We are about two weeks until the first big yearling sale. Let’s review where all the different partnerships stand.
Right now it seems that only three groups are offering yearling partnerships “in the blind”. That means you invest before the horses are chosen.
- Little Red Feather has an innovative approach which seems to combine pinhooking and racing. They are raising $500,000 to buy 4 yearlings which could be sold or raced. They are taking reduced fees, but will take 10% of any sales.
- Ironhorse Racing has 3 partnerships for $60,000, $40,000, and $20,000 to buy one yearlings each. These seem to close before the sale
- Bourbon Lane also seems to be offering a partnership, but it may still be open after the sale
- Wasabi Ventures has several cheaper yearlings available already
West Point, Eclipse, Starlight, Ten Strike, Donegal, Centennial, and all the rest seem to be waiting until after the sales to raise money.
