OVERVIEW
Such is Snitzel’s spectacular impact on Australian racing & breeding that only one active Australian stallion looks likely to exceed his benchmarks and ….. that’s Snitzel himself !
He won his first General Sires’ Premiership in 2017 with all-time record Australian earnings of $16.2 million, joining Danehill & Redoute’s Choice to complete Australia’s only three-generation sequence of Champion Sires.
The 2YO & 3YO Sires’ categories belonged to him too, and he headed all three lists by Winners, Stakes-Winners & Stakes Wins.
Snitzel’s 2016/17 tally of 26 Australian Stakes-Winners equalled Danehill’s record and his tally of 35 2YO Winners is a new mark.
Key aspects of Snitzel's performance are his world-class 9.8% Stakes-Winners : Runners, high proportion of Group Winners and his exceptional success as a sire of juveniles.
Snitzel’s progeny record which is headed by triple Group 1 winner Trapeze Artist also he has sired winners of prestige races such as the Golden Slipper, Cox Plate, All Aged, Guineas (twice), Everest (twice), Golden Rose, Sires’ Produce and most of Australia’s big sprints all feature on his resume.
SNITZEL’s Progeny -
Q) They Can Sprint but Can They Stay ?
A) You Bet They Can !
Snitzel’s progeny are also effective over ground as they are over short course trips. However they don’t get the same opportunities due to smaller number of races as distances increase which equates to fewer opportunities. Further many mares mated to Snitzel are speed mares so genetically they are disadvantaged beyond a mile. However those that are specifically bred to run beyond a mile have an excellent strike rate.
SNITZEL his progeny are so versatile;
Winners:Runners Strike Rate over Race Distances:
37% between 0 to 1000m
52% between 1001m to 1200m
45% between 1201m to 1400m
37% between 1401m to 1600m
29% between 1601 to 1800m
26% between 1801m to 2000m
16% between 2001 to 2200m
12% between 2201m to 2400m
15% between 2401m >
SALE RESULTS
Seventy-Seven (77) $1 million+ Yearlings confirms Snitzel’s status as a premier stallion and demand for his progeny is intense. Over the past years, Snitzel has been a lynchpin of the Australian bloodstock economy.
From 2015 to 2026 breeders, vendors and sale companies have banked more than $154 million for Snitzel yearlings.
PEDIGREE
Snitzel is the best sire son of three-time Champion Sire Redoute’s Choice, who in turn was the best sire son of breed-shaper Danehill, from the Danzig branch of the Northern Dancer sire-line.
Snitzel was bred by Francois Naude from the dual Listed winner Snippets’ Lass, a daughter of Champion Sprinter and leading sire Snippets.
Snippets’ Lass also left Group 3 winners Viennese (by Redoute’s Choice) and Hinchinbrook (by Fastnet Rock).
Offered by Yarraman Park Stud at the 2004 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale, Snitzel was purchased for $260,000 by Sydney trainer Gerald Ryan for owner Damion Flower.
RACE PERFORMANCE
Snitzel won four of his 6 starts at two, including the AJC Breeders’ Plate LR and a defeat of subsequent Golden Slipper winner Stratum in the STC Skyline S. G3.
Snitzel ended the 2004/05 season with a Timeform figure of 121.
He progressed at three to add a trio of sprint victories at Group level, most notably beating Virage de Fortune and Takeover Target in the VRC Oakleigh Plate G1.
Snitzel also placed in the VRC Newmarket H. G1 and AJC T.J. Smith S. G1 before retiring to stud at Arrowfield in 2006 with a record of 15 starts, 7 wins, 4 placings and just over $1 million prizemoney.
Trainer Gerald Ryan nominates toughness, durability and speed as Snitzel's best racing qualities.
In fact, he was so sound and healthy when he retired that his vet record was almost blank.
"He doesn't stamp his progeny as types, but most of them are really athletic and, like him, they don't go shinsore.
They have pretty good temperaments too, and if they're feisty, they improve with each prep.”

Bred on a Brilliant Pedigree Nick:
STRIKING GOLD !
MIDDLE DISTANCE Genetics:
Optimum Distance: 1600m - 2000m
The Profile above shows the Age and Distance range of Stakes Winners bred with this same or closely designed breeding pattern. The larger the Blue Circle, the more winners in that category.
Professional Bloodstock Consultants such as Dean Watt of Dynamic Syndications spend countless hours researching pedigrees and their genetic patterns and are aware when these same pedigree patterns have been replicated deliberately by the breeder in the hope that they may have bred a champion racehorse.
Often however the breeder has accidentally or by pure chance produced a yearling to these patterns.

The following information was recorded about this
yearling after several physical inspections at the Sales Complex.

A FOAL SHARE
At the saleyard under Full Disclosure from the Vendor, we discovered that Lot618 SNITZEL x NORDIQUE (GB) Filly was one of a handful of catalogued FOAL SHARES being offered FOR SALE by an ARROWFIELD STUD Sire.
Dynamic Syndications like to identify FOAL SHARE offerings at every sale because they MUST be offered to the market UNRESERVED and under a contract arrangement between the Broodmare Owners (Breeder) and the stud farm, they must be sold through the salering.
If a reserve is placed on any FOAL SHARE then the broodmare owner must guarantee to buy out the Stud Farm at that reserve price if it fails to meet reserve in the ring.
WHAT IS A FOAL SHARE?
A FOAL SHARE is where the breeder owns the Broodmare and the Stallion is controlled by the Stud Farm.
The Breeder may wish to send their broodmare to a certain high end stallion, but may not be in a financial position to pay for the service fee to that stallion or may consider that depth of investment too high a risk.
Dependent upon the commercial appeal and quality of the broodmare, Stud Farms may enter into a FOAL SHARE AGREEMENT with the Broodmare Owner if they can foresee a WIN / WIN position.
* That being the Breeder can foresee that their mare may be uplifted as a producer, by the Sire, and could potentially produce a Stakes Winner enhancing the value of all future progeny from the mare.
* The Stud Farm considers that the Sire may get to produce stakes class progeny from the mating.
Whilst FOAL SHARE AGREEMENTS can vary on a case by case basis, the standard FOAL SHARE AGREEMENT is where the service fee is supplied to the Breeder without payment, however the Stud Farm becomes the owner of 50% of the resultant foal.
The breeder pays 100% of the holding costs from date of covering the mare by the sire, until the moment the resultant horse enters into the salering and whatever the horse brings at the fall of hammer is split on a 50/50 basis between the Breeder and the Stud Farm.
Therefore the horse must be sold under the agreement to the highest bidder whatever that bid may be.
This often allows for an opportunity to purchase top quality yearlings without an inflationary reserve price being applied and market forces allow for the occasional "saleyard steal."
On rare occasions, the breeder and stud may agree to place a reserve price on their yearling.
Under those terms, the Breeder must Buy Out the Stud Farm at the Reserve Price.
We were advised that this FILLY was a FOAL SHARE AGREEMENT between Arrowfield Stud Group P/L and Dillon Group LLC.
Dillon Group LLC wanted to place a $300,000 reserve on the filly and she was Passed-In at $280,000 / Reserve $300,000.
When the filly was still available the following day, the breeder became concerned that they were obligated to buy out Arrowfield.
Team Dynamic offered $250,000, the amount we had bid up to for her in the salering. Our offer was accepted.
Arrowfield and Dillon Group LLC shared $125,000 each before sale company deductions.
This yearling fully passed inspection by our Veterinarian
Dr. TIM ROBERTS in all categories:
* Physical Inspection (Conformation, Size, Strength, Scope & Health)
* Stethoscope evaluation
* X-Ray inspection
* Endoscopic inspection
The Yearling was considered "ATHLETIC & CORRECT" and passed as a suitable candidate.
OUR SALE NOTES:
Below was the commentary report Dean Watt wrote about the yearling during three (3) pre-sale selection criteria inspections prior to the lot being offered for sale.
Commentary in brackets has been added in for description purpose so non-horse industry participants may have a better understanding of Dean’s sales notes.
The notes are:
A high quality example of the type of yearlings the sire SNITZEL produces
~ we wanted to buy the yearling and to give it to CIARON MAHER
* A top walker – purposeful, balanced, with fluid motion.
* Importantly this yearling Tracks Truly and has a Very Good Overstep (Propulsion)
* Strong well defined top line (back) with the withers set well back
* Excellent - Deep girth (Lung capacity)
* Intelligent Head - Wide Forehead - Soft Kind Eye
* Has a strong reign (neck & distance from Poll to Withers)
* Good width of jaw and corresponds with big Nostrils (for windflow capacity access)
* Conformationally front legs are excellent with nice short cannon (which is technically very good – means longer forearm covers more ground per stride)
* Powerful hindquarter with excellent length of to its croup and excellent hip:hock ratio (propulsion levers for driving forward)
* Well developed Gaskins (like Human biceps = strength) which are strong and deep into hocks
* Correct angulation to pasterns and shoulders (correct 60 degree angles)
* Hoofs are well structured and all 4 are symmetrical with good heels.
* Stands over good ground (length to back in correct proportion to balance of individual)
* Nice style of individual by the sire with classic middle-distance shape and style
Dr TIM ROBERTS (Veterinarian)
"This is a quality individual by champion sire Snitzel. She has everything you could wish for in a yearling. She is immature at the moment but is going to develop into a magnificent 3yo and gives the impression she will be at her best at 1600m to 2000m in the 3yo Spring. She is a well conformed, athletic individual with an excellent walk. She has scope to get out over ground and has the pedigree to match her pedigree.”
“X-rays were clear, her endoscope was good and her blood test result was clean.”
"With the filly being a Foal Share and ARROWFIELD STUD buying back into her to race with Dynamic, you know you have a quality filly on your hands."
“I told the boys at Dynamic that they had found a beauty and if they could afford her – buy her and they did.”
DEAN WATT (Dynamic Syndications)
“Race The Best – With The Best” is our business philosophy and that’s exactly what we have the opportunity to do here with this fabulous filly “By a Champion from a daughter of a Champion” and she will always keep her sensational pedigree ensuring huge residual value upon retirement.”
“If she wasn’t a Foal Share we wouldn’t have been able to afford her. This fantastic filly is class personified. If you want to target a horse at a big race, then look no further than having a SNITZEL from a Champion broodmare sire to deliver the goods."
"I was thrilled we were able to buy this FILLY. She’s such a beautiful walking individual and to my eye she is all class.”
"Mum was by Galileo a middle distance / staying type and that has meant this filly has picked up Snitzel’s bone and muscle whilst athletic refinement has been passed on from mum."
"We’ve had luck buying progeny by SNITZEL with ARBEITSAM and DANCES ON STARS both multiple stakes winners and another three stakes placed horses from our 6 progeny of the great sire. This filly is such a sensational sort she could add to Dynamic’s success with the breed.”
CIARON MAHER (Trainer):
"The Stallion is a champion! He has produced 166 Stakes Winners and he gets the true top class runner and has done so year after year after year. This Filly represents the reasons why you buy yearlings by Snitzel."
"She has length, excellent bone and she is so athletic and balanced and she’s light on her feet with a wonderful easy flowing action. This filly looks like she should when matched to her pedigree. She looks classical and I can’t wait to see her out over 1600m or further in the Spring as a 3yo.”
“The sire gets fantastic miler plus horses – this filly is really exciting. I can’t wait to have her in our system."

OUTSTANDING chance of racetrack success !!!
SELECTION PROCESS
Q) So - Why did we buy Her?
A) That's easy to answer !
Pedigree:
Commencing weeks prior to attending the sale complex:
When researching which lots to inspect in the weeks prior to the sale, we look for certain genetic factors that increase the chance of the yearling being a superior athlete.
This pedigree had certain ancestor duplications which we are seeking, to give what we consider, a balanced blend of speed and endurance. Full details of the Pedigree Evaluation is located in our Pedigree Notes Section of this website.
Conformation:
Saleyard notes on this horse were:
3YO MILER + TYPE - ATHLETIC - EXCELLENT JAW / NOSTRILS -
GOOD BONE - GOOD ANGLES - GOOD REIN - TOP WALK / ACTION -
STRONG HINDQUARTER - IMMATURE / NEEDS TIME -
CLEAN X-RAYS - G1 ENDOSCOPE
Veterinarian:
Dr Tim Roberts - Contracted Veterinarian to Dynamic Syndications
Our veterinarian Dr Tim Roberts inspected the yearling prior to purchase and believed this youngster to be a quality individual and a chance of being a successful equine athlete with no visual clinical issues likely to prevent it from reaching its racing potential.
Before purchase, the 42 X-Rays deposited in the sale ground X-Ray Repository facility were examined. There were no abnormal findings noted.
The horse was approved by Dr. Roberts for Dynamic Syndications to purchase in the salering.
After purchase, an endoscopic test on the horse's airway was performed and the result was the horse had normal function.
Also a blood test was performed and revealed no abnormal findings.
Fair Market Value:
Considering this superb genetic pedigree, the commercial value of the sire, excellent athletic conformation and overall size, strength and scope, we rated this yearling as an "MUST HAVE" purchase.
Dean Watt as a licensed Commercial Agent and a longstanding Member of the Bloodstock Agents Federation of Australia, is approved to offer Market Appraisals as to the Commercial Valuation of thoroughbreds.
Dean Watt evaluates each yearling that passes its Veterinary Inspection as to the maximum Commercial Value after taking in such factors as:
* The Individual's Conformation
* Sales of Progeny with Similar Commercial Pedigrees by the Sire
* The Sire’s Service Fee both current and at date of Conception
* Sales of other progeny from the 1st & 2nd Dams in pedigree
based upon the Service Fee value of the sire of that mating.
* Any Sale recorded of the Dam herself.
* Racetrack Appraisal of the immediate family (Siblings / Dam).
* Working horses in the immediate family (Likelihood of the family
improving commercially by producing a Stakes Winner
in the near future)
* Historical Sale Average of the Actual Sale being Conducted.
* Current Economic & Political environment.
A specific formula is applied to each of these variables and a figure is determined.
This is our Ceiling Price. The price we are prepared to bid up to in a bidding war in the Salering. The maximum price we set at which we will withdraw from the heat of battle.
We set a strict ceiling price on all the horses that pass Veterinarian Inspection and write that figure on the Catalogue Page of each lot that passes to ensure that we do not make bidding errors during the auction.
Having completed all our Due Diligence reviews based upon Pedigree, Conformation, Veterinary Acceptance and Market Appraisal, we are always prepared to bid up to our limit to secure what we considered is an outstanding individual.
Valuation Price:
Considering HER outstanding conformation and the strength and depth of the female family and the pedigree genetics this individual was secured at a price representing terrific value to the team at Dynamic.
We had valued the yearling at $250,000 (+ one bid $260,000).
The secure the filly at $250,000 was in line with our market appraisal of the true commercial value and this represented exceptional value that we now pass onto our owners.

What is the Share Price & ..... What will be the Ongoing Holding Costs?
The SHARE PRICE is the advertised upfront cost to purchase your ownership share (inclusive of GST) and includes the Fall Of Hammer Price and ALL COSTS specified as declared in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to the pre-determined maturity date (normally 6 months from date of purchase).
After the maturity date, then the ongoing Training and Holding Costs will begin.
ONGOING COSTS: Every trainer is different i.e. Metropolitan / Provincial / Country and in the way they account to owners.
Below we have taken many of these variables into consideration to give an up to date assessment as what owners should budget:
For any 5% Share over a 12 month period, on a Worse Case basis
(All Costs & Fees included but with no prizemoney earned) -
Estimate only of total fees and expenses of maintaining, spelling, training and racing the Horse, excluding: race entry fees for group races, and the cost of any extraordinary (non-routine) veterinary and other treatments, including surgery
Owners should budget for any horse trained by a Premiership Leading Trainer at a
Sydney or Melbourne Metropolitan Racetrack an average of:
$10.00 + GST = $11.00 per day > ($70.00 + GST = $77.00 per week) >
($305 + GST = $335 per month) > ($3,653 + GST = $4,018 per annum)
to have a horse trained by a Non-Premiership Leading but Top 20 Trainer at a Sydney or Melbourne Metropolitan Racetrack an average of:
$8.20 + GST = $9.02 per day > ($58.00 + GST = $63.80 per week) >
($250 + GST = $275 per month) > ($3,000 + GST = $3,300 per annum)
to have a horse trained by a Provincial Trainer at a NSW or Victorian Racetrack an average of:
$7.53 + GST = $8.28 per day > ($52.80 + GST = $58.08 per week) >
($230 + GST = $253 per month) > ($2,750 + GST = $3,025 per annum)
Should a client purchase a larger equity percentage then the costs are simply multiplied pro-rata.
These budgeted costs make no allowance for any prizemoney to be won and with prizemoney at record levels, racing has never been more affordable and profitable.
How was the share price calculated ?
MYTH BUSTER: The Syndication Industry is regularly accused by those uneducated to the processes of the racing industry, of making a significant “MARK UP” from the raw Fall Of Hammer Price (which does not include GST) at the sales, to the final Syndication Sale price.
From Dynamic Syndications position, we totally reject any such: false - dishonest - inaccurate - ill informed commentaries.
FACT: Dynamic Syndications are committed to FULL DISCLOSURE - TRANSPARENCY & INTEGRITY
All shares Dynamic Syndications offer for sale to the public reflect the Purchase Price + ALL COSTS + GST out to a Forward Date of approximately 6 months.
The syndication sector of the racing industry, as required under the Corporations Act and Australian Financial Services License compliance, is the most "transparent of any industry in the Southern Hemisphere."
For each individual promotion, all costs are FULLY DISCLOSED (including our profit margin) and are attached as an annexure to the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).
AUCTION PRICE: Fall of Hammer Price paid in the Auction Ring - Then GST must be added
DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS PROFIT MARGIN
Our Profit Margin is determined by a Set Calculation Template.
On Average it is 7.73% of the Final Share Price
Our Gross Profit upon EVERY Promotion we offer is calculated at a SET FEE of 12.5% of the Fall of Hammer Price e.g. If a horse is sold for $100,000 we charge $12,500 + GST for the promotion; e.g. $60,000 = $7,500 + GST; or $120,000 = $15,000 + GST; etc., etc., etc.
Therefore on the financial model above, should Dynamic Syndications purchase a horse for $100,000 in the salering, we add our set Profit Margin fee of $12,500 = $112,500 + $11,250 GST = $123,750 divided by 20 shares = $6,187.50 (inclusive of GST) per 5% Share.
Breakdown: Cost of Share $5,000 + Dynamic Syndications Profit $625 + GST $562.50 = $6,187.50
From this position, simply ALL COSTS incurred in the process from the selection of the horse out to the set forward date are added together and divided by 20 shares and a fixed price is determined which becomes the SYNDICATION PRICE.
These costs incurred are ALWAYS FULLY DISCLOSED in the Cost Annexure attached to the PDS. Costs incurred are per the schedule below:
NOTE: Under an Australian Financial Services License, the maximum promotion allowed to be offered to the public from any Syndication Company is $500,000 including GST.
However under our own internal structure, the maximum price we pay for any horse in any sale ring is capped at $190,000.
Therefore $190,000 x 12.5% = $23,750 divided by 20 shares = $1,187.50 + GST
Therefore the MAXIMUM GROSS PROFIT potentially available to Dynamic Syndications upon any 5% Share is $1,187.50
Therefore to determine the net percentage profit on a sale of a 5% share is:
Set 12.5% Profit Margin Fee divided by Share Price, multiplied by 100
This equals just 7.73% of the Promotion Price.
SALE ~ VETERINARY COSTS: Veterinary work at sale complex by our contracted veterinarians, includes: Physical inspections on all potential lots and X-rays, apportioned across the number of yearlings purchased at the sale for syndication + Endoscopic evaluation post-sale to ensure the horse’s airflow is of normal function + Blood testing post-sale for any Anabolic Androgenic Steroids on each lot purchased. (Note: If any lot fails Endoscope or Blood testing the sale is immediately cancelled).
SALEYARD COSTS: Sales expenses incurred in Team attending sale apportioned pro-rata across all yearlings purchased for syndication (Staff Transport, Accommodation, etc.) + Consultancy Fee to our appointed Independent Bloodstock Consultant for individual inspections of All yearlings to determine final lots to submit for veterinary inspection pro-rata across number of yearlings purchased for syndication + Miscellaneous costs of professional photographers + pedigree ratings software fee + apportioned pro-rata across all yearlings purchased for syndication.

weights, acceptances & jockey information, pre-race reports
including Speed Maps, Ratings and intended Raceday tactics, post race
statistical data, post race written review, etc.

YOU own the horse and YOU pay the accounts, therefore YOU need to KNOW what's happening with YOUR horse.
Every owner is equally important in our team's success.
Prizemoney

Prizemoney is distributed by the relevant Racing Authority's Stakes Payment Division, twice per calendar month.

Inspection of your horse (Visiting the Stables & Spelling Farm)
As an owner you are always welcome to visit the stable or spelling farm
with your family and friends to view your horse at a convenient time for
both you and the stable or spelling farm. A simple telephone call to
our office to arrange a suitable time would be required to organise an
acceptable time.
How do I know if the horse I am interested in purchasing a share in is physically ok?
Our company supplies a detailed independent veterinary report on each
individual horse we offer to the public.
Each promotion we offer to the public includes has a current veterinary certificate (within 30 days) of lodgement of the documents with the Lead Regulator for Approval of the Promotion.
Further, within the PDS we declare that should any event change the health or well-being (injury or illness) of the horse prior to the registration of the scheme with the Lead Regulator, the risk remains with the Dynamic Syndications as the promoter and the purchaser / investor shall have a full refund of their share application price paid into the trust account.
This veterinary report will always include a
review of the horse's:
* Physical conformation and size,
* A review of the Full Set of 36 X-rays,
* A Post-Sale Endoscopic Evaluation and
* A blood test checking against the use of Anabolic Steroids or Agents in the preparation of the yearling for the sales.
Why do some syndicators offer shares without an x-ray report but most do? Are x-rays important?
Firstly, Dynamic Syndications only purchase horses for syndication that have been passed by our veterinarian as suitable for purchase with no significant findings noted on any of the 36 X-rays which are read.
X-ray reports are available on 99.99% of quality yearlings offered for sale at major sales.
They are a valuable tool available to be used to determine the suitability of a yearling as a candidate for purchase.
The average cost to having a set of X-rays is only $165.
It is a Due Diligence / Quality Assurance issue. As a promoter of shares to the public, we would never promote a horse with any issues that are likely to inhibit the racing career of a horse. Whilst there is always an exception to the rule and a small number of horses may race successfully where major defects are visible on X-ray’s, there is a golden rule – If in Doubt – Rule it out!
Would you buy a house without a building and pest report? Well it’s the same principal. Some horses are the price of houses and at every sale inexperienced / amateur buyers, irresponsible participants, unscrupulous dealers, lazy or unfinancial trainers and a host of others step forward and buy horses that on X-ray have issues that are highly likely to prevent the horse making a successful racehorse. Then those horses are on-sold to the unsuspecting public. Lot’s of money is exchanged on a horse that has little to no hope making the grade.
We know trainers can break down sound horses – They don’t need to start with a problem. So why risk it?
As the saying goes: If it sounds to good to be true – It is ! Quality horses cost a lot to buy. There are a lot of professional buyers at the sales who are experienced horsemen and women. However none have X-ray vision. If a well bred, well conformed athletic horse with a commercial pedigree can be purchased well below market value, then as a potential investor serious questions and hesitation should apply.
There will always be salering bargains, however overall they are hard to find. Smart operators and professional syndicators know the marketplace values.
As a potential buyer of a share in any horse, read the veterinarian report and be satisfied the horse had X-rays available and they were read at the sale and the horse passed suitable for purchase,
Always be careful. If there are no X-rays available – ask why? Has someone got something to hide?
Even if X-rays were not available from the vendor at the yearling sale, the promoter should themselves arrange to have a set of X-rays taken to ensure potential investors are not disadvantaged. That's due diligence.
Comment: Always compare and ensure what you are actually getting for your money – do your homework and you will enjoy the experience of racehorse ownership.
Insurance
Promoters are not considered insurance agents under the Act. Our Share
Price includes insurance from the fall of the hammer for a finite
period. In most circumstances, that date is through to 1st November in
the year of purchase of the yearling.
On this date, each shareholder may individually choose to re-insure their share at their own expense should they wish to do so.
Owners are under no obligation to re-insure. Some owners decide to
re-insure, some owners choose not to re-insure. It is a matter of
personal preference.
Dynamic Syndications always recommend that our owners consider their
personal position and if appropriate, we do recommend that clients
re-insure.
Owners should budget approximately 4% of the insured value as the
anticipated annual premium. For example, if the insured value of your 5%
share was $8,000 then the premium would be approximately $320.00.
The promoter does not act as an insurance agent but is able to put individual shareholders in contact with insurance providers.
On behalf of our owners, if requested we will complete and forward all
necessary documentation to the relevant insurance provider.
Dynamic Syndications Managing Director has had business dealings with LOGAN LIVESTOCK INSURANCE since 1986.
At our request, Logan's
will contact each owner directly to determine your preferences. Owners
are under no obligation to use the recommended insurance provider.
Clients are free to use the insurance provider of their choice.

A
Acceptor: A horse that has been declared by the owner or trainer to run in a race.
Age of Horse: Race horses all celebrate their birthdays on the same day. This makes it easier to keep track of breeding and records.
In the southern hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore) horses celebrate their birthday on the 1st of August each year.
In the northern hemisphere (United Kingdom, Ireland, France, USA and Canada) horses celebrate their birthday on the 1st of January each year.

Anterior: Towards the front.
Apprentice - Junior jockey indentured to a trainer for a four year apprenticeship. An apprentice can claim a reduction of up to 4kgs in the weight carried by the horse. As the jockey wins more races the amount they can claim is reduced. Claim appears next to their name in the racing guides (e.g. 1.5kg)
Apprentice Claim: Weight concession to an apprentice rider.

Bay: A horse colour that varies from a yellow-tan to a bright auburn. The mane, tail and lower portion of the legs are always black, except where white markings are present.
Benchmark: Under this system the weight a horse carries at its next start is determined immediately after its previous race, according to the merit of that run. Each Benchmark point equals half a kilogram.
Birdcage: A portion of the racecourse where horses are paraded before the start of the race. Birdcage is also known as the celebrity room at large race days such as the Melbourne Cup in Australia.

Am I joining a partnership or syndicate? ..... What is the difference?
The most common forms of ownership of thoroughbred racehorses are: Co-ownership or Partnership, (often referred to as a "Syndicate" of owners).
Legal advice is now advocating “Co-ownership” of racehorses as distinct from a racing “Partnership” as the preferred ownership structure where there are multiple shareholders (ownership arrangements) of horses. The main reasons for this advice is the “joint and several” liability associated with racing partnerships which do not affect “co-ownerships” and also various tax advantages associated with co-ownership over a partnership.
Therefore Dynamic Syndications only promote 20 share “Co-ownership” horses.
Why 20 Shares ?
Under the Australian Rules of Racing the industry allows up to 20 shares in a racehorse.
As of 1st January 2017, ASIC has allowed an exemption where you may now have up to a maximum 50 participants (owners) who between them, own these 20 shares in any publicly promoted horse.
Therefore co-ownership is no longer restricted to one owner per 5% share. Two (2) or more people many join together to purchase a 5% share between them in a syndicate arrangement.
The obligation is on the promoter to ensure that at all times, the total promotion of 20 shares does not exceed a total of 50 people.
What is Co-ownership?
This term is used to describe the legal relationship between various multiple shareholders who each own an equity proportion of the horse. Where the relationship between the various multiple owners is one of co-ownership, each co-owner (shareholder) will be entitled to receive directly their proportion of the net prizemoney (if any) won by the horse and will also be liable for their proportion of costs associated with maintaining and racing the horse. Under co-ownership, each owner is only liable for their proportion of costs associated with maintaining and racing the horse. Co-owners are not "jointly" and "severally" liable for 100% of the costs should other owners default. The multiple owners’ interests in each horse as per the Racing Syndicate Deed are managed by Dynamic Syndications.
What is a Racing Partnership?
This term is used to describe the legal relation between various persons who collectively agree to form a partnership for the purpose of owning a racing a racehorse. The horse under this arrangement becomes the partnerships property and each owner will be beneficially entitled to their proportion of partnership income earned from racing the horse and will be liable to contribute to the partnership, an amount equivalent to their proportion of costs associated with maintaining and racing the horse. The horse will always be owned by the partnership and not by the individual owners directly and “all” of the partners will be liable "collectively" for the debts of the partnership. Under the Australian Rules of Racing you may only have between 1-20 OWNERS of a horse. From a legal perspective, you have a Partnership or a Co-ownership. Dynamic Syndications create 20 share Co-ownership agreements.
What is a Racing Syndicate?
Should 2 - 20 people combine to buy one or more share/s in a racehorse, this situation is referred to as a "Racing Syndicate". Whilst all syndicate owners are registered with the Racing Authority, under the Australian Rules of Racing, individual syndicate members with less than a 5% equity shares are not permitted to receive individual OWNER privileges. However for that Racing Syndicate, the Syndicate name appears in the racebook and the Manager of the Syndicate receives the owners entitlement.
At Dynamic Syndications we arrange 20 share CO-OWNERSHIPS which attract FULL OWNERS PRIVILEGES.
We also assist our owners in the creation of syndicates for multiple owners to join together to purchase a share in any of our promotions.
Am I locked into the Share as a Co-Owner?
No.
In any racing partnership created by Dynamic Syndications - you own your 5% share.
It’s not a lease, nor a fixed term contract. It’s a re-saleable asset. In reality, you have title to the share in the horse until it passes away from old age or you sell the share (whichever comes first).
You can offer your share for sale at any stage.
However, for avoidance of any doubt: There will be no ready market for the Shares.
Neither the Syndicate Manager nor the Racing Manager will be obliged to sell a Share on behalf of an Owner.
Each Owner should consider the acquisition of a Share as a long term investment for the life of the Syndicate.
Fluctuations in the value and sale price of Shares should be anticipated. Factors which will influence both the value and sale price of the Shares include, without limitation, the following:
(a) the skill and expertise of the individuals engaged to manage, maintain and market the Horse, as well as the manner in which
these functions are carried out;
(b) the race performances of the Horse;
(c) the Horse may die or its value may be diminished as a consequence of accident, injury, contraction of disease or natural cause;
(d) the level of demand for horses of equivalent calibre both at public auction and by private treaty;
(e) the level of supply of horses of equivalent calibre both at public auction and by private treaty;
(f) any change in the current conditions affecting investment in the thoroughbred horse industry, including level of prize money and taxation
benefits available to breeders;
(g) changing conditions within the Australian economy generally; and
(h) the price which buyers at public auction or by private treaty are willing to pay either for the Horse, or Shares in the Horse,
if offered for sale, may not reflect either the purchase price paid by the Offeror for the Horse or the sale price of the Shares offered
under this PDS.
If I want out of the horse and can't find a buyer - can I give the share away?
NO (but in reality = YES)
The technical reason behind the NO answer is that there is a liability of debt being incurred on the horse on a daily basis which must be met 100%.
Each shareholder is liable for their share of the expenses.
HOWEVER in 99% of circumstances one of the other co-owners should/would agree to pick up the share.
Under the Racing Syndicate Deed there is a pre-emptive rights clause that ensures current co-owners have first right of refusal so are offered the share through Dynamic Syndications as the Administration Manager to the promotion.
Dynamic Syndications will assist facilitate the disposal of the share wherever possible.
What obligations am I under when I agree to become a Co-Owner in the horse?
You are contractually obligated to meet your percentage share of the expenses incurred by the horse throughout its racing and breeding career, whilst you remain the owner of that share.
During its racing career we estimate a budget $77.00 per week, (equivalent to $11.00 per day) over 12 months, on a worse case basis should meet all expenses.
If I want out - how do I get out? & ..... What will my share be worth?
A SHARE IN A RACEHORSE IS A TRADABLE COMMODITY
However, it should be viewed as if selling a house or car. It may take some time until a buyer can be found. Seldom is a buyer immediately available.
Under Australian Partnership Law, there are various mechanisms in place to dispose of share. In all Dynamic Syndications promoted horses we have a specific Racing Syndicate Deed which explains the process involved.
We require the co-owner wishing to sell their share to contact the Administration Manager (Dynamic Syndications) and then you as the vendor will need to arrange for an independent valuation from one of the thoroughbred Auction Houses. Then under a pre-emptive rights provision, you put the share up for sale to the other partners first.
During this period the seller may also attempt to find a buyer however existing owners and the trainer have a pre-emptive right to the share.
Any new co-owner must agree to the Terms of the PDS and Racing Syndicate Deed before the transaction can proceed.
Basically, co-owners want to sell their share for a couple of main reasons:
(a) Change in personal circumstances – e.g. Financial Hardship (bankruptcy, loss of job, etc.), change of Marital Status, Overseas re-locations, etc. or
(b) The horse is not showing enough promise as a racing prospect.
In part (a) above, if the horse is showing racing promise, it is never difficult to find a buyer from within the existing partnership structure. Should the horse not be showing enough ability then this relocates the situation into clause (b).
The clause (b) situation is unfortunately encountered in horses through injury, illness or lack of ability. They fail to reach their owners dreams. Should this be the case, the Racing Manager and the Administration Manager shall call a meeting or make formal contact with all partners with the view of dissolving the partnership. Should this be decided upon by a vote of the majority, then the preferential way of disposal of a horse is to sell it at a tried horse public auctions which are conducted each quarter at the Magic Millions or William Inglis sale yards.
Also Private Treaty sales may in rare occasions be negotiated.
WHAT WILL MY SHARE BE WORTH ?
Values swing wildly during a horse’s racing and breeding career.
This valuation swing is based around success.
In essence, a share in a horse represents Muscle, Bone and Earning Potential.
As exposed form and / or age take effect, the value will increase or decrease accordingly.
Dynamic Syndications Director and Responsible Officer is a longstanding member of the Bloodstock Agents Federation of Australia.
He will have an accurate assessment to what the horse is worth.
We require co-owners looking to sell their share to obtain an independent market appraisal from either auction house (Magic Millions or William Inglis), prior to offering any share for sale.
Management Fees - Why do I pay them & ..... Do I get Bang for Buck?
Information About Management Fees
Professional Licensed Promoters include Management Fees in the Product Disclosure Statement for the day to day Management of the horse throughout its Racing Career.
Management of a horse by a Promoter is considered important to most if not all investors, as certain Promoters may have extensive experience in the industry.
For example Dynamic Syndications Managing Director has been an active and independent racing industry participant, forging a career as a Bloodstock Agent and Syndicator since 1984.
Investors should consider the monthly management service and fee as detailed in the Product Disclosure Statement (and Racing Syndicate Deed) for the services provided and ask any questions of the Promoter after reading the detailed information set out below:
Investors should note that under the agreement to provide a management service, it’s only for the racing career of the horse until the co-ownership of the horse is dissolved upon racetrack retirement and does not extend beyond this into its breeding career (if applicable).

A working example was when our syndicated horse HONOR IN WAR finished 2nd in the AJC VILLIERS Stakes Gr2 behind TAKEOVER TARGET. We lodged an objection and put forward our opinion to the Stewards. Our protest was upheld and the race result was corrected – We WON !
Another working example from the opposite position was when we were first past the post with our horse MIDNIGHT AT ASCOT in the Magic Millions Country Cup on Magic Millions Day.
We were subject to a protest by the runner up where that horse’s rider said our horse interfered with his mount over the final 200m. On behalf of our owners we put forward our view that the interference claim was caused in the most part by the Runner-up. The protest was dismissed and we retained the race.

Our Management Fee is currently set at $69.00 + GST = $75.00 per Calendar month.
That’s $2.26 per day + GST = $2.49 Per Day including GST.
MANAGEMENT FEES are payable by every Co-Owner under Dynamic Syndications.
The Fee is capped at 2 horses.
Owners with shares in 3 or more horses with Dynamic Syndications will only pay the costs to the maximum threshold for 2 horses = $150.00 including GST
How to Read and Understand a Horse Sale Catalogue Pedigree Page
The catalogue is the book which outlines in written format each horse in a sale.
Each page in the catalogue describes a different horse and their pedigree (family ancestry tree).
Each thoroughbred pedigree concentrates on the female family not the male line.
Why? Because a mare can only produce one foal per year, whilst a Sire could cover up to 250 mares in a year. Therefore it’s the mares’ families where the commercial value of a young thoroughbred is realised.
Arguably the most important indicator for commercial value are twofold: The commercial demand of the Sire (Service Fee and Racetrack success of his progeny) and BLACK-TYPE.
What is BLACK-TYPE?
It’s the common industry term used to describe Bold Print on the catalogue page.
When a horse Wins a Stakes Race (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and Listed Race) the horse’s name is recorded in BOLD UPPERCASE.
If a horse was placed 2nd or 3rd in one of these Stakes Races the horse’s name is recorded in BOLD LOWERCASE. If a horse runs 4th in one of these races, no bold type is added to the horse’s name however the race is recorded on the page the 4th is in bold.
Simply the more BOLD print (BLACK-TYPE) on the catalogue page equals the more high quality horses in the female family. As a flow on, the more high quality horses the more commercially appealing the horse is to the market.
A pedigree provides extensive details about the relatives of each yearling offered (e.g. how many foals / winners the dam has produced, the race performances of each dam and their offspring).
All catalogue pages have certain structural similarities.
Horses appear in the catalogue and through the sales ring in Lot number order, beginning with Lot 1.
In the high majority of cases, Lot numbers in a sale run in the alphabetical order of the 1st Dam (mother’s) name. The catalogue starts with a random letter of the alphabet and rolls through in alphabetical order.
Each horse actually wears this Lot number as a sticker placed on its hips to identify it as the correct lot being offered in the sale ring.
To familiarise yourself to the page layout, from top to bottom.
The majority of the information on each catalogue page in the sale of yearlings, 2-year-olds, horses in training, tried horses, weanlings and breeding stock, pertains to the dam's side (mother's / female’s) side of the family: (1st dam, 2nd dam, 3rd dam, 4th dam, etc.).
The first dam is the (mother) of the horse being sold
The second dam is the grand-dam (grandmother)
The third dam is the next generation. (Great-grandmother)
The fourth dam is the next generation (Great, Great-grandmother)
