I actually couldn't care less. As I said, just a bit of fun.

Well Frac club would get say $900,000 then the manager gets 10% of that cause they’ve worked so hard $90,000. So you might get $360? I get the idea but I don’t get how it’s a thrill when you could just back the horse each start and actually make money. If you look around there is value options in ownership that can leave you with the potential to get a return and actually get a ticket to the races. 

Grand National should be an interesting race Stodge. I’m going to go against the faves too with a multi around these beauties….. SENIOR CHIEF, IROKO, STUMPTON, HEWICK, THREE CARD BRAG, MINELLA COCOONER.

But there can be a time when they have to say it's a no goer, we will just have to wait and see.

So, let's say the filly becomes a rising star and is sold for, say, $2m. How much would you receive?  

That's exactly what it is - a chance to see a horse you (partly) own in action for minimal cost. Am I reading correctly that they own only 45% of the horse? Not having full ownership doesn't make it as fun.

I've got a micro share in a Hello Youmzain filly with the Freedmans. $280 all up. Just a bit of fun as far as I'm concerned.

Sorry but I  haven't watched the clip BUT I Can answer how to destroy a democracy , you put your opponent in jail . They tried to get Trump , they got Le Pen , Bolsonaro , Imran Khan and no doubt the left will be trying to nail more , that's how you destroy a democracy .

Based on what I have just read - ie the facts and the terminology, Max wouldn't touch this with a barge pole.  

Cambridge Night Of Champions has a message sayin their venue is an all weather venue racin will go on regardless 🤗   Cheers Iraklis

This idea of micro-ownership has been around for years, with both positives and negatives. Great for anyone looking just to have some interest in a horse. I think it's a good idea to get more people involved. I almost did this but then Covid struck and things changed. Get stuck in!

I’m surprised there hasn’t been more made of this ownership model. Great value!! One NZ company is currently advertising: Ace High filly, priv purchase $95,000 of which this company took 45% ($43,000).  Then selling 2250 shares @$206 per share.  Values their 45% for 2 years investment at $463,500.  By my reading 48% goes to the admin side of things.  The only thing I’m disappointed about is I didn’t come up with the idea myself !

Saturday also sees Dubai World Cup night at Meydan and racing has been put back an hour owing to the small matter of 39c in Dubai. I previewed the Group 1 races earlier in the week. There are also three Group 2 races on the card - the Dubai Gold Cup over 3200m on the grass is the big staying prize. The bookies in the UK are going 9/2 four times suggesting this is wide open. TRAWLERMAN was third in this last year before running KYPRIOS close in the Ascot Gold Cup. His final run was again behind KYPRIOS on Champions Day but with the staying champion not in evidence TRAWLERMAN is top rated and has a huge chance. The other three co-favourites all ran in the £1.2 million Red Sea Handicap at the Saudi Cup meeting in Riyadh. EPIC POET was second, CONTINUOUS ran his best race for ages in third while AL NAYYIR was fifth. They were split by five lengths but EPIC POET was race fit while the other two were coming back after lengthy absences so who knows how it will turn out on Saturday? I'm going to oppose them all with DUBAI FUTURE who improved for the step up to 2850m when winning a Group 3 last time and I think will relish the extra trip and may have too much tactical speed for the proven stayers. The Godolphin Mile on the Dirt looks to concern just three - RAGING TORRENT comes over from America and this will be more to his liking then the 1200m of the Breeders Cup Sprint. RAGING TORRENT took out the Malibu over 1400m on Boxing Day but hasn't run since. His form looks better than that of MUFASA who was well beaten in the Dirt Mile at the Breeders Cup and though he beat WHITE ABARIO at Gulefstream, that was over 1400m which wouldn't have played to the latter's strengths. That leaves the French raider NO LUNCH who slammed the useful TRIBALIST at Chantilly a couple of weeks back - the Meydan Dirt isn't the same as the Chantilly Polytrack but the French horse is improving fast. The UAE Derby is so in name only as it's run over 1950m. The American FLOOD ZONE comes here from a win in a Grade 3 at Aqueduct which doesn't look that strong. The Japanese SHIN FOREVER was runner up in the Saudi Derby to GOLDEN VEKOMA who won the UAE 2000 Guineas beating British raider  HEART OF HONOR and on a line through GOLDEN VEKOMA you can give the Jamie Osborne trained runner a chance but I prefer the proven Dirt form of SHIN FOREVER.
