The goals of RLLOSEY.COM are to help Thoroughbred industry investors locate advantageous deals in seasons and foal and mare-shares (see the last paragraph for more info), and to present analyses and comments on equine (and standard) finance, investments, economics, education, the Thoroughbred industry, and the game of Bridge.
Starting in graduate school at UKy, Bob Losey utilized “foal share” and “mare share” deals to stretch his budget to allow him to breed to better stallions and/or help him “make” young mares, often well-bred mares he and friends claimed for four or low five-figure prices. A foal share deal three decades ago with top-ten stallion El Gran Senor resulted in SW El Gran Pappa, a $220,000 yearling that eventually won over $620,000. More recently Losey was astute?/lucky? enough to foal share two well-bred mares he claimed for less than 10K each to Good Magic, resulting in sales prices averaging low six figures. (Thanks Hill n’ Dale and Rita Ricelli!).
In the last two years Losey has bred his own or client’s mares on foal shares to 1) a stallion standing in 2026 for $50,000 that (in October 2025) is second on the freshman sire list, 2) the sire of hip 581 – a $125,000 October 2025 Fasig yearling sale. Losey claimed the Hip 581 Uncle Mo dam for $8,000. 3) a 50K stallion whose runners have earned more than $100mil. 4) and more…
