FAQs

Please read through our partnership FAQs to learn more about our membership opportunities. We are a unique Racing partnership within the sport of thoroughbred racing.

We offer ownership in only one partnership Turf Express Racing Partners, LLC and do not offer micro-shares, or even shares of an individual horse that you can buy into.

This partnership is a partnership for individuals of high net worth that have a passion for winning races at the highest level of horse racing. Partners will buy units in Turf Express Racing Partners, LLC. The partnership has chosen to raise Between $3 and $5 million and will close out on July 1, 2022.

Turf Express Racing Partners, LLC contains horses owned 100% by Turf Express Racing Partners, LLC, as well as a percentage of multiple other horses.

These horses are selected by Mark A. Cornett the managing partner and also is 20% owner of Turf Express Racing Partners, LLC

The main goal of the partnership is to win Graded Stakes races and to increase the asset value of the horses purchased. The focus of the partnership will be to buy horses that are currently running that the managing partner Mark A. Cornett has identified as a prospect for the partnership.

This is difficult to say as we only buy horses that we see hidden talent in and that we can purchase for what we feel is the correct price. We do not own horses just to race horses. We have a specific business plan and vison for each horse before we purchase them.

It is anticipated however that Turf Express Racing Partners, LLC would own between 12 – 25 horses within twelve months of formation. This could also include owning a percentage of a horse. It just depends if we can find the right horse for the partnership.
