Hear from our owners
We’ve compiled feedback from real owners about what it’s like to own a race horse with MyRacehorse. Don’t just take it from us – learn from their experiences before taking your own leap into ownership.
Keep up the good work
While I am a small owner/breeder and have my own horses in play, I own with MyRaceHorse because I want to be supportive to the concept. I believe MyRaceHorse has done an excellent job to provide a gateway to race horse ownership. They have done exemplary work in communication and education to new race fans. While my participate is indeed a micro share, I plan to re-invest any payouts into a future share as a commitment to their efforts. Race on!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for supporting the MyRacehorse concept. It means a great deal- especially coming from someone with firsthand experience as an owner and breeder. We’re proud to provide a new pathway into racehorse ownership and to make the sport more accessible through education, communication, and engagement. We appreciate your commitment continuing your racehorse ownership journey with us.

Really like his verbal updates.I am sure they are easier than photos and videos ( which I also like!!!) and hearing the trainer's voice brings something special. Thank You.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad you’re enjoying the verbal updates. We agree wholeheartedly, there’s something special about hearing directly from the trainer! It adds a personal connection and helps bring the horse’s progress to life in a different way. We appreciate you being part of MyRacehorse and thank you for your support!
very disappointed
I bought into 5 horses. I didn't expect to get rich, but my experience has been less than exciting or profitable. Two of the five have been sold returning pennies on the dollar, and a third has gone to the breeding shed and will soon be sold. I couldn't have done worse by gambling away my money by betting on horses.

We understand how disappointing it can feel when outcomes don’t match the excitement that comes with ownership. Thoroughbred racing is inherently unpredictable and considered risky. A good thing to note is MyRacehorse’s one-time payment structure ensures that shareholders incur no additional out-of-pocket expenses for your horse’s ongoing care and the management of the series. The reserve account is funded with a portion of the money collected from the initial offering and purse earnings when necessary to replenish the reserve. This means you know exactly what your costs are at the time of purchase, which is a significant difference from traditional ownership, where the initial purchase price is often far less than the ongoing costs required to keep a horse healthy and in training.
Experience Based
Owning horses from My Racehorse is for the experience, do not think you will make any money. They have every angle covered (acquisition cost, management fee, legal, significant reserves, etc.). Some races you'll only get $2-3 if your horse wins. When horses are retired, you get a lump sum but no detailed accounting of where all the money went. The lump sum for the NY Bred Bundle seems very low considering the reserves. I think the Broodmare Bands are the best way to go. My Racehorse does a great job communicating horse staus, race information, etc., just not much on the Financials when horses are claimed, sold, retired.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. You’re right that for many owners, MyRacehorse is primarily about the experience: getting closer to the sport, following horses along the way, and being part of a community. We’re glad to hear you’ve found value in the communication, horse updates, and race-day information, as those are core to what we aim to deliver! As for the financial feedback you gave, when a horse’s series is closed, full financial breakdowns are provided in the closure documents. Additionally, full audited financials are available through SEC, and they are filled twice a year for periods ending in December and June of each year.
Amazing
What an amazing adventure I bought my first horse, Authentic, in 2020 and he won the Kentucky Derby that year. I was able to go to Kentucky and visit him and a few other Horse Farms. I get a great pleasure owning these Race Horses.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Being part of Authentic’s Kentucky Derby journey in 2020 was a special moment, and we’re glad you had the opportunity to visit him in Kentucky and tour several horse farms. Creating meaningful, behind-the-scenes experiences and real connections to your horses is at the heart of what we do. Here’s to many more memorable moments ahead!
I love MRH!!
My husband passed in 2013. He had ALS and knew how much I enjoyed horse racing. We would go to the races together until he could no longer travel. He encouraged me to purchase some horses through MRH so about a year after he passed I purchased my first 3 horse microshares. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself. The MRH experiences have pulled me out of my sadness and depression after losing my husband and best friend and companion! I have enjoyed every moment of my time in MRH and have made so many new friends who are just as horse crazy as I am. And it's so affordable! You can spend as much or as little as you like. What a wonderful organization!
