Ladbrokes Poker Players, from the UK and Ireland, have the chance to win a share in a high-class racehorse. It was bought by our crack team of bloodstock experts at the Goff Orby Million Yearling Sales and will be running in the 2006 Flat Season. All prize money will be shared out between shareholders. The more shares you win, the more prize money you receive, and the more selling on fee you get at the end of the year.
The beautifully bred animal cost €110,000. He is a grey son of ‘Stravinsky’, a great sprinter trained by Aiden O’Brien, which won the July Cup in 2000. The dam is Lady in Waiting by Woodman.
The horse will be aimed at the inaugural 2006 Goffs Million two year old race, with €1,000,000 to the winner, to be held at the Curragh next September. This race is exclusively for horses purchased at the prestigious Goff Orby Sales.
All training fees and other costs for one year are covered, and at the end of this period the horse will be sold – even if it’s the winter favorite for the Derby! Shares in the horse, which includes the value we bought him for plus stable, trainer and vet fees, is $1,000 each and there are 200 shares up for grabs. The value of the shares incorporates Laddies Poker's potential stud value, in that when the horse is sold, this potential value will be realized. Breeding rights will not be retained by shareholders post the planned sale of Laddies Poker at the end of the 2006 Flat Season.The horse has been named ‘Laddies Poker’ and will run in Ladbrokes Poker’s famous white silks with red diamonds.
As a shareholder in Laddies Poker, you will receive a range of fantastic benefits and opportunities. As well as your Laddies Poker Owners pack, you will also have the chance to win some excellent days out. Our first package was Cheltenham Hospitality on Gold Cup day for four lucky shareholders. The Newmarket experience is the next package for ten shareholders, which will include an evening of Poker at a top hotel, breakfast, a trip to the stables and gallops to see 'Laddies Poker' in full flow and to meet Jeremy Noseda followed up by hospitality on 2000 Guineas day. What a reason to get involved - If you love your racing, you’ll love this fantastic prize.
Shareholders will also have the opportunity to win trips to meetings to see the horse race, and you will be cheering him on, as you will have an invested interest on him winning.
