Choose any amount you wish to invest. We’ll then tell you which share of the horse you will get (10%, 20%, 50% or over). You can also divide your paid-up capital in order to buy shares in more than just one trotter.

// Buy a share in a trotter: how much?

You can have access to race horse co-ownership from € 5,000 (US $ 7,108). Some co-owners invest up to € 50,000 (US $ 71,083) or over.

// Shares in a race horse: how much does it cash back?

Once it qualifies, the trotter in which you have invested (one share or more) will enter for competition. The money you will cash in on the earnings will be based on the portion of your share.

Examples: Querner has realised € 88,000 (US $ 125,106) so far within around 18 months competition. His co-owners have almost already covered their expenses. The same goes for Quibble to a large extent. As of now the earnings to come on these two horses can be considered as net profit. Quick Renodière, who was slowed down in his performance due to health problems, has only realised € 35,000 (US $ 49,758) but has not run as many events as the former two. These horses are not 5 years old yet and they have a long career ahead of them (in France, trotters can compete till the end of their 10th year). My Winner, who can still run two full years, has already realised largely over € 521,000 (US $ 740,688), by July 26 2009.

The Orlov Trotter was named after Earl Orlov of Tchema who ensured its production and breeding since 1777 in his Khrenovoi stud farm, Russia. The foundation sire is said to be Bars I whose parents were an Arabian sire called Smetanka and a Danish mare. Bars I and his descendance were mated with Arabian, Dutch, Danish and English mares. At that time, Throroughbred blood and Arabian blood were also input on several occasions, and the Stud-Book was created in 1865.

The American Trotter, or Standardbred, descends from English Thoroughbred. Thoroughbred sire Messenger is said to be the foundation sire. He descended from Darley Arabian, one of the 3 initial Chefs-de-Race along with Bierley Turk and Godolphin Arabian. Messenger was a stud over many years, siring both trotters and gallop racers with indigenous mares, more particularly Morgans and Canadians. One of Messenger’s sons Mambrino (1806) sired Abdallah I who sired Hambletonian 10, who had a strong inbreeding on Messenger. Hambletonian 10 died in 1876 aged 27 after siring over 1300 trotters. All present time American Trotters trace their bloodline to him. In 1903, trotter Lou Dillon, one of his descendants aged 5, performed 1′13″8 in a 1600 m race (performance to be considered according to the conditions of the time: the equipment was much heavier and the tracks were not as favorable to speed as now.)

In the United States, the first official harness racing events took place in 1818 and the Stud-Book was opened in 1871. In France, several bloodlines originate from male line Hambletonian, with offspring such as Quo Vadis, Kairos and Ogaden from the George Wilkes line. The 2nd half of the 19th century was the golden age of Orlov Trotters, then the American Trotters established themselves as favorites until the early 50.s. French horse-breeding has since produced numerous horses of exquisite quality.

Here’s a short gallery:  Uranie Born to Intermède and Pastourelle in 1920, she long reigned over European harness racing. She won 3 Prix d’Amérique (1926-27-28) and became the first French Harness racing super star. At the stud farm, she also was a major producing mare. Some of her offspring turned out to be Kairos and Ogaden leading sires.

Fandango Saddle-trot champion, Fandango was the only horse of his discipline to step into legend. He won 38 events in a stretch, of which 2 consecutive Prix de Cornulier in 1953 and 1954. At the stud farm, he was an exceptionally prolific sire since his name has gone down in history in the Stud-Book as one of the greatest leading sires.

Gélinotte was born in April 1950 in Croissanville (Calvados, France). Her first horsetrainer failed to understand her. He thus left her in the care of Charlie Mills who took the necessary time to study her without pushing her. So that she would get used to the din of a racetrack, he had loud-speakers installed on her training track, solely playing military marches. Gélinotte went from win to win. When Charlie Mills got ill and had to give up the sulky to another driver she became irritable, faked limp, her coat turned shabby and she lost her appetite. Mills drove her again for the Prix d’Amérique in 1955. As favorites, they took 2nd place behind Fortunato. After that, Gélinotte and Mills walked off with first prize in every event they entered (a total of 54, of which 1956 and 1957 Prix d’Amérique). Consecrated Champion of Europe, she travelled across the Continent and cashed 1 billion centimes. She produced 8 offspring, among which great leading sire Ura. She died foaling in 1970.

Invest in French racehorses and buy a share of a trotter, genetically selected by Didier Barlogis.

In a context where real estate market is frustrating and the Stock Market is depressing and gloomy, race horses turn out to be a leisure investment, perhaps a little risky but which is likely to pay off. From now on, everyone of you can feel the emotion as you stand watching your horse as it heads for the winning post. You can live your dream and hope to win the Prix d’Amérique or great events at Vincennes. Contrary to popular belief, becoming a share-owner or the owner of a race horse is not eccentric and is accessible for all.

The facts

As mentioned above, this leisure investment can pay off pretty well. But keep in mind that a race horse, remains an athlete exposed to the vagaries of competition. An accident or a disease can put an end or slow down the career of a race horse. Take the example of a soccer player with a sprained knee, he will fully recover within 3 weeks, a horse will not.

Buying

For quite some years now France Galop and La Société du Cheval Français have been extremely active in promoting the access to this leisure. It is now possible to be part of the world of horseracing in different ways. You can rent the career of a race horse, you can become an associate in a joint ownership.The great majority of race horses belong to smallholders who only possess one competing horse.

Note to newcomers

Before you step into the world of horseracing ask a professional for advice or contact an owners association. This will certainly spare you a lot of mistakes made.

Race horses and taxes (in France)

When a horse owner is not a professional in the field of horseracing (a horse trainer, a horse breeder, …) the earnings are tax exempted . The earnings are thus completely tax exempted for non-professional owners who do not have a direct action on their horse’s career.

Earnings that make you wonder

Here are some examples of the cashback on some very good trotters last year and since the beginning of their careers:

• Ready Cash: € 679,000 – Total earnings: € 947,000

• Return Money: € 575,000 – Total earnings: € 757,000

• Offshore Dream: € 568,000 – Total earnings: € 1,981,000

It goes without saying that a great quantity of average or poor level horses will make it difficult for their owners to cash back on the training expenses. On the contrary, champions will cash hundreds, sometimes millions of euros. But nothing and no-one will stop you nor us from betting on the right horse. In the horseracing community you will often hear about luck and bad luck, and it is true that these notions exist.

However, any novice will soon realise that wins are regularly won by the same drivers and horse trainers. Why that? Could it be luck? More seriously, in the field of horseracing, just like in any other domain, professionalism, intelligence, consciousness, experience, know-how and many other criteria make a difference. As for horse selection or breed optimisation, keep in mind that late Italian 1930.s full-blood breeder Federico Tesio yielded as many champions as born horses. This great professional had a perfect master of bloodline and crossbreeding, which shows that it is absolutely feasible to succeed where others have failed.
