Become an Owner

Whether you want to own a horse outright, buy a percentage or put together a syndicate with friends we'd love for you to be part of the team. Thoroughbred ownership is your ticket to the innersanctum of the ‘Sport of Kings’.

Owning a share in a racehorse gives you the chance to get up close and personal with icons of the sport, to talk tactics, plan strategy and help define the career of your own champion racehorse.

There are many ways to become involved in racehorse ownership. The purchase of a racehorse needn’t be an expensive thing, thanks to the variety of ownership opportunities available

Sole Owner

Being the sole owner of a racehorse gives you the right to all prize money accrued, as well as the chance to name and race a potential star in your own set of silks. As a sole owner you will be involved with all decision making in the career of your racehorse, but are also solely responsible for all expenses your horse accrues.

Part Owner

Many people prefer part-ownership of a racehorse, as you get to share all the thrills of race day glory, as well as the bills. Part-owners are afforded all of the same privileges of sole owners, for a fraction of the cost.

Syndicate

Putting together a syndicate provides a cost-effective option for those wanting a taste of ownership at a fraction of the price.

Owner FAQ

How will I be kept informed about my horse’s progress?

Updates will be regular via email, you will also a video when possible. Matt or Andrew are also available to take your call at any time.

Can I come to the stable to visit my horse?

Visits are welcome anytime you wish but please be sure to give us a bit of notice. Feel free to bring a carrot!

Where will my horse be trained?

Ballarat racecourse is a first-class training centre and when it comes to surfaces, it provides the best of both worlds – a 2200 metre turf racecourse which is complemented by an all-weather Polytrack that we use for exercise daily and race on throughout the winter months. There’s also an internal grass and sand training track; and a 1400 metre, straight synthetic hill track, all set in an idyllic rural setting. There is also a horse swimming pool and Ballarat Equine Veterinary Practice is right next door.
