- How much will it cost me to get started?
A five percent share of one of our thoroughbreds will usually be in the two to ten thousand dollar range plus expenses.
- How do the expenses work?
You are responsible for your pro rata share of horse related expenses. Expenses are billed quarterly in advance then reconciled at the end of the quarter. Currently our quarterly expense estimate is $510.00 - $570.00 for a five percent share.
- How can I earn money?
Partners earn money from the horses purse earnings, or if the horse is sold privately for a profit.
- What kind of horses are being offered?
Most horses offered are 2-year olds purchased at the 2-year old in training sales. Our intent is to purchase horses that will run at the allowance or stakes level.
- Where will the horses race?
Our stable is based in Northern and Southern California. Primarily our horses run at Santa Anita Park, Hollywood Park, Del Mar and Golden Gate Fields.
- When will the horses be ready to run?
Typically the horses will make their first start in the summer or fall of their 2-Year Old year. Like human athletes some may take longer to develop.
- Who trains your horses?
Mike Puype and Terry Knight are our trainers. Greg Gilchrist is the person responsible for picking the out young talent at the sales.
- Who is responsible for making decisions regarding the horse?
Our trainer is responsible for the training and the horse's welfare. The trainer and Blinkers On make the day to day racing decisions and as a General Partner you will vote on major decisions. As an example, selling the horse.
- What are the benefits of being a partner?
As a licensed owner you will have the opportunity to watch morning workouts, tour the stable and speak with the trainer and jockeys. You will also have free admission, paddock privileges and with a little luck... visit the winners circle.
- How do I become a Blinkers On Partner?
