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...

Default Dutrow

Didn't Dutrow sit out of Saratoga for illegal substances found in his horse(s)... I believe a guy name Rodriguez took over for him.

Not so sure i would want someone like that as a trainer
Although it would certainly explain his high winning percentage
but not necessarily what is best for the animal...

Proceed with caution

Dutrow is the best trainer out there right now. If Lansdon has horses with him, that is enough for me

He did not sit out saratoga. His postive is the same as pletcher received a suspension for that he has appealed. Mepivicaine. An anesthetic. Not something you hop up a horse with. he won two breeders cup races after that and trained the HOY. Thast good enough for me.

Jerry leave this sort of childish joking at the other site.
For the record, Seatlle was trying to make a joke, I do not buy horses for him.
