Racehorse Shares For Sale

Buying at Karaka 2021 now!

It is a very exciting time of the year with the Karaka Yearling Sales starting this Sunday the 24th of January.

This year is a unique sale, with overseas buyers not able to attend, which will have an effect. It will make the middle market of the sale patchy, which will create a one-off opportunity for outstanding value for buyers. This is the year to invest.

We would like to invite you on to join our ‘buyers priority list’ and receive the first opportunity to take shares in our horses. You will receive daily updates on our purchases and commentary on the sales, directly to your inbox.

Go Racing is on target for our most successful season yet in terms of both prize money and races won for owners. We won 46 races in 2020 even accounting for the racing lockdown and last year saw us cement our place as a force to be reckoned with in Australia with 20 winners there alone, taking advantage of their huge prizemoney. In the first five months of this current season, we have won over $800,000 in stakes for our owners, so we are well and truly on our way to smashing our previous best record.

This year we will be buying yearlings for our full suite of trainers:

Stephen McKee—Auckland
Stephen Marsh—Cambridge
Lisa Latta—Palmerston North
Andrew Carston—Christchurch
Chris Waller—Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane
Trent Busuttin and Natalie Young—Melbourne
John O’Shea—Sydney

We have been busy inspecting yearlings with our trainers and are in the process of drawing up our shortlist. We will be looking to buy a range of yearlings over the next week from early two-year-olds that can win the Karaka Million through to three-year-old Guineas horses and staying types that can win Oaks, Derbies and Cup races. This year we are proud to have one runner in the 2YO Karaka Million and two in the 3YO Karaka Million.

We buy over a wide range of prices and have bought Group 1 winners for as little as $40,000, so there are opportunities for all budgets. We bought fourteen yearlings last year, with eight of those selling out during sales week, so if you are interested in taking shares in these yearlings, it is important to receive these updates.

We do have costs in sourcing and offering the yearlings. With every horse purchased we add on a one-off fee of $24,500 + GST to their purchase price. For example, if we buy a $70,000 horse, the one-off cost of $24,500 is added to the purchase making a 10% share cost $9450 + GST. This share price will cover the following:

• Purchase
• All sales costs
• All vetting costs
• Initial gear (rugs, sheets etc)
• Registration with NZTR
• Purchase fee
• Floating
• Breaking in
• Training
• Agistment
• Promotional costs
• Management costs to 1 May 2021
• All other costs to 1 May 2021

Costs from May will be a contribution into the syndicate account and will be dependent on where the horse is trained. Monthly costs will be $320 per month, per 10% share, for horses trained by Andrew Carston; $330 for Lisa Latta; $350 per month for horses trained by Stephen McKee and Stephen Marsh; and $490 per month for horses trained in Australia.

Where we nominate horses for the Karaka Million races (two and three-year-old races) this will be charged as a separate cost. All horses will also be insured at the fall of the hammer, which will be charged separately.
