Tragics of racing we are! We just love it!
Everyone has a story about getting into racehorse ownership - what's yours?
For us it started as a social commitment to family and friends to take up a small share in a race horse back in 2007. Think it was one third of a 15th share. That horses name was Emifive.
What's been your most memorable experience as an owner so far?
Definitely being part owners of the 2018 Victoria Derby winner, Extra Brut. Ironically and disappointingly from a not being there perspective, we were somewhere between Malta and Mykonos on a Mediterranean Cruise when the Derby was actually being run, without any coverage available.
It wasn’t until we docked in Mykonos about 10 hours after the race that we found out that Bruty had won! Our photo is of us in Mykonos saying cheers to Bruty. Still an amazing adrenaline exploding experience we shall never forget! We also wish to acknowledge Brad Spicer of Spicer Thoroughbreds for providing us the opportunity to buy a share in Extra Brut as a yearling.
If you could own any horse in the world (past or present) which one would it be?
Our next champion!
We know it’s impossible to stop at one, what's your ownership stable looking like now?
At the moment we have shares in 6 horses racing, and one recently retired broodmare. With that, they’ve had 9 wins and 13 placings between them from 47 starts.
How do you decide which horses to get involved with?
Karen’s call!
Anything you didn’t know at the start of your ownership journey that you wished you knew?
Pretty much everything, and we’ve still got a lot to learn!
