Circa 1997-1999...around when I really got into the betting side of racing Karakorum had a basic web site that that presented 4 different partnership levels....different grades of horses...in training...on the farm still. Focus was
tax write-off and depreciation. Bottom line was 10% ownership of 50% of one "mid -level" horse in training came to 35k a year; 3yr deal. (excluding travel expenses,extra vet fees ).

Thing was the horses were really cheap... exposed when I began looking up pedigrees in the very early days of pedigreequery and the pedigree post which was attached to pedigreequery in the "old days" and sales/auction info.


I have NEVER bet on a Karahorum horse but have followed that syndicate since the late 90's. Strike the Brass was one of their best. Karakorum Patriot was a decent horse too. I would always joke with my pals that the "karakorum horses never won until they had at least 20 races..and alot of 3/4's and earnings of "109k"

Karakorum racers raced alot though, in nybred races...40 races not uncommon for a Karakorum horse. Too bad Karakorum couldn't continue their "business" when the NYBred purses skyrocketed. Karakorum raced alot at AQU especially in the days of cheap purses. I think I recently saw Odintz listed as trainer for a non-Karakorum horses but didn't think about where was Karakorum...gone, probably.
