Question - Agency
 

People, can you help with a question?

Is there any service in the US (or anywhere in the world) that allows people to buy a "share" on horses? I mean, a service provider which works like an agent, looking for some people who don't have the money to buy and mantain a horse on their own, but want to have one. And, this way, buy a horse together with other 10 or 15 people that they don't know (with this agent intermediation).

I want to study something about the issue, because I don't know anything like this in my country and I want to look for something like this.

Thank you!

Hey FMC, did you see Branca Como Neve (BRZ) finished a solid 2nd at Santa Anita on Sunday??

Yeah...I saw it! She is a very good filly!
And there was another brazilian horse that made his debut this weekend and got a very good 2nd place too...his name is Out of Control.
This year's Dubai Carnival is full of brazilian very strong horses!

Fmc,
There are more then a couple here in the US, but I'll let someone with more industry knowledge then I respond as to the best ones.

Thanks skippy! I'll wait for them!

Can you mention them for me just to search??...and then I wait for the experts to tell me the best ones.

I've bought shares through several stables in claimers and 2yo's. Kinda what DT stable is hoping to do.

Which stables have this kind of option??

Can you tell me this DT stable website, please?

thank you!

I don't know of any "agency" to speak of. However, if you are just talking about one of these "partnership" companies, syndicates, etc. -- there are tons and tons of them. They advertise all over the place -- the DRF, BH, TT, both print and online. Just browse around some of these places and you can't miss them.

As far as a recommendation, I don't think anyone can make a good one as there is much information missing -- potential investment level, expectation, racehorse, yearling, timeframe, etc. However, I will say that and tell everyone the very same thing when they ask me about investing in these partnerships -- do it to have fun but expect to lose money because chances are very high that you will. You'll have fun with some of them but you'll lose money with almost everyone of them.

The invesmtment is supposed to be real "throw away money" so you really should look at it that way.

The Derby Trail partnership is somewhat different so you should look there if just for the experience.

I know Eric...its just for the fun indeed!

thanks for the info...i will take a look!

This is west points webpage fmc

I can't make a recomendation because i have never used them, but I only hear positive comments about them. It will at the least, give you an idea of costs and what not. Hope it helps.

Thanks a lot skippy! I will take a deep look!

Anytime, I can give you a couple of others if you need them, but that is far and away the most informative website.

FMC, Impossible Ski is a nice horse. Lots of very serious ARG, and BRZ horses over at carnival.

You're right!!
Next thursday I can point some of the brazilian very strong horses....but there are others running, too:

Najah Al Shindagha Sprint (gr.III) - Para-Choque, Hay Luz Delsol and Aliysa;
Shahrazade Trophy - Greetings;
Asian Racing Federation Stakes - Express Way...Never ran here on Brazil, but with a solid campaign on South Africa.

See you!

Alisya isnt training real well, I would lay off for the time being. She wont run well.

I didnt know that! thank you for the info...do you know why is that? She was the best 2yo filly here in Brazil when she left, specially on the dirt.

Im not sure why, shes just not going as well as she was in BRZ. I spoke with the camp yesterday and they said she just wasnt the same filly so far over there. Maybe she will jump up and surprise us, she has it in her. Hoping for the best
