My goal is to eventually look at all the partnerships. OwnerView has a list of 66 of them:

This will take some time, but let’s review a few
- Starlight is probably the most expensive. They have an imposing list of 2-yr olds mainly with Baffert and Pletcher. I guess I will ask how much it costs to play, but it is not cheap. https://starlightracing.com/starlight-current-roster/
- Myracehorse.com is maybe the least expensive way to get involved. They bought a few more nice horses at Ocala July. They are offering “micro-shares”, for as little as .001% of a horse for around $200. They have the favorite in the first 2-yr old race at Saratoga today. Their last internet ad was much better and did “over-promote”.
- Crown’s Way Racing is another option for under $1,000. They have a group of five horses, 2 unraced 2-yr olds, 2 recent $15,000 claims, and a very solid allowance horse. Tony Rallo is an experienced owner, and they use trainer Carlos Silva. It is an interesting collection of horses that hope to run at Arlington this summer. I will keeping an eye on their progress.
- Centennial Farms has a long history. They seem to be only high end yearling buyers. They are offering 5% of a $500,000 yearling purchase for $40,000. He is colt with no works named Necco. They also have another 4 horse yearling partnership that appears to be closed. I will be watching.
- Pocket Aces Racing is a medium size operation based at Belterra/Churchill. They have an impressive 20% win percentage. Right now they are offering shares in a 2-yr old Mshawish colt with some interesting pedigree. I need to learn more.
- Twin Creeks is listed under partnerships, but their website does not provide any information. Pass
- Taste of Victory Stables is an interesting group. They offer small partnerships that combine two year olds and an existing horse. More interestingly they specifically offer “private management” services that sound like they might help you set up your own partnership. This could be an interesting option.
- Top Hat Thoroughbreds is a medium size group that bought two horses at Ocala for $4,000 and $7,000. That is what I call value shopping. I will send them an e-mail.
- Bush Racing Stable is mainly claimer in Penn and Maryland
- Blue Streak is only two years old, and does not have a current offer
- Country Life is offering a son of Diving Rod, I guess a Maryland sire. pass
- Don’t Tell My Wife Stables is right down the road in Ft. Worth, but has no offers
- Beach Haven is Monmouth guys with only one horse
- Bloodlines racing has a Noble Mission offering that is mildly interesting, small operation
