The syndicate gathered 25 to 30 investors who each committed $100,000 to acquire young Thoroughbreds with Triple Crown aspirations.

Other founding members include Ian Ritchie, Jeff Berry, and Shawn Kelley. Werth values the ownership experience for its ability to share wins and losses with family and friends.
