1. Contrarian
The Shadai/Sunday list was announced the other day, and the season for fractional horse ownership has finally arrived.
I'm sure there are some people out there who are already involved in fractional horse ownership and others who want to get started, so I'd like to share my tips for fractional horse ownership.
I've been doing share ownership for a long time and I feel that there are no good deals for share ownership. For now, there are three things to be aware of:
1. Be skeptical of horses that seem good
Horses that look good to everyone become popular, but for some reason I haven't been getting very good results.
Horses that look good but are too expensive for their lineage are the ones that people avoid because of their price (e.g. Orfevre, Sole Oriens, etc.).
2. Be skeptical of bargain horses
It seems that horses that are said to be a bargain at this price with this bloodline have not produced any results.
Is there a reason why it's so cheap? I'm still stuck on this, so I'm going to graduate this year.
3. Be suspicious of the progeny of popular sires
When I see the offspring running during the recruitment, they look good and I want them (last year it was Kitasan's offspring, this year it's Swave Richard and Contrail's offspring).
But most of these attempts ended in failure. The only horses that were able to run after the first race were the offspring of Stay Gold.
However, as soon as the Stay x McQueen combination was noticed in horses like Orfée and Gold Ship, he stopped running well.
Contrarian trading is a very effective technique in the horse world, so be sure to give it a try.
