We have  been active in the public syndication since 1988 – in that time we have been involved with the selection, syndication and management of many successful horses. In recent years we have raced stakewinners such as SWORD (12 wins inc.Gr1 Goodwood and Gr2 Chirnside Stakes - dead heating with Sequalo and beating Gold Ace, Cut Up Rough and Spartacus), BUZZOFF (10 wins inc. 3 Listed race wins, 3rd in the Hotham Hcp and Caulfield Cup favourite when emergency)  MAKE A SCENE (8 wins inc. Ballarat Cup),  REGULATIONS (11 wins inc. STC Starlight Stakes) The numbers and durability of our horses is proven time and again; in recent seasons we have averaged over 40 individual winners per year.  We are a little unsure of exact figures as we do not study ALL the race results and many of our horses race on very successfully in other ownership long after we have deemed them uneconomic in our operation. However many have a useful racing life in states other than Victoria or New South Wales and it is always gratifying to know that purchases like GAMERA (9 wins) VIDEOGRAPHY (7 wins), KINSHASA (9 WINS), STRIKE TIME (7), LOOK OUT BELOW (7 wins), NEVER PERFECT (5 wins), Miami Zephyr (4 wins), Zoff's Delight (4 wins), bring pleasure to other people as well as to their original syndicates. City winners in 2004 inc.  Racer's Delight, Planet Crusader, Al Khafra and Pentirely.   IF YOU TRULY WANT VALUE FOR MONEY – then look at our list of stakes performers, their cost and return. (See table below) Our success has been achieved buying inexpensive, athletic horses, placing them with highly successful trainers and producing spectacular results. Just 2% of our horses fail to make it to the track, of course some are too slow to be competitive, too loopy or just plain non-cooperative but over 70% EARN prizemoney. Success - based on finding sound horses by good percentage sires – many from the secondary yearlings sales.  Apart from soundness, athleticism and balance we also look for VALUE FOR MONEY. Shelley attends most yearling sales and will do the spade work for you too, on a commission basis.  Horses purchased for outside clients include the promising 2Yo Routine Blue, handy sprinters Timed and Sectional Time, smart city winners like High Typhoon and Hold My Hand.   Many of these are covered in our list of STAKES PERFORMERS their cost and return and some rate a mention in the introductory letters for new syndications.
