What does it mean when a race horse is claimed? I know it has something to do with people buying or selling race horses.

Claimed means sold.\n\nA claiming race states the asking price.  The money changes hands and the new owner owns the horse at the finish line.

Nothing is for free in the race industry. Have you tried friends that own businesses & local busineses? Have you talk to members of your race team, they may know.Do you know any veterans in the business, they can show you the ropes? Network, network, network If you don't have the time get a manager.

The first time two guys on horseback got into a discussion of whose horse was fastest, there was a horse race.  Bet on it.\n\nIt's known that horses were raced (both chariot and under saddle) in ancient Greece in the Olympics, and the Greek author Homer wrote about chariot racing as part of the funeral games in The Illiad. So we're back to around 1600 BC or so.  There is evidence that the Egyptians may have had chariot races earlier than this.\n\nRiding races depended on having horses that were big enough and strong enough to carry a rider, which was probably not until around 2000 BC.

try looking on the net, or asking around, or go to a local horse farm and see if the owner will comply with what you are looking for.

Morning, \n\nI signed up for one year, and guess what,like everyone else I have heard reporting on it,  the telephone system lost a lot of money.  If the system was any good, they would be able to pick out the winners from the system as they use the "best bets" from the system to put out on their telephone line.  \n\nIf you are really good at finding winners on the system, you probably do not need any system to help you.  Also, you would have to back two or three horses in EVERY race to cover any  potential winner that the system might throw up.   As you can see, that is  an imposible thing to do - you would lose a fortune in one week.  Last summer, they often gave about 20+ points every day to bet on the telephone,  and bearing in mind their points in relation to the profit they advertise in the RP is £100 a point to reach their profit figure.  Needless to say, most of their telephone tips lost or those that won were at short prices, so the loss was huge.\n\nA  lot of the "winners" they claim in the RP are from the system, which they have not managed to find to put on the telephone.  If any of the races that day throw up a winner from the top three, they call that a winner even though they have not found it themselves to give out on the "best" bets form the telephone.  \n\nEvery person I have seen commenting on the system has said don't throw yuour money away and it is a huge con etc.  Obviously, they may have a few good winning bets from time to time (but not when I was a member for a year) to put in their ads but unless you can afford to lose a lot of money (plus the cost of the system and/or tele;phone service, or want to take a huge gamble, be very cautious.  I wish I had been!\n\nPerhaps you can let me know what you decide to do and how it turns out for you.  Good luck\n\nCheers

Its a unique cross!  Im sure he is special.  But, a stallion is a big risk.  Think about his size and controlability.  How many people would really want to breed with him?  Money and safety wise he should be probably be gelded.  Would his stud fee be worth the extra time and attention?  I raise Quarter Horses and have been watching sale prices for a few months lately and I was shocked when sound healthy stallions were selling for less than sound healthy geldings.  You just cant beat the peace of mind you get with a gelding.  Nothing is else is on their mind!

OUCH!! I know horses that would love to kick you right now and watch out for animal rights groups suing you if you keep making such derogatory comments towards animals.

It has nothing to do with the number of the horse.  The numbers, or positions at the start, are drawn randomly.\n\nThe handicapper increases the weight an individual horse has to carry to slow him down, so that at the end of the race, there is the possibility of a photo finish.\n\nIf the handicapper weighted the horses correctly, every horse will hit the finish line at the same time.\n\nThis is usually not the case, because they do not take into account luck, heart, and how each horse is feeling on race day.

The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders' Association (TOBA) has a New Owner's Seminar that can help you to understand what the costs will be.  http://www.toba.org/  Click on the "Owner Education" menu and there's a pretty good run-down.\n\nAs an alternative to being a sole owner of a horse, you might consider joining an ownership syndicate such as Team Valor, Country Life Farm, or Dogwood Stables have.  The Blood-Horse website has a list of racing partnership groups on its website.  http://www.bloodhorse.com/  \n\nThe advantages of such a partnership:  \n\n1.  Most of them specify the costs up front:  you pay to join the partnership, and then you pay a set sum for costs.  Some of the partnerships are packaged so that after the buy-in, there are no additional fees.  So you know exactly how much it's going to cost.  As sole owner of a horse, you can be in for unexpected costs.\n\n2. They do the management of the horse or horses in the partnership for you.  This takes a lot of the work and worry of ownership out of the equation.\n\n3.  You have the option of buying into a multi-horse package.  If you own one horse and something happens to it, you're out of the game.  If you own a piece of several horses, you have a better chance of being in a winner's circle eventually.\n\nOf course, in a partnership, you don't have control of the horse;  and you split the returns, if any, among all the partners.\n\nCheck out the TOBA website.  It's got some good stuff on it.  And if they're having a seminar in your area, you might go and get some additional insights.\n\nGood luck!

Zao an!\n\nWell, usually, we just say he/they finished 3d. However, in horse racing, they say win (1st), place (2d), and show (3d).

usually sell for $60K, if you are willing to believe that then i guess you have a sure thing. NOT Likely..\n\nsounds like a scam. I owned part of a race horse and was lucky to break even.
