By Ericka Marsh


Many people are investing their money in several business opportunities. With such investments, they could be gaining more money. They could be improving their lifestyles, too.

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.

A future owner should be considering the whole cost of this venture. He should be checking the price which a seller will be quoting for the breed. He should also be considering the amount he will be spending in purchasing essential things for his breed. These things may include its feeds, vaccinations, supplements, or others. The purchaser should see to it that he has enough budget in covering these expenditures.

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.

After possessing the thoroughbred, the owner should be hiring a good trainer. The professional will be training and preparing the animal for the race which it will be participating in. The owner should be looking for one with a favorable reputation for him to be expecting the best condition for his racehorse.

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.
