Partnership
When Debbie Kepitis, Peter Tighe and Richard Treweeke bought a yearling filly for $230,000, they had no idea she’d win 33 consecutive races, amass $26 million in prizemoney and become one of the all time greats.
Few partnerships will experience the thrills of owning a horse like Winx, but they can be a great way to share costs and make new friends. Ranging from 2 to 20+ people, they are often organised by a trainer.

Syndication
What do a council worker, bus driver and an electrician all have in common? They enjoyed the ride of a lifetime as part-owners of two-time Everest winner, Redzel.
Other big races won by syndicated horses include the Golden Slipper, All Star Mile, VRC Oaks, and Champagne Stakes.
Syndicators – who have to be licensed by ASIC – sell shares in horses they buy at sales and their business is to manage everything to ensure owners enjoy their experience.

Micro Ownership
Micro ownership is new in Australia but it’s a great way to get a taste of ownership at a very affordable price. From as little as $100 with minimal ongoing costs, you can become a part-owner and join a community of like-minded racing fans.
This model has already delivered big overseas. The 2020 Kentucky Derby winner, Authentic, was raced by more than 5,000 owners, and went on to be crowned America’s Horse of the Year.

If you were an owner would it be important...
To be in the mounting yard pre-race to talk with your trainer and jockey?
Does this sound like you?
I’m happy to race a horse with people I don’t know

Sole Ownership
As a sole owner, you’ll enjoy 100% of the upside but you’ll have to cover all expenses. If deciding who trains your horse and what silks the jockey wears is something you value, sole ownership might be for you.
Star Tasmanian mare Mystic Journey was purchased for just $11,000 as a yearling, but she’s won her owner, Wayne Rosser, over $4 million in prizemoney.

Sole Ownership
Run your own race. Make all the decisions and reap 100% of the rewards but remember you’ll pay all the bills. Seeking some guidance is recommended.
