Our Horse Ownership Groups
AHA Group Ownership Racing
We exclusively race our horses in Australia, the prizemoney is several times greater and the breadth of racing opportunities incomparable. All Group Owners % of ownership is registered directly in each horse with Racing Australia… all stakes’ winnings are paid directly. Similarly training costs are billed to owners directly relative to % ownership. We do not handle any money ensuring the process is 100% transparent and trustworthy.
We have 6 Multiple Horse Group Ownerships now racing in Australia. Of the first 7 horses to race so far, 3 were first up Maiden winners… collectively the 7 have accumulated 8 Wins, 7 x 2nd placings & 8 x 3rd placings for their group owners. An impressive beginning by any standards.
Owners have turned down combined offers of $2.1m for 3 of our horses to date, preferring as a group to own and race them. Of course, there can always come a time when the money is too irresistible, and a democratic decision made by all to accept it.
In each Horse Group we include colts and fillies. The colts offer a chance of remaining entire and providing a lottery like return should they successfully get to Group Racing (pinnacle of Australian Racing) level. Most colts are unable to remain entire and race successfully, so are gelded to focus on racing. When fillies have a successful racing career their post racing value as a broodmare can be significant, potentially multiples of the owners original purchase price.
We purchase all our horses as yearlings, from there it is circa 18-24 months before they race. It is important to be patient, too many horses are pushed too hard as 2-year-olds resulting in shorter racing careers, or career ending injuries. At Aha, we care for our horses, their physical and mental well-being is paramount. This approach is invariably followed by greater success. It’s why we work with the calibre and quality of trainers we do.
