Talk to Lansdon and ask him. He'd have to buy it and then sell the shares in it. If you wanna win a race at Toga, I'd have to start looking now. We'd want one we could race at about the level we bought it for to we could get a purse and if someone claims it wed get out on it. Thats how the game is played kids.

It really depends on the financial end of it. I think people would throw down $100 or $200 but I have seen some of those shares cost $1k-$2k for one share.

Scav isn't that much of a brawler, but I would definitely throw 500 into this kitty

Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I understand that the hardest part is decision making. That is why I would trust you guys not some partnership scam.

As long as the investors do not stick their noses into your business.
I would believe you would do what is right for the horse/owners.

I would be in the 10-15K range for my part.

Steve and I, along with a bunch from the ESPN board almost privately bought a horse at Gulfstream earlier this year (ultra cheap claimer) but the trainer pulled out. I'd consider doing something. A bit tight financially for me right now trying to save to buy a condo.

I'm all over a grand for one. How would we split up the monthly cost and such? Where to base it at and who to train will be the easy part. I pay $25 for a trainer now and the monthly cost of feed is added to it. Usually somewhere's around 7 grand a year and she made has made a lot of it back. We're 50% owner in her.

i've already told tony i want to get involved in partnership(s) sooner the better....seems a good way to get into the game, more affordable, and spreads the risk.
however, anyone getting involved would have to understand exactly what they were getting into, and also how to get out if necessary. not something to be jumped into without some planning, info, etc.
maybe my 'someday' will be sooner rather than later...

Oracle and I have been in talks in selecting a horse to buy, I hope he picks me out a good one. We also plan on goin down for next years 2 yr old sales.
