How to Follow Your Dream to Own a Racehorse

By C. Anne Baker

Have you ever thought about how you can join a thoroughbred horseracing partnership? You may have considered where can you get started, what it costs, how to get a horse, where it will be raced, and the other questions you have about the industry. You have a lot to think and learn about if you want to consider joining a horseracing partnership.

If you are serious about becoming a partner in a racehorse the most important thing to do first is educate yourself on the industry. Talk to people already established within the industry such as current partners and owners, trainers, veterinarians, advisors, and anyone else who is actively participating in the sport.

Ask these advisers relevant questions so that you can get a better idea about how race horse ownership will be for you. You should also attend events as often as possible. The more you involve yourself in the action, the quicker you will learn what you need to know. You should also check with the closest track and see if it holds seminars about racehorse ownership.

Some questions to ask active industry professionals include:

* What is the cost for the average racehorse?

* What is the initial investment needed to secure ownership?

* What are the recurring charges associated with owning a racehorse and how often are they payable?

* How can you best purchase a thoroughbred racehorse?

* Where are the best tracks located?

* What types of risks will you have as an owner?

* When might you see an investment return?

* What exactly is a syndicate or horseracing partnership?

* What benefits can I expect as a member of a horseracing partnership or syndicate?

* Do I have to become a licensed owner?

* What kind of tax implications can I expect?

After you have spoken with people involved in the industry, you?ll know more about your financial and investment goals. If ownership is too expensive or you don?t have the confidence to invest alone, joining a horse racing partnership or syndicate is a way to invest less and take on less risk.

Remember that when you investigate horseracing as an investment, think about it objectively, consult with someone knowledgeable, and always strive for your own goals. There is a reason why thoroughbred horseracing generates so much excitement, and you should enjoy your involvement while investing wisely.
