  1. go on line to drf2000.com and click on the classified section. you will find plenty of racing stables looking for partners....i have a friend in so. California that takes in partners. you can go to Rey enterprise.com..tell him the turf-man sent you. good luck and racing.


  2. Move to france, and have a piece pan fried, and served, on a bed of wild organic rice. Dont forget a nice impish little burgundy to accompany. Enjoy!!!

  3. There are plenty of partnership opportunities available that may cost a few hundred bucks to upwards of $30,000 or more.

    If you are looking to invest for fun, try the HorseHats racing club.....for a few hundred dollars you can get involved in the game (you will need to get on the e-mail list for the next investment opportunity, though, and they sell out pretty fast).

    To perhaps take a bigger step - and make a bigger investment - several Ohio breeders/owners have put a package together of runners who will mostly race in that state. Information is available through the Ohio Breeders and Owners Association.

    If you have several thousand dollars or more, Bongo Racing, West Point Thoroughbreds and Adena Racing Venture may be opportunities to explore.

    The ones above are partnerships I know about and may have invested in over the years. As with any investment, you need to weigh the negatives and positives, and realize first that if you can't afford to lose the money, don't invest in the game.

    Thoroughbreds are fragile athletes, but nothing beats having a runner in a race, in particular if you can get into a partnership at a local track and watch the racer train & race in person.

    If you would like further information on investing in racers, try the NTRA website, which is an excellent source for information on the industry.

  4. Wait til the Grand National has run next and then drop into your local petfood store LOL

  5. you can join syndicate's and own a percentage.

  6. Google Team Valor Stables on your comp. They are always looking for investors from small to large to get in on any number of racehorses. Of course they spend large amounts on some of their horses so you may only get a small piece, but a small piece of something is better than a big piece of nothing.  As an aside to Katlyn, I thought racehorses came fully assembled when they were foaled. I didnt know that they were kits you had to put together

  7. You'll have to buy the whole thing and have it properly assembled if you want it to win races.

    Seriously, search for a site that lists horses for sale in your area.  You should be able to find some that offer fractional shares.

  8. Check out this site, you maybe able to get some contact info of people looking to invest.

  9. If by a "new race horse" you mean one that has not run yet, you are most likely looking at buying a two year old.  Your best bet is to contact a trainer you like and ask if they have any shares available in any of their horses.  Many trainers will have bought yearlings last year, or breeze-up horses this year, with a view to selling shares in them once they go into training.

    As a rule of thumb it costs about £16,000 per year to keep a horse in training in Great Britain, so you need to allow a percentage of that as annual costs.

    You other alternative is to join one of the large syndicates like Elite Racing.  Their annual membership costs about £120 per year and for that you are "part-owner" of about 30 racehorses and about 10 broodmares.  However, there are currently 18,000 members of Elite Racing, so it is not exactly exclusive!  Check their website for more info: http://www.eliteracingclub.co.uk/nonmemb...

    Just remember that owning a racehorse is a hobby: very few people ever make money out of it.
