I agree with Dougie and SDST, all my horses I owned by myself or with 1 other person. Too many cooks spoil the game

i was there that day

...... Nihilator 149.3 on Hambletonian Day, trainer Bill Haughton, driver The Magic Man,  US Pacing Championships, Meadowlands--only won by 2 lengths over Falcon Seelster....I my memory is correct Stonebridge Skipper was a distant 3rd

here is another trivia question....

name the first horse to pace a sub 150 at night time?

I was also there that day. I remembered Billy O almost dropping his whip when he put the lines in one hand to urge on Nihilator in the stretch run to the finish line.

You can leave behind all your possessions when you move, but the bad habits are going with you no matter where you go!💯

Trust me, you dont want to own a horse with partners you dont know.

I think it depends on how much you want to be involved.

On what is proposed - which seems to be at least 10% ownership - I think it's going to be tough.

IMO, if you want to partner, the sweet spot is 2-4 total partners who share a similar enough philosophy that, along with your trainer's guidance, you're going to be in (mostly) agreement.

As you divide that ownership percentage, the majority rules gets harder and more contentious. If you just want the racing experience (and potential success if you just go with the group), buy in.

If you are serious about it, you will want to limit partners to a finite number you want to work with.

Are you serious? Multiply 277 mares bred by the $20,000 stud fee per breeding. See what you get.

Yes I am serious.
Stud fees are paid on life foals only. (Stand and suck)
Not all mares bred get in foal.
Not all mares carry to term.
Not all mares deliver a live foal.
Of the 140 mares bred in 2024 to foal in 2025, there has of today only been 104 registrations. There will most likely be a few late registrations, but not many.
Sometimes a top driver is given a free breeding(s).
Sometimes the trainer is given a free breeding(s).
Confederate is owned by "The Confederate Syndicate".
Each syndicate member is allowed so many breedings per share. He may use them on his own mares or make deals with them.
After breeding many mares, for many years, and at several farms, I have found that the advertised stud fee is just like the dealer sticker on a car. Only a starting point.
