Investing in racehorses should not be taken lightly. If a bet on a racehorse requires only a review of professional newspapers, investment in a horse can be much more difficult.
The criteria for investing in a racehorse should be similar to the criteria involved in any financial investment. (based on a solid asset base, ability to generate income, be a source of social and personal entertainment, present an opportunity to increase personal wealth) even if the object of the investment (the horse) is a living being which is hence an additional risk.
People often compare owning a racehorse and horseracing with betting. However, the races themselves are completely independent of the betting industry. Betting provides the industry with an opportunity for generating finance and involves taxation. The races and ownership prize money are a completely from the betting industry.
The competitive nature of the sport, as in all human sports, generates a hierarchy of value of the participants. The races generate champions, not only horses but also trainers, jockeys and breeders.
From a financial standpoint, the market’s structure is pyramidal. The international market is currently dominated by the Arab Emirates, which has an invested a colossal amount of finance into their particular interests in horse racing.
There is a direct correlation between investment and success, however, and therein lies the charm of the glorious uncertainty of sport, a race is never won on finance alone.
There are several ways to invest in a racehorse, and the method chosen will depend largely on what budget you have, and what risks you're willing to take. The initial investment may be as low as € 100 in the context of a syndicate, or greater than € 500,000 for outright purchase. This initial investment is only a component of the overall costs involved because an investor must also take into account operating costs for maintenance of the horse, nutrition, nutritional supplements, schooling and training, jockeys and veterinary fees, transport, insurance against death or impairment, etc....
Initially you have to choose if you want:
• to be part of a syndicate: this way risk, costs and earnings are divided between the number of investors, or
• acting alone: you take care of all the risk but have access to all the winnings!
What are the opportunities to acquire a horse:
• Breed your own horse; in this case, you must first have a mare, and choose an appropriate sire.
• private purchase: make a direct offer to purchase a horse directly from the owner.
• rent: you pay the entire cost and enjoy nearly all the gains, but you're not the outright owner.
• Auctions: public auctions are held in all countries by specialized companies.
• Claiming race: a buyer can buy a horse during a race called "claimer" simply by paying the claiming price as decided by the owner before the start of the race.
What are the opportunities for gains:
• Prize money: Race earnings represent the primary source of income. A thorough knowledge of racing programs is necessary.
• The sale or resale of the horse, whether in racing "to claim" or by private transaction or public sale. Market knowledge is very important. You may sell a horse at any stage of his career: foal (6 months), yearling (18 months), training, and at stud.
• Breeding at Stud: horses having been successful in their races to a high quality and having an interesting pedigree can be exploited for breeding. The mares of quality from which breeders breed can become the "geese that lay golden eggs" ...
