About Coast Racing

Have you ever heard of the the five high school friends who had a dream to own Thoroughbred racehorses, formed Sakatoga stable, and bought a chestnut gelding to race in New York? Do you remember when Funny Cide won the Kentucky Derby back in 2003? The folks at Coast Racing do, and since then have banded together to make the dream a reality here in sunny Southern California.

Ritchie and Pete, the founding members of Coast Racing, are racing enthusiasts who originally got involved in the sport by joining a racing syndicate. It soon became apparent that the sport was challenging enough without having to pay monthly syndicate fees and huge purse takeouts to the syndicate managers. After hearing the story of the five friends from New York who had just won the Kentucky Derby, a partnership was formed, and Coast Racing began racing horses on the Southern California circuit.

Coast Racing is not a commercial syndicate or limited partnership, rather a group of race fans that are living the dream of racehorse ownership by working together as a team. By doing so they are able to reduce costs and risk, yet enjoy all the benefits of participating in "the sport of kings". In order to maximize success on the track, the partners at Coast Racing believe that team work is essential, and strive to work closely with top trainers, jockeys, and bloodstock agents in California.
