The opportunity to own a piece of a successful sports franchise may be more attainable than you think.

The United States Trotting Association (USTA), in conjunction with the Standardbred Horse Sales Co., welcomes those considering first time purchase of a Standardbred to learn more about harness racing and how to become a partner in racehorse ownership.

The Harrisburg Sale Mixer will be held Thursday, November 5 at the Pennsylvania State Farm Show complex, in Harrisburg, PA, at 5 p.m. Guests will be treated to light appetizers and cocktails and hear from top trainers and owners who have mastered racehorse ownership in today’s market.

Attendees will be given an overview of the business and learn about the process of owning a racehorse, and presented with the many options to consider when purchasing a racehorse. The benefits and risks associated with purchase options will be discussed to help participants understand what choices may be best for them – from partnerships and fractional groups to yearling investments and claiming racehorses.

They will also be able to get up close and personal with some of the racehorses arriving for the mixed sale and learn the ‘ins and outs’ of what to look for in a productive racehorse.

Standardbred racehorse ownership offers owners the opportunities to be as involved with their investment as they desire, and with buy in options as low as $350, there are investment options to suit anyone’s budget and interest.
