For 20 years, Pocket Aces Racing has offered an exciting and affordable way to dive into thoroughbred ownershipwithout breaking the bank.

Here’s how it works

Ownership opportunities start around $1,000, with options varying depending on the horse’s price and the number of shares available. Pro tip: Partnerships typically consist of 10 shares.

Maintenance expenses are billed quarterly, with an initial buy-in typically covering three to six months of fees upfront.

More than an investment

This investment is not just about the financials, it’s about the experience. Partners enjoy hands-on involvement at every stage, including:

  • Help choose your thoroughbred at the sale
  • Name the horse
  • Experience race day excitement at top tracks
  • Visit your horse at farms and training centers
  • Stay connected with race videos, winner’s circle photos, progress reports, and financial statements

Competing at top tracks like Keeneland, Churchill Downs, Saratoga, and Kentucky Downs, your horse will have ample opportunity to succeed.
