Stud Farms – A Smarter Investment than Betting



If you thought that the only way to make money from horse-racing was to win an outsider filled triple trio bet...think again. The real pros know just where the risk free dough is – Stud Farms.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, currently has 17 stallions standing at stud in Darley - a stone’s throw from Lexington International Airport. Previously known as Jonabell farms - after respected horse man John A. Bell III, it was renamed Darley after it was purchased in 2001 by the Sheikh.

Darley commands between $7,500 and $150,000 dollars for every successful deed and during the breeding season studs are working three times a day, with a goal of impregnating around 2,000 mares. That’s a pretty good return on investment, considering few of the stallions ran more than a dozen races in their entire careers.

If you think this is a great way to make money - consider this. The Richman’s IMC affiliate - Royal Nanjing Jockey Club (RNJC) in China will be requiring more than 4,000 horses to cover all of its planned races there. Owning bloodstock and in a stud farm at RNJC with exclusive rights to supply this demand is sure to be big business.

China has the world’s largest population of people known to love all forms of gaming. The fact that Macau has overtaken Las Vegas in gaming related turnover is proof that the Chinese love gambling and consider it an investment or business. Because of this attitudinal position, compulsive addiction to gambling and its resultant downside is much less of a problem among the Chinese when compared to others on a relative basis.

Furthermore, China is also the world’s fastest growing economy and is creating a record number of new millionaires and an affluent middle class of active shoppers.
