Pocket Aces Racing LLC is a racing syndicate formed to provide affordable opportunities for individuals to enjoy the “sport of kings” through fractional ownership. Our goal is to provide all the fun and excitement that thoroughbred racing has to offer with a fraction of the financial risk, none of the hassle, and an extreme level of customer service.

1. Thoroughbred Ownerships
Communication: In speaking with many owners or participants in other
partnerships, it became clear that a lack of communication with the managing
members or trainers is a frustrating problem in the business. Pocket Aces Racing
is committed to frequent and open communication with our partners. In essence,
what we know, you'll know.
Finances
Shares in the Pocket Aces Racing partnerships vary
based on a variety of factors including the cost of
the thoroughbred, time of year purchased, where
the thoroughbred is racing, who is training the
thoroughbred, and the number of months of
maintenance expenses which are being collected up
front.
Typical partnerships are comprised of 10 shares and
each share typically sells for $2,500 - $15,000. We
often make partial shares (halves and quarters)
available as well. Maintenance expenses are billed
quarterly. Expenses are approximately $1,000 per quarter per share (9.9%
ownership). Three to six months of maintenance fees are normally included in
the initial buy-in.
