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 these breeds will be purchased, the needed knowledge to have these purchases made should be possessed by the buyers. This way, the ones suitable for their necessities can be obtained. If such knowledge is not possessed, bloodstock agents can be hired, instead. Commissions are usually earned by these agents when thoroughbreds are bought and sold in behalf of purchasers. Some factors should be considered, such as legalities, experiences, expertise, and others, whenever these agents will be selected.

The future owners should consider the total costs for this undertaking. They should check the prices that the sellers will quote for these breeds. They should also consider the amounts that they will have to spend when they will purchase important things for their breeds. These things will include their feeds, their supplements, their vaccinations, and others. The purchasers should make sure that they will have enough budgets to cover these expenses.

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.

Once these thoroughbreds are possessed, good trainers should be hired by the owners. The animals will be trained and prepared by the professionals for those races that will be participated in by them. Those with favorable reputations should be looked for by the owners so that good conditions for the racehorses can be expected.

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 owners should also apply for colors with the clubs. Their jockeys will use and wear these colors whenever they will ride their horses during races. The colors will distinguish their breeds from other owners.
