic winning trainer George Boughey.
This stunning chestnut filly is in collaboration with John Fisher, AKA Big John – hence the name Bosh Soldier!
The two-year-old has a striking pedigree, having been sired by Sergei Prokofiev, who was a Group 3 winner and placed in Group 2 Coventry Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Since being sent to stud, he has sired the likes of Arizona Blaze (Group 3 winner and Group 1 runner-up) and Enchanting Empress (Listed winner).
Sergei Prokofiev's sire Scat Daddy was a two-time Grade 1 winner and has been a phenomenal source of producing horses with plenty of raw speed.
With plenty of pace in her pedigree, we're confident that Bosh Soldier will have the speed to blitz her rivals!
Bosh Soldier is our first horse in training in Newmarket, which is considered the 'headquarters' of horse racing, as well as being our first horse with trainer George Boughey.
The Group 1-winning trainer has gone from strength to strength since saddling his first winner in 2019, and we cannot wait to see him train Bosh Soldier, who looks set for a productive two-year-old campaign in 2025.
The syndicate consists of 2,000 shares, with each share purchased equating to a 0.05 per cent shareholding in Bosh Soldier.
In fairness, Racing Club VIP, who run the syndicate, have made clear before each of Bosh Soldier's runs that they have been about her gaining experience.
And prior to her most recent outing, Boughey said: "Bosh Soldier is yet to show on the track what she's been showing us at home.
"She's still a work in progress, but she's got ability."
Syndicates are a great way to get into racing and this year has shown how good the horses can be.
Middleham Park Pacing have finished runner-up in the Derby and Irish Derby with Lazy Griff, winning more than £500,000 in the process.
While social media star Basher Watts won the French 1,000 Guineas with Shes Perfect - before the result was overturned in the stewards' room.
So while Bosh Soldier is yet to return a profit, there is hope for the future at least.
And she has some eyecatching entries.
Bosh Soldier has been put in the Somerville Auction Stakes at Newmarket on August 23, where victory is worth more than £50,000.
And she could line up in October's Tattersalls October Auction Stakes, where a win would net owners £80,000.
Either of those would certainly pay for a few takeaways.

Horse racing tips: ‘He's a class act' – Templegate's NAP to strike for daddy-daughter duo at the Racing League
TEMPLEGATE'S Thursday tips are below - where he fancies a father-daughter duo to strike gold in the Racing League. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. DOSMAN (7.10 Yarmouth, nap) Nobody takes the Racing League more seriously than the Osbornes and they can have a winner on opening night with this four-year-old. He returned from nine months off with a mighty second at Newcastle, travelling like a class act before just being run down late. That form is working out and he'll be fitter now with Saffie on board. MILLER SPIRIT (8.10 Yarmouth, nb) Is working up to a win. He ran his best race for a long time when fourth at Ascot last time. He was just two lengths off the pace in that hot contest and has dropped nicely down the weights. WAVE RIDER (8.40 Yarmouth, treble) He is rarely out of the frame and had plenty in hand when scooting in at Sandown last month. He's had a little break since then and has enough to strike again. SECRET BEACH (5.40 Yarmouth) Has come on plenty this season after a wind op. He bolted up at York last time over this trip and looks fairly handicapped on a mark of 77. He goes on any ground and looks good for the Lucky 15. Templegate's tips Commercial content notice: Taking one of the offers featured in this article may result in a payment to The Sun.

Hayynah could be another to Star for Sangster
The daughter of Showcasing has shown great potential when hitting the crossbar in two outings to date and her handler is optimistic a step up to seven furlongs can see her thrive in a race he has made his own in recent years. Sangster said: 'She's the only one in there who hasn't won, but we feel her seconds have been good performances that can be marked up a bit. 'I hope the step up to seven furlongs will bring about some improvement and she's a home bred of owner Ahmad Ziad Galadari so it would be nice to go there and pick up some black type.' It was Shuwari who helped advertise Sangster's ability as a trainer when landing this race in 2023, and after Celestial Orbit repeated the dose 12 months ago, the Manton handler admits the pressure was on to find another suitable candidate for this year's contest. He added: 'It's been a lucky race for us so I wanted to find something nice for it. I'm not sure she's of the calibre of the fillies we've run in the race the last two years, but she seems to be progressing. 'There's only 10 days between this and her last run at Windsor which is perhaps a little soon, but I don't think she had an overly hard race last time and hopefully the stiff nature of the finish at Sandown might be beneficial for her. 'It's not a big field but there's some nice fillies in there who have won good maidens, so no doubt there is a bit of depth to it.' Hayynah is among a field of eight for the feature event on Thursday's card, with Richard Hannon's taking Newmarket scorer Orion's Belt chief leading the opposition. John and Thady Gosden won this with Inspiral in 2021 and rely on Albany Stakes seventh Nandita, who steps up in trip while dropping in grade, with Charlie Johnston is another to win this race in recent years and his Jennifer Jane is already proven over the distance after a runaway win at Wetherby on her second start. Edward Smyth-Osbourne's Haydock scorer Tavana, Karl Burke's Hope Queen and James Ferguson's Electoral College have all raced once and one once, with Eve Johnston Houghton's Mystic Moment the most experienced in the field and set to make her fifth start after opening her account at Epsom.
