I was actually on it pretty early because they are based at Santa Anita and they were there a bunch promoting it. I “own” 1 which only had 100 shares and was 300 bucks. It was a cal bred sprinter and I always see these outrages cal bred stakes purses with fields of like 5. Figured if he was any good, might pay something back l.
So to begin with the trip to the barns was worth the price alone. My mother in law is a life long fan and watching the smile on her face as she feed carrots to the horse and pet his nose was worth the price alone.
they pick who stands in the paddock and winners circle via lottery (or they did when fans were allowed)
The horse with the amazing name, Utalknboutpractice, was out his whole 2 year old year which was rough but they give updates from the trainer and ownership team on his training and their thoughts for the next race, etc
He won his 2nd race on turf at SA in a cal bred maiden. Then led and gassed terribly at Del Mar. they might run in him in claiming at SA or another cal bred starter
as far as money? They take a lot a decent amount for “costs” Right now we have positive money in the “reserve” which they do post to tell you the balance. Once the reserve is met, they will pay out for wins. once the horses career is done or If he’s claimed, they will pay out the reserve. I expect to probably make my money back and maybe more if he can win a cal bred stake.
bottom line, it’s a fun little program if there smaller shares. I wouldn’t get involved in the likes of Authetic or these other 10000 share types. No money in it and you in all likelihood won’t get to met the horse, talk to the trainer, etc
