Horse Overview

I have a very unique opportunity on offer for those keen to be involved in a racehorse but might not have the often huge $$$ needed for a steep purchase price at the yearling sales!

In October 2025, our lovely Medaglia D’Oro mare Bacosi foaled a stunning big Pride of Dubai colt at Coolmore Stud (now a yearling).

Pride of Dubai is a very underrated stallion with 18 stakes winners for 48 stakes winners – with the likes of Bella Nipotina & Pride of Jenni being part of his star studded progeny.

If you are a pedigree fan, you will see that Bacosi with Pride of Dubai progeny is an A+++ rating which is the highest rating possible & the reason we strategically chose Pride of Dubai. If you look at the pedigree of Bella Nipotina, she has Lion Hunter (Danehill) on the dam’s side, as does Bacosi.

In the past what we’ve done as private breeders, are raise our foals, have them broken in, they get to 18 months old & then we offer shares to race them at a price that aims to somewhat recoup costs, which is often at the $60-80K mark depending on the stallion’s service fee. Rather than do that & have buyers come up with $6-8K for a 10% share in one hit, I thought this idea might just work!

If you like the Pride of Dubai progeny & this colt with his A+++ pedigree, & are excited at the idea of being in at the start, then what I’d love to offer is a nominal buy in price for a 5 or 10% share, and then a percentage of costs are passed on monthly which means that for the next 12 months, through weaning, early baby education, breaking etc – at the most those costs would come up to a maximum of $100 a month at 5%, and at times will be half that whilst spelling, so no great expense there.

Essentially what you are doing is paying a nominal buy in price and then “paying off” your share in a very well bred colt over the next year, which will end up a lot less than coming up with a $10K purchase price for 10% in one hit at the 18 months old mark. And you get to enjoy the progress from cheeky weanling, to teenager, through breaking in, pre-training & then getting him to the races.

Bacosi is throwing really nice progeny – her 3yo Zousain filly Isla Delilah (yearling photos attached – bay) has just come back from a spell & was very unlucky to not break her maiden in her first campaign, with 4 placings from 6 starts and being beaten just .1 of a length in a 2200m race. She’s a genuine stayer and just broke her maiden over 1680m, 2nd up on 19-08-26 at Ipswich! Her 2yo Anders filly Bel Tiro (yearling photos attached – chestnut) seems to be following in the footsteps of her big sister & needs time to mature, so she’s in the paddock and will make a return as a 3yo.

This nice big Pride of Dubai colt is a yearling now (DOB 13-10-25) and was weaned in July and has completed some early education. From the video attached you can see that he is a very strong looking colt, quite big for his age & has a bit of spirit about him. The trainer is very happy with how he’s progressed through his early learning, saying that he has a lovely nature, is very smart & willing & correct in his confirmation.

You can be a part of bringing this lovely colt through his baby education to his breaking in next year and then he’ll be off to Munce Racing for his early 2yo campaign. We are sending Bacosi to a QLD stallion so this colt will be eligible for QTIS as well as BOBS bonuses.

If you like the idea of an affordable buy in price & then small monthly installments to get this lovely colt to the races, then please send me through your interest & we’ll take it from there!

Thank you & I hope you can join us in bringing this lovely colt through to the races!
