Buying a Racehorse

[Sledge187]

Anyone ever tried this before? What are the pros/cons.

[jjgold]

Maintenance fees are horrific it's like any other business most of the time it will not be profitable

[CWD]

watch hbo luck season one they show the process pretty well

[biggie12]

I have a couple that run at woodbine

Food and housing will cost you $35-50 a day. + trainer + vet fees. + transportation if u are not keeping at the track. Lots and lots of fees involved it's only my 3rd year as a part owner feel free to ask any questions I can try to answer.

Agreed. Excellent show done in by Hollywood homos.

[daneblazer]

I keep mine in the back yard. Free lawn care

[phillybadboy]

I also have a racehorse

[pavyracer]

How about buying a regular horse first and see how you cope with it. I tell you what. Cleaning horse poop is not fun.

Do you regret getting involved?

[phillybadboy]

I win a lot of races down at the track

[packerd_00]

Its gotta cost a bomb,these wealthy snobs wouldn't get into it if it wasn't an expensive hobby.

[manny24]

wave a bunch of carrots and hgh in front of him for one last go around

ride off into sunset

Biggie, I forgot if I already asked this but, what are the horses names?

[str]

I have had a thread about all things horse racing, for 5 years in the horse racing forum.

I trained a large stable for about 25 years.

Ask away in that thread.

I will answer any questions you have to the best of my ability.

[Rio DiNero]

he said the only people that make money in that business are the trainers

What about the vets?

[pavyracer]

What about the vets?

And the people who take care of the horses?

[Meansteam]

As long as you try not to do the work yourself, great investment

[Meansteam]

Get solid people training and caring for the horse.

[Meansteam]

And just remember, not everyone will be great

[Sledge187]

i knew my SBR peeps would come through. Anyone made any money doing this? This would be just a small investment by me at first. The horse in question should go for about $5-$6K. I would only be investing 25% of the cost. I know it is a total gamble but I like to gamble.

[MadTiger]

And the people who take care of the horses?

Just like the gold rush. The saloons and general store owners made the killing, while most of the prospectors just got killed.

[frankzig]

Just wondering OH yea you have race horses but cant PONY up a hundo to be pro guess your horses are hanging with mine in the glue factory

[INVEGA MAN]

That $100 can buy a lot of hay

I use to be a pro but can't afford it anymore....when I was a pro....best three years of my life.......food tasted better, always got seated immediately anywhere I went.....I tell you this......it was tough staying married during those years.......I hurt myself today........
To see if I still feel......
I focus on the pain.....
The only thing that's real......
The needle tears a hole......
The old familiar sting ......
Try to kill it all away .......
But I remember everything........

Any chance they re-release this show? What a great show it was for just a few episodes, damn

i think it went to the glue factory BUT i did read there were 2 unaired episodes of season 2 floating around they were supposed to be on the dvd release but i dont think they were there.

[Ra77er]

Sledge get a horse and lets get a poll up to name that beast.

That is just the initial cost. You have to think about everything involved first.

[biggie12]

i have one horse that has been paying the bills for the other 2. But nothing to write home about. The hobby sort of pays for itself now which is nice and gives me something to look forward to on sat sun and Wednesdays, without any stress.

STR does provide alot of good info in his thread you guys should check it out.


JayVegas420 No i never told you the name of the horses because then you will see the stable and know who i am, which i don't want.
