I paid $2500 for 10% in a horse last year. Just make sure you get to know the trainer who is running the partnership. I invest in Jeff Greenhill at Turfway. He is a good man and I really like being invested in his partnership. The $2500 got me 10% but you can purchase more shares. It is perfect for me because I dont have the time or knowledge to be hands on, but I enjoy the perks of being an owner. So far, I have made back almost all of my original investment. If my horse gets claimed for $15k like we are hoping then I will make a couple of grand. But you dont own a horse to make money, you own won to stand and watch your horse grow, enter the gate and cross the finish line. That first win is so unreal.
