Amazing price to pay for a Mare. Why with her sprint record send her to Galileo ?
Pause Switch to Standard View Marsha at six million Guineas.

what sort of 'divi up' will those elite members receive ? Surely a significant reduction on membership renewals?
Report Oldgit1 December 6, 2017 1:07 PM GMT
I Guess they hope for another Winter.
Perhaps next time they will go for pure speed.
Now that Elite are flush with cash I wonder who they will send Marsha's dam Marlinka to.

elite members get nothing from the sale of marsha.

Acclamation: should be no 1  so you end up with a full sister/brother to Marshsa

who get's the money?
or do they reinvest?
Report ashleigh December 6, 2017 1:26 PM GMT
according to the manager the money will keep costs down and better stallions for the mares they own.

I like the idea of a sibling but they probably be tempted by new blood.
Report Gordon63 December 6, 2017 3:30 PM GMT
better stallions fair enough but if they were commercially viable operation beforehand then surely some of the £6M windfall should be either a dividend or a 'share buy-back' sort of scheme..

Oldgit1 . Why would you want to try new blood? If they have a colt they could sell @ huge profit as a yearling(if thats their M.O) Acclamation £30,000 gns fee.
If a filly could race and a bit of black type could again make a packet . Trying something different when you have a proven formula doesnt really make commercial sense.

Would make sense to give some of the windfall back to "shareholders". I wonder if any memebers on here know??

I'm a member again. I had been years ago when it first started and rejoined this year mainly because of my being taken by Marsha. We know the rules when we join so cant expect a windfall on the strength of the sale. I wonder if Sir Mark gets a bung from it.
Acclamation is getting on a bit how are his present offspring doing? I can see that they still sell for big prices.

How does Prize-Money distribution work?
Report Oldgit1 December 6, 2017 7:34 PM GMT
In a very good year like this it may pay for a quarter of your next years £199 subscription.  2016/2017 were exceptional thanks to Martha with over £500K in prize money this year. Basically it is the interest in hearing about the horses, the breeding programme and their progress with a weekly magazine sent plus stable/racecourse visits and trainers views on the horses before and after races. There is a free daily one horse tipping service that seems quite good. They had four or five on the trot until a close second yesterday   
Prize money won by the Club horses during the period of membership is distributed equally amongst the Members at the end of the Member´s 12 months membership period and whereas the sum to date (since 1992) has exceeded £2.5million, there can never be any guarantee of any future level of prize money, given that this is dependent on how well the horses perform on the racecourse and the quantity of Members at the point of each race.
