MyRacehorse ownership program returns to Canada in partnership with Woodbine

TORONTO — MyRacehorse is back in Canada.

The thoroughbred racing fractional ownership program returned to Canada on Thursday in partnership with Woodbine Entertainment. It hadn’t been available to Canadians since 2023 due to regulatory issues.

The platform won the $400,000 Prince of Wales Stakes — the second jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown — in 2022 with Duke of Love, a horse trained by Hall of Fame conditioner Josie Carroll.

MyRacehorse returns to the Canadian market with Atlantic Voyage ’24, a Canadian-bred two-year-old filly. The horse will be trained by Carroll, who is targeting a debut next month at Woodbine Racetrack.

“My experience when they had that nice horse, Duke of Love, was a really fun experience particularly for new owners,” said Carroll, who earned her fourth career $1-million King’s Plate victory in August with filly Luster. “It’s a chance for the everyday person to get a feel of what it was like to own a racehorse.

“Certainly, the days he ran it put a lot of fans in the stands, a lot of people turned out to watch their horse.”

The program was previously available in Canada in 2021 and ’22. It’s comparable to the publicly held, non-profit American corporation that owns the NFL’s Green Bay Packers. Unlike other pro sports franchises that are owned by individuals or corporate entities, the Packers are owned by shareholders.

With MyRacehorse, individuals pay a one-time fee of as little as $100 per share in a horse. There are no additional monthly fees or payments.

Participants receive a dividend in the event their horse turns a profit. They also receive regular updates and photos, opportunities for stable visits, special race-day access and use of MyRacehorse’s ownership app. The company says it has over 100,000 owners in the United States, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Atlantic Voyage ’24 is a half-sister to Curlin’s Voyage, a two-time Canadian champion and the 2020 Woodbine Oaks winner.

Carroll said the two-year-old filly’s bloodlines are interesting.

“Her family has a great history in Canada,” she said. “We won the Canadian Oaks with the half-sister and that makes her intriguing, for sure.”

MyRacehorse fractional owners were also involved with Authentic, the ’20 Kentucky Derby and Breeders’ Cup Classic winner, and Seize the Grey, the ’24 Preakness champion.
