The micro-share syndicate MyRacehorse is branching into the world of breeding with a syndicate involving star stayer Stradivarius (Ire) and in partnership with the National Stud.
Through the latter the group purchased the Dark Angel (Ire) three-year-old Blackbird Power (GB) at the Tattersalls December Mare Sale. A six-furlong winner for Andrew Balding, she will be sent to Stradivarius next season, with shares of both the mare and her resulting foal will be sold before both are reoffered at the Breeding Stock Sale at the end of 2024.
“When The National Stud approached us with this idea, we knew we had to be a part of it,” said Jules Pittam, a managing partner of MyRacehorse in the UK and Ireland.
“We promise our owners top racehorses and unique experiences, and you really can't beat owning one of the first foals by the phenomenal Stradivarius. Add in the fact that owners will have ample opportunity to visit The National Stud and see not only their foal, but Stradivarius as well, and you have a real once-in-lifetime opportunity.”
The National Stud's CEO Anna Kerr added, “Our partnership with MyRacehorse gives racing fans an opportunity to experience horse racing ownership in a totally different way. Stradivarius is a modern racing icon, and the opportunity to be a part of his stud career will enable those involved to build a deep connection with one of the most popular Flat horses in recent memory. We are looking forward to welcoming owners to the next chapter of Stradivarius's story and look forward to this syndicate providing MyRacehorse owners with a truly unique experience.”
