Hear what miRunners Head of Bloodstock Mick Malone thinks of this purchase

“By super sire Exceed and Excel this colts a first foal from the Sebring mare in, Heart of Oak, herself a full sister to Gr2 winner Believe Yourself, Heart Of Oak won 3 races in succession.

First laid eyes on this colt and his home at Coolmore Stud in preparation for the sale, has it all this fella, a presence that’s hard not to look at, walks like a panther, massive hip and Shoulder just oozes quality! To have an opportunity to be involved in a colt like this with a trainer like Mick Price via miRunners is a huge result.”

Ongoing Costs

The monthly management fee for your first “horse lot” in each horse is $11 (inc GST) per month. You only pay this management fee on your first “horse lot” purchased. The monthly training fees for the Exceed and Excel x Heart of the Oak colt is $3.29 per month. This means your ongoing monthly costs for one “horse lot” is $14.29. For any additional “horse lots” purchased, you will just pay the $3.29 per month on top of the $14.29 you pay for your first lot (i.e. for 2 “horse lots”, the ongoing costs will be $17.58 per month).

You can purchase up to 5 “horse lots” in one horse. At the end of the experience, any surplus training fees will be reimbursed to owners.

**Please note that the monthly subscription payments will start on July 15 2023, regardless of when you purchased your “horse lot/s” prior to this date. If you purchase after April 30 2023, the cost will increase.

miRunners shares the ins and outs of training and caring for each of the horses you own, and you get to share each animal’s journey as they change from being a young animal to a novice racer. All of the owners share that experience together, and we love the devoted care lavished on the animals.

BROOKE

I love the updates we get from miRunners, buying the unit was smooth and seamless and I knew I could enjoy the experience without worrying about the cost. The miRunners experience creates a great emotional connection with the horse. We get to choose his name, and his silk colours, and that’s obviously very special.

ALAN

It’s a great concept, you’re kept up-to-date, you know what’s going on week-to-week, you’re involved with a very special experience – all for the price of a weekly beer once you’ve purchased your unit!
