What it costs

Year one, per share

£1,089The upfront plus a year of fees, stated as £395 every six months.

A year, per share

£890For comparison. The upfront buys a share that lasts beyond year one, so it is spread over an assumed three-year racing life.

Per 1% of the horse

£445The figure that makes offers comparable. A £54 share and a £5,000 share are not alike until you divide by how much of the horse each one buys.
