Thestable.ca held its second information seminar this past weekend at Woodbine Racetrack in Etobicoke, and the turnout was great.
We have been optimistic from day one that fractional ownership delivered to the general public would represent a staging point for our industry to finally be headed in the right direction.
Every new owner to our game represents an infinite amount of new fans.
New fans represent potential future clients for horsemen and also represent potential wagering revenue.
There are now over forty investors in The Stable, and another 60 who have initialized dialogue and are curious about fractional ownership.
These forty people are minority investors in 23 horses for the most part, and we still have plenty of room for more investment.
Imagine how many people these investors can bring to the track with them this summer? We aren't just growing interest in our sport, we are breathing life into it.
The Toronto Sun also visited The Stable last weekend.
With a story being written in the coming weeks, and our last seminar of the season being offered at the Meadowlands racetrack in New Jersey, we are likely to run out of shares before investors.
This is great news for The Stable and even greater news for horse racing.
