Own a Piece of the Track: Sam Houston Launches New Racing Club
10 Feb
Summary
- Sam Houston Race Park launched a new racing club with MyRacehorse.
- Members gain true racehorse ownership with equity and earnings.
- The club offers real-time updates and owner-exclusive events.
Sam Houston Race Park has introduced the Sam Houston Racing Club, a significant partnership with MyRacehorse, a leader in fractional racehorse ownership. This initiative redefines fan engagement by offering genuine ownership stakes, complete with equity and participation in earnings. Members will experience Thoroughbred racing from a unique perspective, receiving direct updates on their horse's training and race progress via the MyRacehorse app.
This collaboration empowers members to follow their horse's journey from the barn to race day. Successful horses will yield earnings distributed directly to owners through their MyRacehorse digital wallets. Michael Behrens, CEO of MyRacehorse, highlighted the platform's role in solving challenges of access, communication, education, and transparency for ownership groups.
The partnership also aims to simplify ownership club management for racetracks. Sam Houston Race Park, known for its innovative approach including cashless operations, enhances its guest experience with this immersive racing product. Bryan Pettigrew, GM of Sam Houston Race Park, stated the club meets modern fans' desire for deeper involvement in the sport.
The Sam Houston Racing Club's inaugural horse is sophomore colt Onthethirstyside, trained by Mindy Willis. Willis, a respected trainer at Sam Houston, has a notable career, including training the stakes-winning Texas-bred Sunlit Song.
