In the 4 months or so that I have been a partner with
renpher stable I could not have chosen a better stable. Bob will answer all of your questions, keep you updated with daily emails and he and wife Val are the nicest people. I love dropping by the stable to see the training/workouts at the track and visiting with the horses. A small amount of money gets you involved so you can 'root' for your horse on race day! One of the best things is that Bob makes sure
horses are given good homes when done racing. I know Heather,Kim and Ryan, the trainers, love their work by the care they give to the stable's horses. You can not go wrong with joining us, the 'family' at Renpher stable, I look forward to seeing you at the next race!

Been involved with Renpher for about 2 years. Unlike another partnership I was in, communication & information from Bob at Renpher is paramount. Bob is a "hands on" managing partner like few others. Bob is also a pretty astute judge of horseflesh & does not claim for claiming's sake. Acqusitions are very affordable & you can be sure your horse(s) will get the best of care. Bob is always there to provide partners with a good box seat if you want to attend the races & provides partners with input & real "partnership" when attending the various sales.

Have been in a Renpher Stable partnership for about 6 weeks and so far my horse as been in the money 3 out of 3 times. Bob O. is a top notch managing partner. Being new to horse ownership, I am quickly learning through Bob's frequent emails. You will never need to ask what is going on with your horse because Bob keeps you well informed. I would not hesitate to recommend Renpher Stables to anyone interested in racing horse partnerships.

I joined recently due to the inclusivness and generosity of the managing partner and other partners. This is not a clique....this is a group of horse/race lovers who share with each other in the ups and downs of the sport.

I've only been involved in horse racing and Renpher Stable for 6 months, but have enjoyed working with everyone involved. We have 4 horses now with Renpher and plan on getting another one soon. Communications are the best, receiving one e-mail or more per day keeps everyone well informed. Bob is honest and straight talking. You couldn't ask for a better managing partner. The partnership not only has horses running in the PA, DE, NJ, NY, WV, but also horse in TX. We attended the Fasig-Tipton auction in Timonium recently and learned a lot from the partnership members. All the partners that we met are group. We recommend Renpher very highly.

Been involved for about 2 yrs now with 7 or 8 horses...Communication is excellent...daily e-mails keep you informed of all stable activity...horse price to purse ratio is as good as your going to fine... Bob Oliva is more than fair with partners...horses based at Penn National but will travel as needed...Horse wellfare comes first...Motto is "It's ok not to know where a horse will finish but it's not ok to not know "IF" the horse will finish...Detailed statments every month,down to the $1.30 for your share of the horses corta-flex...Hard working and you get to feel like a big-shot in the Renpher's Owners Box on the finish line at Penn National...If your looking to get into Thoroughbred Ownership would not hesitate to recommend Renpher Stable.

My wife and I have always enjoyed the races, but never really thought we could afford to own a race horse. We have been involved for over a year and are having a wonderful experience with the partnership. We are kept informed of upcoming races,entries and all happenings around the barn. And we are a very small part of the puzzle. Being a part of this is our FUN MONEY.

I have been with them for one year. When I decided to consider partnerships I emailed several. I am still waiting for a few of them to reply. That puts them about 500 emails behind Renpher. Bob Oliva, the managing partner sends email updates daily and many days multiple emails are received. All partners are treated fairly and honestly whether they have a minimum % of one horse or large percentages of several. David Lupo, the trainer brings sound knowledge and passion to the operation. Partners from many different walks of life show up at the track on race day. I haven't found a one that I don't enjoy spending an evening of racing with. When the time comes for a horse's racing career to end, good homes are found. I'm really not sure what these guys could do better.

Been involved for well over a year as a partner. Aside form the "kick" we get by having our horse win, the experience has been well worth it.
The communication with the partners is almost daily if not more sometimes with many instructional and educational tips about the thoroughbred racing world.
Renpher is very well managed with a dedicated principle owner, Bob Oliva, who goes out of his way to make you feel like the real deal even though we are only "small potatoes" in the big scheme of things. No attitudes or shenanigans either - honest and credible.
For the price of a day at Yankee Stadium we have enjoyed over a year of thrills, Winners Circle photos, and the percs of being a thoroughbred horse owner.
If you love horses and are a fan of horse racing, this is worth every penny.
Scott Butler, 5/6/09
Outstanding communication, passion and doing what ever it takes to be a winner. Bob truly cares about his horses AND his partners. Highly recommend. Go Baby Go!!!
Tom Bowman, 5/6/09
Nothing but good things to say about this professional outfit ... Bob, our managing partner's knowledge of the sport and research ability and lines of communication are fantastic .. He keeps you "in the loop" regarding your horses status, workouts, potential races and date ... An added plus is the great group of people involved in the partnership ... A night at the races with this group if a night that you will never forget ... Management made me realize I would rather have a small piece of a bunch of runners rather than a big share of one horse ... When they lose, you can look to the future without too much pain and when they succeed, your a wimmer and couldn't care less of what the ownership percentage is ... Come join us ... YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE !!!!!!!

This is a very well run partnership. There are daily emails and statements on a monthly basis that allow you to always have up to date information on your horses and finances. The partnership manager is very accomodating and always willing to answer your questions and help the partners understand the horseracing industry.
Steven Lazzara, 5/4/09
Renpher Stable is great because:
Bob sends out daily e-mails, you are kept well advised about every horse in the barn
He is accessible, by phone, e-mail and at every race
He has acquired extremely profitable horses at low cost
His statements show expenses and earnings in great detail
Year end K-1's are provided.
LWB, 5/4/09
This is a professionally ran outfit. Lupo is an excellent trainer. Bob Oliva works long and hard hours finding good horses for the partners. Plus he provides the partners with PP's for all Renpher entries. And, most of all they care about the welfare of the horses.
MGA, 5/4/09
I've been a partner with Renpher Stable since 2005. If you're looking for excitement at affordable prices, this is the place to be. Emails are received daily by the General Partner, thus you are always in the loop as to where your horses are and how they are doing. You recieve monthly statements, however, I haven't had to send a check in months. I've been apart of other partnerships, but none compare to this one.
MJS, 5/4/09
Renpher is afordable to anyone.
Bob is there to help and teaches beginners the right way to enter the wonderful world of racing.
All partners are kept up to date with the day to day activities every day.
Anyone ever wanting to feel the excitement of racing should contact Renpher Stables.
KLB, 5/4/09
Thrilling experience for both new people to horse racing and long horse racing fans. Daily updates on what is going on at the stables. ALways accesible for questions and to hear both your rants and raves. Wonderful way to get involved. Recommend this to anyone interested in getting involved in a horse racing partnerships.
DJB, 5/4/09
Been with this partnership for 3+ years now, daily emails (at least, sometimes several a day) keeps all partners well informed of their horses. Very affordable too. They treat all partners the same, regardless of how much or how little they are invested. Partners are always welcome to see the races in person or visit their horses with enough forewarning. The best part, they do right by their horses if something happens and they can no longer race. You will not find more bang (or more fun) for the buck than with Renpher Stable.
Peter Hall, 5/4/09

RWR, 5/4/09
Excellent Partnership. Very affordable, constant updates via daily emails, friendly and informative. Perhaps the best thing about Renpher Stable is the care and concern for the horses. Unlike some in this industry, Renpher Stable truly cares about the welfare and wellbeing of the horses, and ensures that they are taken care of both during and after their racing career. I would highly recommend Renpher Stable to anyone interested in thoroughbred racing.
SEW, 5/4/09
I've been a partner on three separate horses over the past 2 years with Renpher Stable. The communication is excellent from the managing partner, with emails from him several times a week. He evaluates the progress and prospects for each horse in a frank and honest manner. And when they are finished running, each horse is found a new home.
The absolute best partnership that I've been associated with.
NS, 5/3/09
I have been involved in racing partnerships for one year and currently have four horses with Renpher Stable. I started with a few different partnerships and have found Renpher Stable to far exceed others. The top distinguishing factors are: (1) Daily Communication that is thorough and educational--Managing Partner always returns e-mails promptly; (2) Low Cost/High Purse ratio at Penn National makes for the best chances to earn money and not have to write checks; (3) Renpher highly encourages partner involvement at the barn, auction, and at the races; (4) Ethical organization that treats the horses very well and does not have any questionable items on the bills. Renpher Stable is a partnership to consider if you want to learn a lot about racing, be fully informed of decisions and activities at the barn, and not have to spend a lot of money. Not every horse they purchase is a rockstar but I have been very fortunate to select a 2 Year Old Stakes winning filly, $6,000 puchase that wins Allowance races and a $6,000 claimer that set the track record at Penn National for a mile that was claimed that night for a nice short-term profit. The experience has been a lot of fun over the last year. I have stopped my involvement in other partnerships and will be purchasing another two horses at the mid-atlantic auction with Renpher this month.
BO, 5/3/09
The managing partner is honest and always keeps all the rest of the partners well informed on all aspects of the partnership. Great experience all around!
MEK, 5/3/09
I've been a partner for 2 years. I've enjoyed the learning process and my expenses have gradually come down with time. I've had three horses in the Winners Circle. I enjoy the Renpher pesonality.
JMO, 5/3/09
A true learning experience as much as it is fun. More communication than I believe that you would get from any other partnership. You really are part of the process!!!
Carolyn Eaton, 5/3/09
Very responsive to emails, daily (often more than daily) email updates on stable happenings.
TGS, 5/3/09
1 year.........excellent communication........fairness in expensing
very good 2 year olds and purchases.......has many sources for horses of racing age and great buys on runners overall they are very solid.
Jerry Maf, 5/3/09
Great partnership run by an upfront hard working honest guy. You never have to worry about somebody's hand in your pocket. First class all the way. If you're looking for a partnership with no heart that only cares about enriching the insiders at the expense of the others and the horses - look elsewhere.
Art D, 5/3/09
Been involved with Renpher over a year and have nothing but praise for Bob Oliva and the rest of the Renpher staff. Bob answers any questions in a timely manner & all members are brought up to date almost daily on every horse & any possible acqusitions. Statements detailing each members costs and winnings are mailed monthly so there is no guesswork on the part of the partner as to how he is doing.
Partners are free to visit the barns with a call to Bob and encouraged to come out to the track when one of their horses are running. Costs are reasonable and fair and Bob is always looking to upgrade the stable.
There is something for every budget; communication is outstanding and I would highly recommend Renpher Stable for anyone looking to get involved in race Horse ownership.
Larry A, 5/3/09
BEEN WITH THEM FOR THREE YEARS AND AM PROUD OF IT. OWNER KEEPS YOU INFORMED OF EVERYTHING AND TELLS IT LIKE IT IS,NO BS. FUN TO BE WITH THEM AND LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING,THEY CARE ABOUT EACH AND EVERY HORSE THEY OWN.
Bob A, 5/3/09
Affordable but horses worth owning. General manager keeps partnership fully informed, many times on a daily basis. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.
GMB, 5/3/09
Renpher has many positives including great daily communication; accurate and understandable billing; timely K-1s for the tax man; home track is Penn National where purses are great and expenses reasonable; a tried and true cost effective 2 yo program; and instant action claimers if that is your bent.
JM Condino, 5/3/09
I have been involved with Bob and the Renpher team for over 2 years. Great communication from the Renpher team. I have been involved with 4 different horses. Outstanding communication, great business model, and extremely honest. You can't go wrong.
EA, 5/3/09
Bob and the staff at Renpher Stable do an outstanding job with their horses and keep everyone up to date with daily emails. Healthy amount of winners too!
