There are several ways to make a return on your investment but please understand most people go into horse ownership not to make money but for the experience and passion they have for it. Every time the horse races there are purse earnings. You are entitled to your ownership percentage of that amount. California Racing Partners does not charge a fee or "rake" any of your winnings. The second way is through the revenues earned if the horse is sold. The horse may be sold for racing, breeding or stud. For instance, if a mare has been successful on the track, having won stakes races, her value could increase dramatically and may be sold by the partnership yielding you a profit. If any horse is sold privately or through auction California Racing Partners will hold 10% off the top as is customary. Horse racing can be expensive, and in most horses you will not recover all the money you have invested. You should not invest solely to try to earn a profit. Partnering on a horse, in general, reduces your overall expenses and increases your chances of success by allowing you the opportunity to own more horses.
