Mojo’s
Partnership structure is based on 10 fundamental elements:
Concept, Concept Provide an
easy, affordable, and fun Ownership experience. We
create good Mojo by placing the best interest of the horse first;
upholding high standards; and being good stewards of the Industry. To learn
more, click the Mojo Concept To prove
that ordinary people can be upstanding and successful Thoroughbred Race
Horse Owners. And, good Runners can be
purchased for a reasonable price. Ethical
Standards (1) Provide the
best care,
attention, and environment available to our Runners. (2) We demand the
highest
adherence to racing rules, regulations, and playing by the book in
every
jurisdiction. Cheating is not accepted or tolerated. (3) We will not
compromise the
Integrity of our Partners or this Partnership to achieve the Mojo
Mission. (4) We do not
support illegal
medication use or unauthorized drugs. In fact, we prefer to limit
the use
of medications in our Runners. (5) Communication
at all
levels is important to keep all Partners informed about the status of
our
particular Runners. Lying, deception, and elusive practices
damage the
trust of this relationship and are not accepted or tolerated. Scope We are a
"boutique" Partnership. We
don’t pretend to be everything to everyone, and we don’t
act like we’re a big
syndicate. We concentrate on providing a
specialized experience to folks who are willing to live by the Mojo
Creed. Profit
Motive The
Partnership is not structured to make a profit off of the
Partners’ Investments
or their contributed monthly expenses. In
fact, the Terms of the Partnership have been specifically drafted to
ensure that only the costs associated with managing our Runners and the
Partnership
are shared equally on a “break even” basis. The
Partnership, however, is structured so that each of the respective
Partners can
realize a net profit only if their Mojo Runner earns enough purse
money;
is sold (publicly or privately); claimed; and/or syndicated. Number
of Partners The number of Partners
could differ for each horse. We’ve
learned that
the ideal minimum is based upon the objective,
and the Managing Partner will decide what is the best number
to ensure the monthly costs are set at an affordable level to
ensure the Partnership's liquidity. Leadership The Mojo
Partnership and each of the Runners within the Partnership are lead by
the Managing Partner (MP)—Mojo's MP is Fred Taylor, Jr. The Terms of the Partnership have been written
so that the MP makes the final
decision on all matters related to the Partnership, as well as our
Runners’
racing interests. That said, the MP
may consult with the Senior Partners (if there are any) before a final
decision is made
and
shares with all Partners in a timely manner relevant information
about
their respective horse’s
livelihood. The responsibility of
the MP is to
try to help all Partners fulfill their Ownership expectations.
This is
primarily accomplished by being open, honest, and upfront about all of
the
risks and rewards of Thoroughbred racing. Information
is power, and it’s up to the MP to
make sure all Mojo Partners are the most informed patrons of the sport.
Personal
satisfaction comes from introducing new people to Ownership and helping
them
become life-long Thoroughbred racing ambassadors. Communication The MP’s
intentions have always been to provide each-and-every Partner with the
best
information, access, support, confidence, and opportunity to experience
the
joys of Ownership for a fraction of what they would pay as a sole owner
or with
a larger racing partnership. Providing
our Partners with constant information and access is what we're about,
and
there are no plans to change that. The Mojo
Site was
created to serve as a convenient community for our Partners, as well as
be a resource for the general public
wanting more information about our Partnership. Runner
Selection We want
untainted horses. Better yet, we want to spoil our own Runners! Thus, Yearlings and
Two-Year-Olds In Training offer the best opportunity to be successful
in our
process. As such, we reduce our
risk by avoiding someone else’s mismanagement. We prefer
to buy our Runners from Keeneland, and we do not hire a bloodstock
agent. The MP is the sole buyer. He studies every horse's pedigree that will
be shown on the dates that he attends the This has
proven to be a successful and cost-effective selection process for our
Partnership. To date, all of our Sale
purchases have turned out to be sound Runners that have gone on to be
“in the money”
on the racetrack. God willing, we will
continue to be blessed in this regard. Investment
and Monthly Costs
*The
costs fluctuate based upon the care needed; services provided; and
expenses
related to running the partnership. Thus,
the average monthly costs are not set, and
reasonable estimates are given as time goes by. |
