How To Buy A Racehorse

By Ericka Marsh


Many people are investing their money in several business opportunities. With such investments, they could be gaining more money. They could be improving their lifestyles, too.

While things are invested in by most people, animals are also being invested in by others. For horse racing fans, wins are accumulated after they buy a racehorse. Through these wins, profits can be earned. A couple of factors should be taken into account by the purchasers whenever these breeds will be purchased.

If he has no idea about how he could be starting this venture, the individual could be asking for advices from persons who also own thoroughbreds. These individuals, who could be his colleagues, friends, or relatives, could be providing several advices which the owner could be utilizing when he will be taking care of his own breed. He could also be asking several advices from a horse trainer who already has numerous experiences relevant to the field.

Before they will purchase their breeds, the buyers should have the necessary knowledge to make these purchases. This way, they will be able to obtain the ones that are suitable for their needs. If they do not possess such knowledge, they can hire bloodstock agents, instead. These agents usually earn commissions when they will buy and sell thoroughbreds in behalf of the purchasers. They have to consider some factors, such as their legalities, their experiences, their expertise, and others, when they will select these agents.

A future owner should be considering the whole cost of this venture. He should be checking the price which a seller will be quoting for the breed. He should also be considering the amount he will be spending in purchasing essential things for his breed. These things may include its feeds, vaccinations, supplements, or others. The purchaser should see to it that he has enough budget in covering these expenditures.

Three main ways can be employed by the buyers so that their purchases can be made. The breeds can be acquired through claiming races, auctions, or direct purchases. Through claiming races, races will be run by the horses and their conditions cannot be inspected by the veterinarians. Through auctions, the horses will be classified into different groups and can be viewed by the agents at the events. Through direct purchases, the animals can be inspected by the veterinarians before they will be purchased at negotiated prices by the buyers.

After possessing the thoroughbred, the owner should be hiring a good trainer. The professional will be training and preparing the animal for the race which it will be participating in. The owner should be looking for one with a favorable reputation for him to be expecting the best condition for his racehorse.

The animals should be registered with specific jockey clubs. Through this, racing licenses will be received by them. They will be allowed by these licenses to have various races participated in. Different policies are enacted by different states to have these events controlled. The registration requirements for their respective areas should be known by the owners.

The owner should also be applying for a color with the club. A jockey will be using and wearing this color when he will be riding his horse during a race. The color will be distinguishing his breed from other owners.
