If you asking yourself if you can afford it, then you can't. This isn't a car or a house (where it sometimes makes sense to try to overreach financially) it is a racehorse.
Piece of advice, you seem pretty passionate considering you are posting on this site from Brazil, START YOUR OWN SYNDICATE. Just bust your balls and go out and talk it up. Good luck whatever you decide to do. I am spending some money this fall to buy into some mares for breeding but can't wait until I get to watch the foals run in a couple years (too bad they won't be mine when they run).

Never get into owning race horses ... unless you are fully prepared to lose every penny you put into it.
If you're content to toss away money into an enjoyable hobby ... do it. If you're investing in race horses in order to make money ... forget it.

I'll give you 10-1 Bold B has never owned a horse. Though lots of what he says has a distict oder about it (like what comes from under the tail of one). Plenty of people have made money on horses. It's a huge industry. Sure, you can expect to lose while you're paying your dues. Just don't let the ignorant one discourage you. Thre are people that do quite nicely bringing horses to the states from Argentina. I don't know about exporting from Brazil, but you might want to consider that possibility. Before you jump in, I'd take Yogi Berra's advice, "You can see a lot just by observing." Good luck! DTS

Your post was the most encouraging one!... I am confortable with losing all the money I put on this horse. 10% of my monthly budget is not something I will really regret of losing it.... There are good exports from here....good horses are always going outside (Pico Central, Leroidesanimaux, Siphon, etc...)...and number are multiplying The chance I get a horse like this is the same of winning the lottery...but It is not about the money....if it comes...better! Today I will see the filly running....if she looks beautiful and runs a good race....6th is enough for me in a field of 10...I will buy it, i think.... I donīt know, and you correct me if I am wrong, but i think i can afford owning a race horse...10% of my gains is not something I would die for.... I will keep thinking....her next claiming race will be next week, if i decide to buy her... Thank you!

This is the sport of kings for a reason. You need money you are absolutely willing to lose to get in. You don't sound like that type and I'd hate to see you make the wrong move here.

Go for it FMC!
If you want to bring her to the states later, pm me. I can set up a breeding for her and pick her up after quarintine. I can also arrange reasonable farm costs. Let me know if I can be of assistance. Good luck! You know? There are many people out there that will envy you for making a bold move that opens opportunities. They are much too cautious to ever take a risk. Then they will be the first ones to want to know more about your doings. They shake their heads and mutter, "I coulda, I shoulda, I woulda." "If you never swing the bat, you ain't gonna hit a home run." - my Little League coach (many years ago). DTS

Just remember that when you read the form,these breaks in form that you see???? Well,guess what,the horse doesn't hibernate.It eats all that time,and you pay for it to eat all that time.
