How To Buy A Racehorse

By Ericka Marsh


Money is invested in various business opportunities by lots of people. Through the investments, more money can be gained. Their lifestyles can also be improved.

While most people will invest in things, others will invest in animals. For horse racing fanatics, they usually buy a racehorse and accumulate wins. Through their wins, they can earn profits. There are a number of factors that these purchasers should take into account whenever they will purchase these breeds.

If they have no idea regarding how this endeavor can be started, advices can be asked by the individuals from persons who have thoroughbreds already. Some advices can be provided by these persons, who might be their relatives, friends, or colleagues, that could be utilized by the owners whenever their own breeds will be taken care of. Some advices can also be asked from the horse trainers who have lots of experiences already related 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.

There are three main ways that the buyers can employ so that they can make their purchases. They can acquire the breeds through claiming races, through auctions, and through direct purchases. In claiming races, the horses will have to run races and the veterinarians cannot inspect their conditions. In auctions, the organizers will classify these horses into different categories and the agents can view them at these events. In direct purchases, veterinarians can inspect the animals before the buyers will purchase them at their negotiated prices.

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.
