I have a horse racing horse well my dad and my dads brother bought it for 30,000 from Mexico so we do it in Mexican style because we are also from mexico
Hi Martin. Fantastic video, if you were wanting to purchase a foal to be a future race horse, where/ how would you go about purchasing one? Would love to see it grow and be part of the journey from the very beginning when me and partner become owners one day. Many thanks.
Hi Alex, thank you very much! Some of my owners are also breeders and I have contacts in some of the bigger studs as well so I would begin there. Other than that there is a big folalbsale here in Newmarket at the end of each November. That’s also a good place to start.
Hi im new to all this racing stuff, so please excuse my ignorance but please can you advise me? i have bought a 10 year old TB mare, unamed on her passport, her dam is an unraced mare called 'Crepe De Chine' (french), her dam is unraced but was bred 9 times in total by her owners, one of her gelding sons is currantly racing, his name is 'Dr Kananga' (half brother to my mare). My mare's sire is an american bred TB called 'Beat All' who is himself a winner and producer of winners. I wanted to breed my mare with a warmblood but now im thinking i want to breed her with a TB stallion and see what happens, please can you give me some advise as an owner/breeder who wishes to enter the world of racing? many thanks and much love from lancashire.
Hi Mary yes I would love to help if I can. I will look up the relatives of your mare to see what would make a good potential match for her. If you could send me a quick email at martin@martinsmithracing.com then I will get back to you and we can have a discussion to see what your best options are.
@@Training_Racehorses hi sweet and thank you for responding. i have a short vid of my mare that does not do her justice, i will be going back up to the stables later to give her an evening feed and will get a proper vid of her then, in the meantime i will try and send the short video i have of her. many thanks, mary xxx
Generally fitness = the speed of recovery so once they’re doing good gallops and taking the work well they are ready but you get to know them all individually after a while and you can see how they are in themselves.
Absolutely yes! I bought one of my best horses (Hillbilly Boy) from a selling race for less then £10K and less than 6 months later he took me to Royal Ascot!
@@ronanthompson6722 Yes I prefer the jumpers too, I think it’s a more even playing field and you have a better chance of getting a good horse without spending hundreds of thousands of pounds.
@@Training_Racehorses agreed , i had a mare recently, only cost 2,000 . She won a handicap at Dundalk and a point to point , sadly she passed away with a heart attack recently
@@ronanthompson6722 that is a shame! The horse in this video was practically given away as a youngster because he was backwards. He is a six-year-old now and he’s entered in the Eider chase at Newcastle next week. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GSCRGeI7VQs.html
25k... You're kidding right? You'd get a horse trained here in Ireland where prize money is better for 16/17k and that would be all in including 6/7 runs. Excluding expensive vet bills, wind ops etc, most horses wouldn't require major vet attention hence an unusual extra
That’s a very good point Rory. Obviously I can only talk about racing in England as that is where I am based but when you look further afield the best value for money is probably France or America. Besides I’m not sure how many people would relish the prospect of spending all that money to watch their horse run at Sligo.
