Horse question for GREENHEAD

I noticed in another thread that you either own/train horses. I was wondering if you had any thoughts/opinions on partnerships offered by Dogwood or Centennial ? I know there are many others out there(Team Valor,Karakourom,..etc) but these are the 2 that I have looked into. Any other suggestions, for someone who doesn't have many contacts in the industry,to go about owning their 1st racehorse ?

Thanks, David

DAV 168-This is my opinion on the questions you have asked.When considering to buy a race horse with partnerships I see nothing wrong with it for most people.But for me it would not work. WHY? The reason it would not work for me is becouse I want to make the decision on what to buy,who to train,and where to run.In a quick nut shell:do your homework:find the best trainer available to train your horse.Look for the high % trainers.They are high % for a reason.They win.You have to win in this business to survive.When claiming a horse try to claim from a LOW % trainer.This way your trainer can improve on the horse and you can win some races.Remember when getting into owning horses it is a VERY expensive sport.Training,food,shoes,vets,jockeys,etc,etc adds up quick.So a partnership may be best for you.I spent 10 minuites answering some ?'s of yours I would need days to answer them fully.But most importantly do your homework.Watch replays-look at numbers ask questions and learn before you jump right into it.Later GREENHEAD

Thank you. I appreciate the response. Best of luck to you. It is a great sport and one that I wish to be involved with someday in ways other than just a gambler.

By the way, have you caught that show ON GSN,America Dream Derby ? They took a great conceptual idea and turned it into another terrible reality show.
