Stonestreet Farms, Making a Business in the \"Sport of Kings\" Case Solution
By the early 21st century, the economics of pureblooded horse racing in the United States was in reverse-- owners invested about 4 times as much cash into the sport than the overall quantity of handbag loan readily available. Owners raced their horses as early as possible, and for as brief a time as possible to show that they were important for reproducing-- then offered them to reproducing operations. The market relied greatly on brand-new entrants who had cash from outdoors horse racing to purchase and race their foals.
Stonestreet Farms wased established by Jess Jackson, a billionaire wine business owner, who put in greater than $200 million in the sport. Unlike the majority of in the horse racing company, Stonestreet was associated with both training and racing horses and in breeding. 2 of its horses, Curlin and Rachael Alexandra, won the desirable North American Horse of the year for 3 successive years, from 2007-2009. Both later on entered into Stonestreet's reproducing operation.
This case talks about the difficulties dealing with owners and breeders in the North American pure-blooded racing market. It could be utilized as a buddy case to SPM49: Del Mar Racetrack: Transforming the Horse Racing Fan Experience, which concentrates on the market from the point of view of race course.
