The creation of unique ideas is typically driven by a fundamental and singular passion. In the case of MyRacehorse, our founder and CEO Michael Behrens was an impassioned racing fan, drawn to the concept of revolutionizing Thoroughbred ownership by delivering it to the masses. His vision was to share the thrills and perks of real ownership in a manner both inclusive and transparent; and throw open the doors of what has largely been perceived as the sport of kings. 

What started as a dinner table discussion with his family — with a napkin he scrawled ideas upon — morphed into the birth of MyRacehorse in 2018 in the state of California. MyRacehorse’s vision became bolder with the support of the late B. Wayne Hughes of Spendthrift Farm who embraced our mission, which led to 5,314 of our owners having a once-in-a-lifetime experience with Authentic when he won the 2020 Kentucky Derby, and who now remain partners in the stallion’s breeding career.

Now in its fifth year, MyRacehorse has spread globally, offering affordable racehorse ownership in Australia, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, with further expansion on the horizon.
