Morning Line Club Set to Revolutionize Horse Racing Through Fractional Ownership
I am really excited to be working with Morning Line Club on this exciting new venture. It really is a smart new approach to racing ownership and I think it will be really big. Take fractional horse racing ownership and combine it with the idea behind Masterworks and you’ll have an idea of where this is headed.
As part of the club, you’ll get the thrill of watching your horses run while also being able to play the game on a whole new level — buying and selling shares of MLC horses (as soon as the secondary market comes online soon).
For now, it’s all about buying your entry fees to the club and getting involved. Don’t let the accreditation process deter you — it takes less than 15 minutes and is easy.
Years ago, I wrote a chapter in a book (Upon Further Review by my friend Mike Pesca) where I theorized that horse racing markets (ownership and even wagering) could become their own asset class, all the more appealing to investors because they’d be uncorrelated from other financial markets. Morning Line Club are making that dream a reality.
I met Joel Funk this summer and was immediately impressed with his passion for racing, and his intelligence and attention to detail in figuring out how to execute his idea in the best way possible.
Tom Taaffe — legendary trainer and buyer of horses — I had never met until recently but I’d been aware of him for decades. One of my favo(u)rite days of racing ever was when his horse Kicking King won the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Susan and I bet out on him and there was quite the party that night. You should have seen the respect he commanded around Kentucky Downs, with lots of industry players — including Frankie Dettori - wanting to come up to him to chat and say hello.
This is a great team and a great product and I look forward to having you on board for the ride.
Here’s the official release.
