Why not start a race stable syndicate where 100 people throw $100 in the syndicate pool and buy a claiming horse plus have leftovers for training fees,shoes,oats and vet maintenance.So you have 10k to work with and maybe go out and get a 5-6-7k claiming horse.Who knows,maybe it would make money and in a few months a 2nd horse could be bought for the stable syndicate.Hell,$5,000 claimers at some tracks with slots-gambling make 5 k to finish 1st in a race.

Good idea but you have to account for the cost to keep the horse in training for a whole year..around 50k a year at the major tracks and 20k or so at the shitty ones. Have 20 people pony up $500, each is 5% owner, not a bad deal.Comment -
HMMMM, very interesting idea.
Problems I would see would be agreeing on which horse to buy, where to have the horse race, and maintianing a strong membership even if the horse doesn't do well. small investment really.....
definitly an interesting idea.Comment -
Tough to get that many close friends on the same page, let alone strangers. JMO.Comment -

Interesting idea! Who rules! Does one psrson represent all of us or do we do we vote? Interested. Need more info.

this sounds like an interesting idea that would be nice if people would be up for it. Usually there would be a racing manager that makes major decisions from member input. But seeing a horse run in your name would be excitingComment
