hi videogirl. well 1 way of getting involved in ownership in the sport is through a partnership. they have 1 here in chicago called get in the picture stable run by trainer mike campbell. basically its 5k for a share but you pay no bills throughout the year and get all the perks of being a owner, you also own a piece of several racehorses. at the end of each year the partnership is broken up and money is divided up and you can rejoin the next year if you want. this is a very good way and a inexpensive one to get involved. im a owner by myself of a active racehorse and have been for the past year and a half and with the day rate you pay the trainer each month and vet and possibly shipping costs it gets very expensive financially doing it all on your own especially if your horse isnt winning races LOL. the only problem with a partnership like the 1 i mentioned for me atleast is you dont get to be that hands on, they pick the horses, they pick the jockeys etc etc etc, thats just not for me personally but its a tremendous and about as inexpensive way as youre gonna get to get involved in owning in this game
