Following on from the successful sale of all 1,000 units in Saganaki - the first thoroughbred in the miRunners stable - miRunners will now look to Melbourne after one of Australia’s best trainers confirmed his involvement as trainer of their second horse.

Caulfield-based Mick Price will come on board to train the second horse with miRunners planning to make the purchase at the upcoming Magic Millions sales on the Gold Coast.

This is exciting news. With Kris Lees training Saganaki, Price’s appointment continues miRunners’ commitment to provide all Australians with the opportunity to own a premium racehorse, trained by one of Australia’s leading trainers.

The key to this model is making it affordable, easy to buy online, and to have access to weekly communications between trainer and unit holders.

Price gained his licence in 1992 and has established himself as one of the best in the industry with consistently impressive results:

• Price has won over $85 million dollars in prize money since 2000
• In more than 11,000 starts, Price has a win rate of 17% and a place rate of 42%
• There are 33 Group 1 wins amongst Price’s win total of 1,989

The miRunners Model

A premium racehorse is purchased with the purchase price split into 1,000 units and made available for purchase to the public. For example, Saganaki was purchased for $165,000 with units available for $165 plus a monthly fee of $15 (to cover training, admin, vets, transport, insurance, communications costs etc). The public and owners were then heavily involved, invited to choose the horse’s name and design the racing silks.
