By Beryl Dalton


If you are fantasizing about having making a lot of money then you could start at the racetrack. Having your own racehorse can be rewarding and exhilarating if you know exactly what you are doing. You need to determine if you have enough knowledge on how to go about this process or you could use some help. If you do not know how to buy a racehorse you can seek the services of a bloodstock agent. This professional is paid on commission for buying and selling horses. You can also seek advice from experts who train horses.

Consider all the expenses before you make a buy. Quite a sum will be spent to keep the steed in training sessions. Every month you will have to part with vet charges. Remember to factor in shoeing costs as well. Keep in mind the roughage, straw, grain and other dietary supplements to keep your stallion in tip-top condition for racing.

Choose whether you need to claim a racehorse all alone or co-own it with partners. You can also put resources into numerous stallions through a syndicate. Numerous associations advertise horses in publications and websites. Contact various syndicate directors and prospective organizations before you get down to investing.

There are several ways through which you can purchase a racehorse. You can do it at an auction, a claiming race or through private purchase. During a claiming race the price is fixed before the beginning of the race according to the quality of the animals.

In auctions the animals are grouped into brood mares, those in training and yearlings. Every horse is listed with a birth date, blood type listing as well as a family tree. It is easier to purchase a horse through private purchase. Through this option you can have the animals inspected before buying and you get to negotiate the price.

You need to procure a trainer for the horse. The best hot spot for placing an accomplished stallion coach is through professional bodies. You can also search on the internet for professionals. Obtain a permit that allows you to race your horse. Horse owners must have a permit to partake in races. Each one state has its own particular authorizing applications, systems and charges.

It is advisable to register the horse with a Jockey Club. When the horse is participating in a race you need to have copies of registration papers present at the racetrack. The name, physical description and pedigree of the animal are all written down on the papers. You need to get colors from the Jockey Club because all racehorses wear colored silks when racing.

If you want to recoup your money you need to finish among the top five. The first five horses get to share the listed purse. If a horse keeps performing well in races it will rise in value. It could easily get to the ranges of millions depending on the pedigree.
