Frequently asked questions
How do I become a racehorse owner?
Becoming an owner is more accessible than you might think. You can acquire a horse outright or buy shares (from 1% to 100%). TS Bloodstock guides you through selecting the right horse, choosing a trainer and handling all the administrative formalities.
What budget should I plan for?
Budgets vary widely depending on the discipline, age and breeding of the horse. A yearling can cost from a few thousand to several hundred thousand euros. On top of that, monthly training fees run to approximately EUR 2,000 to 3,500 per month in France.
What are the potential returns?
Returns depend on the level of competition. France offers some of the most generous prize money in the world. A horse running regularly at provincial level can earn a few thousand euros per race, while a Group horse can generate tens or even hundreds of thousands of euros.
What is the difference between flat racing and trotting?
Flat racing encompasses turf and all-weather races as well as jump racing (hurdles, steeplechase). Trotting is divided into harness racing (sulky) and mounted trot. The two disciplines offer different experiences in terms of budget, race frequency and prize money.
