The Racehorse Ownership Institute (ROI) at Hofstra University is the only program offered by a major American University dedicated solely to the education, advancement and assistance of thoroughbred and standardbred racehorse owners.
The Institute is an educational experience dedicated to the serious informational needs of both prospective and seasoned racehorse owners of both breeds. No particular partnership, syndicate or product is sold at any seminar, and none of the presenters have any financial interest in participants entry into racehorse ownership. While information regarding initial ownership is provided upon request, the materials represent a broad array of investment possibilities that are neither discussed nor rated in class.
Racehorses are a highly speculative investment ... and not for everyone. You are highly encouraged to discuss ownership with your attorney, accountant, certified financial planner, and/or other investment advisor.
Location
Located at the historic and modern centers of the thoroughbred and standardbred racing industries, Hofstra is less than one mile from the former site of Roosevelt Raceway (the "world capitol of harness racing" from 1940 through the 1980s) ... and just down the street from "Newmarket," the former site of America's first (1665) racetrack. The university is also located five miles east of the prestigious Belmont Park Racetrack, as well as a short drive from "America's Leading Harness Track," The Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, New Jersey. This geographic advantage enables us to provide you with special opportunities to interact with professionals at some of the world's top racing venues.
And speaking of geography ... the ROI program has attracted enrollment from as far away as Arizona and Nevada; as close as New York City.
About the Coordinator
Chris E. Wittstruck - not only a successful attorney, a licensed thoroughbred and standardbred owner, an award-winning racing writer and a much-in-demand media commentator, but also a seasoned, continuing-education instructor - coordinates the Institute. He draws upon his vast study, research and experience to provide presentations that are intensive, intellectual, current and practical.
Program Format
Classes present "the good, the bad and the muddy" in a balanced format. Please be assured: the Institute is an educational experience dedicated to the serious informational needs of both prospective and seasoned racehorse owners of both breeds. It's not an infomercial. No particular partnership, syndicate or product is sold at any seminar, and neither the coordinator nor the guest speakers have any financial interest in your entry into racehorse ownership. While information regarding initial ownership is provided upon request, the materials represent a broad array of investment possibilities that are neither discussed nor rated in class.
Along those lines, keep in mind that racehorses are a highly speculative investment ... and not for everyone. You are highly encouraged to discuss ownership with your attorney, accountant, certified financial planner, and/or other investment advisor.
