YEARLING & TRIED HORSE SELECTION

Patriot Bloodstock offers racing fans the opportunity to purchase shares in any of our horses.

We are active at most yearling sales with the support of our experienced Bloodstock Agent and Vet helping narrow down our shortlist for potential purchases. When the bidding starts we set ourselves a budget with the aim of securing our yearlings at an affordable price for our owners to buy in at.

In the tried-horse space we use valuable form principles and racing data to identify tried-horses that with a change of trainer and jurisdiction can fulfill their potential. We have excelled in this space and purchased many horses at a an entry-level price that have gone on to become city winners. Check out our Highlights page for some examples.

We manage the journey of the entire process, purchase, breaking-in, pre-training, all the way through your horses racing career, all with the highest level of communication, managing the syndicate and taking care of all the finanaces so you only recieve one bill each month.

COSTS

Shares are typically taken at either 2.5%, 5% or 10%, however, larger shares are always welcome.

How much buying your share with us costs will depend largely on the pedigree and conformation of the horse if buying a yearling, and past performances if buying a tried horse. Prices can vary so it's a horse-by-horse basis, but our average share price is $1,000 per 2.5% share in our tried horses, and usually about $2,000 per 2.5% in a yearling.

For a 2.5% share in any of our horses you can expect to pay approximately $125 - $200 per month for ongoing training fees. Your fees might be at the higher end of the scale once your horse gets to the races to include traveling expenses, strapper fees, vet costs, supplements etc. We handle all the accounts for our owners, so you only receive one invoice monthly, and your fees cover our costs to manage the syndicate.

We pride ourselves on sourcing quality horses for our clients at an entry level price point and we welcome first time owners with us.

DO I OWN MY SHARE OUTRIGHT?

Every horse we syndicate comes with a Product Disclosure Statement, including a full break down of costs and all your legal requirements when owning shares in a racehorse.

When you buy a share with Patriot Bloodstock you are the sole owner of your percentage, we don't not take any additional cut of the prizemoney. If you buy 5% you get 5% of the prizemoney (less the usual trainer and jockey percentages).

When your horse finishes racing often they'll be sold via an auction. If this is the case, you'll receive your percentage of the sale price (less any auction expenses). We don't take any additional cut of the sale.

NAMING YOUR HORSE

When naming your horse, we love our owners to come up with creative names, we'll take suggestions from all our owners and generally put it to a vote amongst the group for the top 3 names which will be submitted to Racing NSW who ultimately decide on one of the three suggested names.

STABLE VISITS/RACE DAY TICKETS

As an owner with us you will be able to have stable visits to see your horse, and on race day all owners listed in the race book will receive full race day owners' privileges. If you require additional race day tickets, we'll help facilitate that.

COMMUNICATION

We pride ourselves on first class communication. You can expect regular emails with audio and video content from your trainer, as well as pre-race form analysis and post-race reports so all owners are kept up to date with every step of your horses' preparation.

POST RACE JOCKEY REPORTS

You'll receive post-race jockey reports from your jockey immediately after your horse runs either race day or in trials.

BREAKING-IN REPORTS

When your horse is being broken-in we'll regularly attend our farms and speak with our breakers to check on your horse's progress, plus you'll receive video contact direct from the breakers talking you through what stage of the breaking-in process your horse is at and what you can expect next.
