Thanks, jms!
To be clear, other than CFF, I own between 5-20% of the other horses as part of syndications through TValor, Polivka Equine, and Arqana. The record is directly related to their ability to spot horses and have them ready to race. I feel fortunate to have made these connections and am happy to put anyone interested in touch with these parties. Or just answer questions about what I've learned along the way as a first year owner. Just send me a PM. It's been quite a journey! Much more to learn...
While I did not lose a ton in the first year, the expenses of holding so many yearlings eclipsed the net income from purses earned. But it was good to see some early production from the younger assets. CFF was supposed to be the "earner" while the babies developed. But the 2yos wound up being the stars.
Cheers,
O
