Learn About Racehorse Partnerships Online

By Stacey Burt


The internet is a great resource for those who want to learn about new opportunities. Owning a racehorse is beyond the scope of many people, but racehorse partnerships are bringing this thrill within reach. By going online, those who want the excitement that come with 'the sport of kings' can learn about what is involved, the risks and rewards, and the legalities.

An 'owner' has many privileges denied to the average race fan. They also incur the heavy costs of keeping a horse at the track and competing in races. There will be farrier and veterinarian fees, jockey and entry fees, and costs for insurance. Daily care requires the services of a trainer, groom, exercise boy, and perhaps hot-walker. There is also the feed, hay, and bedding. All of this adds up to forty or more dollars a day, depending on track and quality of racing.

Owners can visit the barn area - the backstretch - where daily tasks go on and horses go out for morning exercise and work-outs. This area is open only to licensed trainers, owners, exercise riders, jockeys and their agents, and grooms. For many, the backstretch is the most romantic part of the sport. There is hustle and bustle in the mornings, peace in the afternoon, and focused preparation at race time. After the race, there is a time of putting the horse to rest - cooling out, watering off, blanketing and bandaging - and the blow by blow replay of either victory or defeat.

Ownership also involves free admission to all parts of the clubhouse and grandstand, including private boxes for watching the races and an exclusive dining area. Owners can visit the paddock before a race and the winning circle when their horse crosses the line in front. They can be in the win picture - and get an unbeatable wall decoration/souvenir.

Thoroughbreds are offered online to those who want a share, as are standardbreds and quarterhorses. Top stables advertise horses already racing and earning money. The information provided details what is involved, including the name of the stable which will manage the entity and the trainer who will make most decisions. Interested parties can find lists of privileges and responsibilities.

This from of investment carries a lot of risk, but those who going into it are seldom looking for monetary profits. They are seeking to share in the excitement and live the dream of fame and fortune that racing affords. True financial investors often have many shares of different animals, like people who invest in mutual funds to minimize risk and maximize gain.

Trustworthy partners, good management at the top, and a clear, written agreement are vital to success. Partners may fail to pay their share or want to sell out, so remedies for this sort of scenarios must be established in writing. This protects the interests of all partners.

For information on opportunities, legalities, and horses up for sale, go online. There are also great pictures of magnificent animals running with all their heart. This is an exciting way to participate in a sport with immense history, romance, and excitement.
