I've never owned.
I'm not against fractional ownership, but too small a fraction is really insignificant.
I of course like any of you want to be part of the decision making too, unlike TheStable at least have a % vote.
How about like 10% minimum share blocks.
We only use Horseplop members Driver(s) and Trainer(s).
Whatever it is, no drugs, no cheating, no beating the animal, that's nuts, that's not a race horse that's negative reinforcement and insane urging, or I'm out, just patience and finding that diamond in the rough so we don't have to hopefully pay out the @ss.
We're half way through this year.
I might even own some solely on my own.
I'll commit 6 figures to it.
Let's come up with a plan and the ground rules for 2027. ;D

Only if Mike petrelli is the trainer
To see Mike in the winner's circle, a big stake's final, with a pacing / trotting world record, drug free, cheat free, whip free phenom and it go in the record book, he being interviewed it couldn't be better than if I was there or watch and listen on tv.
A mic drop moment that would silent harness racing.
Would be a moment!
He does great stuff, his future his ambitions are his own.
Though this would be open to any Horseplop member....and let's add Plop Vet and Groom to the list too. ;D

No new money, you're a real drip and hypocrite.
You say you gamble.
You support the creeps.
you must suck a good dickiedoo for a tip ngc3
You're a f'ing bottom feeder lackey.
But you're open to invest too ngc3
Or more likely remain the in-house pest! ;D

Rocky has the mares, and is a breeder too, how awesome is that!
All the bases are starting to get covered.
I know BigSexy is a trainer, let's see who comes forward!
Taking form and already getting boos, has the makings of a winner! ;D

My financial commitment could start January, February 2027.
If everything looks solid, and an opportunity comes, it would start then.
Pending I'm alive too ngc3
Everyone is at all different levels of understanding and experience.
Please be cognizant of that.
No one should feel discouraged asking questions, getting clarity.
Interest first, bringing money to the table is really the basics and that should suffice.
Let's figure out what different buy in opportunities look like, and foreseeable expenses going forward too.
But there is no AMac here, get it and appreciate it! ;D

I’d would really be interested in this!
We could actually have an interesting discussion about racing, instead of other nonsensical issues that you bring up on plop!

You bring sound intelligence and decision making, and successful track record from years of experience.
It's an honor to hear you say that!
A larger fractional share partnership & with all that fat trimmed off.

Some of the greatest business partnerships are with adversarial.
It becomes at times that hard to approve a plan, so when and if it is does get green lighted, everything was thought out hashed - argued out and agreed.
This here, raises the level of transparency to the highest level, outside some foreseeable discussions, possible strategies that unanimously outsiders i.e. competition should be precluded.

As soon as the Plop attorney, another personnel (Trainer, vet, driver, groom, breeder...) rears their head they can advise ngc3
With that said...
"PIGLAND STABLE" owns your share theoretically, I see no problem you handling "the rest of that" on your end the way it needs to be handled your way! ;D

When I owned four cheap claimers at Pompano, I remember chatting with a trainer who told me that owning shares in a yearing or unraced two-year old was the biggest risk in racing. However he said, it also can bring the BIGGEST REWARD! Unlike owning cheap claimers where there worth rarely goes upward, the gamble on a yearling or two year old can pay off big time. It's an investment. If a person can afford it, I think that's a great way to go in the horse business. Don't make their same stupid mistakes I made in the game.

I know who you are talking about L**********S.
They don't.
I don't want to talk out turn, but better you throw it out there.
It's very promising, not a joke, I thinking about it.

A track vet I know said its not good for horses to race at 2, something about the bones and stinting growth.
Goes both ways.
But I get what you're saying about a big, long term investment and no potential payoff, and running in circles with cheap stuff...goes both ways.
The value of having a vet with a good focused eye...everyone knows about going to a higher % trainer. Rarely you see a lesser trainer claim / buy off a better trainer and see better results...it happens occasionally.
But patience and execution, 2 words that are antonyms but both needed.
I want to be successful.
I'm not worried about opportunities, there is always another.
Doesn't mean you want to miss one, juts feel comfortable and think it out.
The value of partnerships sharing - the decisions, windfall against mitigating the bad decisions and failure, loses.

You seem to have a kind heart for the horses, SweetTrig, and as such, you're going to find it a bit tough in any fractional ownership group. There are a ton of people who want them to the races ASAP. Your vet friend is probably right that they shouldn't really race at 2 much. It happens, mine included, but it's case by case. If they're not ready, they don't go, and a lot of people don't have that patience.
As others who own have stated, it really changes your perspective if you've only been a gambler/fan.
I like trotters, and will freely admit they're maybe not the best "toe-dip" but I'll keep an eye on this thread for sure tmbz1

Thank you for your advice.
For fun would be to hang with the horses outside of racing. Also learn as much as I could about equine sciences.
I can help with administrative stuff. Maybe like a corporate secretary.
I'd be listening and learning and going along with the expert advise of the partners and personnel otherwise for the rest, which is pretty much everything.
I'm not sure why we're not talking about t-breds too ngc3 I'm in! ;D

Trust me, you dont want to own a horse with partners you dont know.

I think it depends on how much you want to be involved.
On what is proposed - which seems to be at least 10% ownership - I think it's going to be tough.
IMO, if you want to partner, the sweet spot is 2-4 total partners who share a similar enough philosophy that, along with your trainer's guidance, you're going to be in (mostly) agreement.
As you divide that ownership percentage, the majority rules gets harder and more contentious. If you just want the racing experience (and potential success if you just go with the group), buy in.
If you are serious about it, you will want to limit partners to a finite number you want to work with.

You are right "on the money" with this comment. When I owned mine, I had two good solid partners who liked me always paid our bills on time. We shared the same view on where they raced and who we wanted to hire as a trainer. We agreed that we wanted a trainer with a small stable and who would allow us to stop by and see the horses and enjoy the experience. And although we lost money on the venture, we had a great time and met some great people in the "game".

I agree with Dougie and SDST, all my horses I owned by myself or with 1 other person. Too many cooks spoil the game

Mikeee they tell me your training record it's horrible and you've never owned a horse. Please post the horses that you have owned along with the training record.

Big Sexy doesn't really race year Olds.
He is not cheap.
He's had a few down years now.

Most of the successful partnerships that I've seen over the years came from FRIENDSHIP FIRST! Without instant success a "Breakaway Cell" doesn't take long to form.

Yonkers1A.....i'm certainly not the one to give great advise on owning horses. LOL! The biggest mistake me and my partners made were that we bought four cheap $4000 claimers to build "our stable". At least three races for that cheap class every night. Two much ego instead of thinking smart. We should have bought two 6-8 claimers instead. It would have reduced out bills by half and gave us a little leeway if we wanted to drop/raise up in class. Live and learn.

G & Pacer2, I'm glad you're friends and on some subjects we all don't disagree. Whether we're men or woman, I assume we're adults.
You think repeating the same thing about the same person, who apparently is not here over and over and over is a smart, funny, necessary thing.
Angry, mean, vengeful, defensive, offensive.... who is not here at times, some are not ever, but it happens.
The proverbial "beating a dead horse" is not any of us because we do it in writing here not in our head.
You're not damaged people, Scrape the Paint too, you're not either.
