Officials with the Meadowlands Racetrack have announced that ‘The Stable’ will be holding a new-owner seminar and information night at the East Rutherford, New Jersey raceway on Saturday, March 12.
The Stable – which is also commonly referred to as ‘thestable.ca’ – is a new fractional ownership group headed by veteran Canadian horseman Anthony MacDonald.
The owner seminar / information night on March 12 will get underway at 6:30 p.m. in the ‘Pink’ skyboxes. The event is free to attend, although advanced reservations are required (please send an email to [email protected] if you are interested in attending). Light refreshments will be served.
Under The Stable’s concept, anyone can purchase any percentage of the horses available in MacDonald’s stable and pay a flat rate each month for that percentage. In addition, MacDonald provides weekly HD videos of the horse’s training, plus access to the training centre and racetracks. It is all designed to attract new owners to the sport and provide a unique experience that only the sport of harness racing can provide, all while doing so in an affordable manner.
“Thestable.ca is the most inexpensive way to enjoy the best part of harness racing, horse ownership,” MacDonald has been quoted as saying in the release. “A one per cent investment can cost as little as $100 and your bill for that same one per cent ownership is 55 cents per day. We simply took the unaffordable for most people, and made it affordable for everyone.”
The Stable has already attracted 46 investors.
