Ok I have put this on one of the forums, but thought I would start a topic to see if there is anyone interested
Looking to get a syndicate started 10 shares at $2000 per share and $20 per week there after. I will retain 1 share so 9 left. Plan to get a horse from NZ from one of a couple of conacts I have. The last one I got was Lorenzo Bromac which raced for me for 12 months collecting over $25,000 in prize money in that time. With all the transport costs and harness racing fees he ended up costing me $15,000 and we sold him after the 12 months for $16,000. Pretty handy investment and bloody good fun.
I then tried to get my brother and his mates to purchase Willoughby from NZ which they could not get themselves organised. He cost $20,000 landed in Australia. He has had 11 starts for 6 wins 2 seconds and 1 third for just over $17,000 in prize money, in just 3 months of racing here (best mile rate). He sat in the death and won in sub 2 mins at Globe Derby over 2230 Saturday Night, killed them. I would say he is probably valued around the $20,000 now.
It is a fun sport however I would be lying to you if I did not say that the next horse could break a leg a day before the races and you kiss goodbye to your horse, such is racing. Anyone interested conact me via email
