Prize money

Members receive their share of prize money in proportion to their percentage

What it costs

Year one, per share

£1,115The upfront plus twelve monthly payments.

A year, per share

£892For 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

£357The 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.

Share size

2.5%

At the end

You own a share of the horse and a share of anything it is sold for. What that will be worth is unknown.

If the horse's career ends

Aftercare
