Learning All About Racehorse Partnerships
Owing a race horse is one of the thrills of life relatively few people know. The 'sport of kings' can be hands-on or purely a spectator sport. For those who want the excitement without the often heavy cost, racehorse partnerships can be the answer.
Owning a share of a horse gives a person all the rights and privileges of an 'owner' (a license-carrying status) without the expense that sole possession entails. Keeping a horse at the track involves training fees, perhaps stall rental, daily maintenance feed and grooming costs, farrier and jockey fees, and entry fees. In all cases, at least some vet bills will be incurred, and injury can involve both expense and time.
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.
There is also free admission to all parts of the clubhouse and grandstand, even the elevated area where trainers stand to watch their horses run. Then, of course, there's the 'holy sanctum' of the paddock and the ultimate thrill - being in the win picture - all special privileges open to owners. A win picture says it all to those in the know.
There are opportunities to join a partnership online. Thoroughbreds, standardbreds, and quarterhorses are all open to this form of ownership. Some of the top stables in the sport offer well-bred, fast horses to qualified people. One advantage to online opportunities is that the horses offered are already racing and in many cases have proved their ability to win and earn money.
Of course, going into this with an eye to making money is as risky as any investment on earth. Most winnings - if any - are taken up by expenses. The main rewards are being on the inside of a great sport, sharing the thrill of victory, and getting all the bragging rights that owning a racehorse affords. Investors who want monetary gains might want to have many shares in different animals, to minimize the risk of injury or loss.
A written agreement is truly necessary in this arena, to cover eventualities like failure to pay, wanting to sell out, or distributing insurance pay-outs. Problems arise usually because responsibilities are not spelled out for all parties. Trustworthy partners are important, since problems lessen the fun - which is the main point of the whole thing, after all.
There is a lot of information available about both the sporting side and the legalities of horseracing partnerships. This is an exciting way to have a lot of fun, if everything is correctly structures and operated.
