About Our Partnerships


Pocket Aces Racing LLC is a racing syndicate formed to provide affordable opportunities
for individuals to enjoy the sport of kings through fractional ownership.
Our goal is to provide all the fun and excitement that thoroughbred racing has to offer
with a fraction of the financial risk, none of the hassle, and an extreme level of customer
service.

There are many companies offering racing partnerships around the country. Why should
you consider Pocket Aces Racing when exploring partnership opportunities?
Affordable Shares: Unlike the majority of partnership
opportunities, Pocket Aces Partnerships are
affordable. We don't over inflate (or mark up) the price
of the horses. Shares in our partnerships are typically
available for around $1,500 - $10,000 depending on
the purchase price of the horse and the number of
shares available.

In the Money: Pocket Aces runners have finished in the money in nearly 50% of their
starts. Even more impressive, Pocket Aces runners have "cashed a check" in more
than 90% of their starts.
Limited Expenses: Because Pocket Aces Racing builds the initial budget to include all
normal, expected expenses through a pre-determined period of time, additional
expenses beyond the initial contribution are minimal. In addition, purse earnings
are utilized to pay for future expenses.

Finances
Shares in the Pocket Aces Racing partnerships vary based on a variety of factors
including the cost of the thoroughbred, time of year purchased, where the
thoroughbred is racing, who is training the thoroughbred, and the number of
months of maintenance expenses which are being collected up front.
Typical partnerships are comprised of 10 shares and each share typically sells for
$2,500 - $15,000. We often make partial shares (halves and quarters) available as
well. Maintenance expenses are billed quarterly. Expenses are approximately $1,000
per quarter per share (9.9% ownership). Three to six months of maintenance fees
are normally included in the initial buy-in.
