Was that with a "name" trainer?If your dog is quick you can't hide that.
My mate had shares in a horse, trainer told them it's never going to be much good and encouraged them to sell their shares and he had "someone" who'd be interested as they just wanted a plodder to watch.
They took the trainers advice and sold the shares, next thing the ****** came out and won 3-4 in a row including in town.
They even went to the ombudsman to complain about dodgy practices but there was little they said they could do.

Owners Gold Card isn't as good as it used to be. Not as many privileges.We have put together a very small syndicate (5%) at work just before Christmas in one with Hayes.
The total outlay for each person in the syndicate was less than $1k
We qualify for the owners gold card which is also appealing.
My expectations are low. Id be happy with a couple of days out at the races with colleagues, having a few jars, and hope the thing runs a drum.
Im seriously keen on going in and having a share on a greyhound. As someone else noted, you just feel a bit closer and apart of the action.
Tip: Try not to syndicate, did the maths and nearly got one with Spolly, and it absolutely farcical.
How farcical are we talking here? I've always been interested in how the big man operates.
you know what amazes me, is that none of these people who buy into a syndicate can do maths. I understand if you want to go in for the fun of it. but my god so many people get ripped off and don't even realise itSo $1000 gets you 1% of prizemoney of 3 dogs, because half goes to Spolly.
They'd need to win collectively $200,000 before you get ya grand back.
Or 242 x $825 races at Warragul.
Anyone have any recent horse share/owner stories?
Im keen to do it. For 5% share the web says allow approx $50-$100/week to cover everything (plus initial share)
Id like to do it not to make money (that would be a huge bonus) but more for the social part... even heading out to country tracks now n then

just a tip, google the syndicators if you go with them to see if they have any strikes against them. Its not the most honest industry aroundOh geez. I dont know any trainers and Id be going in by myself.
Looks like its a dart session when I eventually give it a crack
Id go for a bush trainer mate if you just want something fun obviously wont be as expensive.Oh geez. I dont know any trainers and Id be going in by myself.

I have shares in a couple with Grand Syndicates - they aim to buy cheap horses and syndicate 5% shares for $1000 or $2000
ongoing costs are a set fee at $7 per day, so $50 per week - the only extra costs are for interstate transport or Group race entry fees.
I have had one horse that needed a throat op and all those costs were included in the set fee.
from what I have seen around the fees are a bit less than the big city trainers; going directly with provincial and country trainers would be cheaper.
They have a pretty good record with finding cheap winners and use trainers in QLD, NSW, VIC and SA. Their communication is pretty good with regular updates on your horses.
from my point of view - their job is to find value horses at the sales - my job is to pick the eyes out of what they find.

If you’re based in WA, Impressive Racing and Darren McAuliffe are definitely worth considering. I’ve had shares in horses with them and while the horses haven’t been successful I’ve been very impressed with professionalism of the operation. I’ve just picked the wrong horses from the many on offer by them.Oh geez. I dont know any trainers and Id be going in by myself.
