The joy of ownership im afraid. The trainer will keep updating you on how well everything is going and how soon he'll run. Then no matter how bad he runs he'll spin it so as you'll actually think he ran well. Best of luck with your horse anyway. It's all a bit of fun if it's not too expensive.

Yeah I'm not really grumbling but, I would like to go to a course as 'an owner'.
Do they explain how that works if there are 100s of share holders, or if you buy say 5% do you get to go?

There's probably hundreds if not more who have a share.
When it runs you can enter a ballot and a few will get in the ring etc.

Yes thats what its all about. like the others say if theres a huge amount wanting to go they'll have a ballot. If it runs at a course near you you may have a better chance as those further away are unlikely to travel.

I've heard that having a horse in training is an expensive hobby. Not too bad if you're in a syndicate, I suppose.

Syndicates are a cheap enough way of getting into the game. During covid when no one was travelling I was the sole member who lived close enough to roscommon, so I got to experience the whole owner experience . That syndicate membership was only €200 a year all in.
Individually you'd be looking at €20K a year.
