GRAB YOUR SHARE IN THIS
GLAMOUR FILLY
with
GERRY & CIARON
BEFORE SHE'S ALL GONE !

She's ALL CLASS:



This filly was bred by
GERRY HARVEY at BARAMUL STUD.

So taken by the yearling he had produced, when GERRY HARVEY sold the filly to DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS and we were giving her to CIARON MAHER to train from his Sydney base at Warwick Farm, Gerry immediately purchased 25% back into this filly to race in co-ownership with us.

Gerry Harvey believes in the product he has bred and believes she could become a top shelf filly !

If that proves to be so, she would be worth a lot of money.




When you head to the yearling sales and put in the “Hard Yakka” of all the “Due Diligence” requirements you come away being well rewarded.



The hours and hours of pedigree work, then multiple saleyard inspections, shortlisting, culling, then the re-inspections and further culling. The week prior it’s been a hard slog, seven days pounding the pavement and then, concluding a final list to be examined by our veterinarian to weed out X-ray issues (many yearlings are rejected at this stage) and poor endoscopic profiles which hinder windflow.



We are left with the list of what in our opinion is the “Best of the Best” on type and budget.



It’s here that we, as a thoroughbred valuer, determine the ceiling price to bid up to on each lot that ultimately passes all of our due diligence.



Then the drama of the auction ring plays out and when we are the last man standing and the hammer falls, there are mixed emotions of euphoria that the hard work has paid off and we have secured a horse that we desire, and this is counterbalanced by the thought of the reality of the processes that lies ahead. 

Team Dynamic wish to share the following pictorial with our Owners and Followers of the first of the Dozen Yearlings we have purchased to date in 2024.


We commence our pictorial with a fabulous filly by champion sire ZOUSTAR from the quality stakes mare SLOW THE FLOW.

Then the real hard work starts from the Fall of Hammer.

From taking out Fall of Hammer insurance, race series eligibility payments and GST before the horse has even walked out of the salering.


Our ZOUSTAR x SLOW THE FLOW Filly at the yearling sales 9 January

Then there are the saleyard photos and videos, the reports, and interviews.

T
he organisation of the pass outs from the complex, and the booking of transport from the sale ground to the onward agistment property.


ZOUSTAR x SLOW THE FLOW 17 January after arriving from yearling sale


ZOUSTAR x SLOW THE FLOW on 29 January; 2 weeks after the yearling sale

Then the compliance work, creating the 72 pages of documentation required under an AFS License to sell any share in any horse we promote to the public. These documents must be lodged with the Lead Regulator and approved.

The yearling then needs to have a website profile created, identifying the blend of Sire and Dam, physical reports and pedigree evaluations determined and declared.

Whilst all these steps are underway, our yearling is allowed to graze in the paddock, unwinding from the hustle and bustle of a 10-week yearling sales preparation and then, the 7 to 10 days of hectic saleyard parades and the shock of being sold under hammer.

Our Fillies PLAYING in the paddock 7 February

With all our Team Dynamic yearling purchases, we like to give them 4-6 weeks to unwind and get over that experience, allowing the high protein feed and supplements that they have been fed to pass through their system, and allow these young horses the opportunity to get back in touch with nature, roaming freely and playing in the paddock with a mate of two before undertaking the process of being taught to be a horse and to be ridden.

The work done here is as vital as the work leading into a Group 1 race.

Shortcuts, or poor horsemanship can be the difference between failure or success at this vital stage of a young horse’s ultimate career.

We are desperate to ensure they are given the best care and attention, and we believe this is our “ace in the pack” having the services of Australia’s Leading Horseman – Shane Rose.


ADAM WATT and SHANE ROSE

STEP 1: Undercover round yard:

Learning to respond to pressure on mouth on long reins








STEP 2: Outside Round Yard:

Same process in an open environment for further stimuli 












STEP 3: FIRST RIDE: Responding from what she has been initially taught
now the process of a rider on her back and responding to commands of the rider.

SHANE ROSE - Australia's Best Horseman takes control.



Leading from tie-up stalls to undercover round yard for first experience.


SHANE ROSE gives the horse confidence as he puts weight on her back


All Smiles as SHANE is safely aboard without resentment from the filly


Moving well under SHANE ROSE responding to his requests

STEP 4: Riding outside with various environmental stimuli

GOLD STAR! - This filly is a quick learner !

STEP 5 Have a holiday ! Schools out for a month before the cycle starts again.


At Bimbadeen Park - 22 March



From the start to completion depending upon the individual horse, it will take between 4 to 6 weeks to graduate “Kindergarten.” This is where they are taught to respond to touch and pressure, and work with a rider not against the rider, laying the foundations for success.



Bred by Gerry Harvey, he liked the filly to such an extent, he has purchased back a leg (25%), to race in co-ownership with our Dynamic Owners.



It was a “No Brainer” for Gerry when we purchased the filly and gave it to CIARON MAHER to train her. After all, Ciaron is Australia’s Number 1 Trainer of Winners.  

Obviously, our Leading VIP Dynamic Ownership Team Members agree, as they have jumped aboard to race such a well-bred filly with looks to match.

Type and Residual are always a successful recipe.


That’s why we proudly announce we have only 7.5% to go to complete her co-ownership team.

This can be offered in combinations of: 1 x 7.5% Share, 1 x 5% Share and 1 x 2.5% Share or alternatively 3 x 2.5% Shares.

A 7.5% Share is $25,395, a 5% Share is $16,930 and a 2.5% Share is $8,465.

GREAT ANGLES - BIG JAW / NOSTRILS -
ATHLETIC - REAL SPRINTER
TYPE -
CLEAN X-RAYS - G1 ENDOSCOPE

This yearling fully passed inspection by 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.


GERRY HARVEY bred the filly and has purchased 25% to race her with us.

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 ZOUSTAR produces

~ we wanted to buy the yearling and to give it to CIARON MAHER


  • 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.
  • Intelligent Head - Wide Forehead - Soft Kind Eye
  • Has a strong reign (neck & distance from Poll to Withers)
  • Strong well defined top line (back) with the withers set well back
  • Excellent - Deep girth (Lung capacity)
  • A top walker – purposeful, balanced, with fluid motion.
  • Stands over good ground (length to back in correct proportion to balance of individual)
  • Nice style of individual by the sire with great V8 motor (hindquarter = propulsion)
  • Importantly this yearling Tracks Truly and has a Very Good Overstep (Propulsion)

Comments from 3 Leading Yearling Judges:


Dr Tim Roberts
(Veterinarian)

"This Filly is a real Zoustar type, she has the fabulous Zoustar walk and head on her and she was a terrific buy."

"From a Stakes Placed Gr1 performed 4 time winning mare, she oozes class and clinically you just can’t fault her. I thought she was an absolute bargain, Dynamic bought a truly lovely Filly"


Dean Watt
(Dynamic Syndications)

"The harder you work the luckier you get and never has that sentiment been more true than with this Filly."

"We thought we had no chance to buy her as I had valued her at $300,000 + and the way the ZOUSTAR'S were selling, I didn't think we had a hope, but late on Day 1 of the sale, she slipped through the net. It proves that you never know at an auction, so you have to do your due intelligence on every lot you like."

"She is low risk on X-ray and clean on Scope and she is a tremendously well put together individual."

"She is by the Sire of the moment out of a Group 3 twice placed and Gr1 and Gr2 performed mare and given her wonderful pedigree, she will always have terrific residual value. I am thrilled to own her and offer her to our Dynamic owners! The Fact that Gerry Harvey purchased 25% in a Filly he bred is endorsement enough."


  
Ciaron Maher
(Trainer):

"I am really delighted to be training this Filly for Dynamic Syndications and Gerry Harvey. She has a great pedigree, she is by the Sire of the moment and she was a really good looking and well put together individual."

"I have a few Zoustar’s in the stable and I really like what I have seen from them to date, they are easy to train and they can gallop. The Slow The Flow Filly is an absolute cracker and I am thrilled to have been given her to train."

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.


TRUE NICK RATING Score: A and 3.11

GEONICKS Rating Score: B+ 108% 5 SWs

Range Description  = "EXCELLENT"


Conformation:

Saleyard notes on this horse were:

SIZE - SUBSTANCE - HIGH QUALITY -
GREAT ANGLES - BIG JAW / NOSTRILS -
ATHLETIC - REAL
SPRINTER TYPE -
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 an erstwhile 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 scoring a True Nick A 3.11 & 5 SW on the Cross this individual was secured at a price representing terrific value to the team at Dynamic.

Pre-Sale we had valued the yearling at $300,000 (+ one bid $310,000). Our valuation is based upon: the Sire ZOUSTAR in 2023 saw his Service Fee increase to $220,000 (up from $192,000 in 2022; which was also up from $154,000 in 2021 - The year of our Filly's conception).

The Sire averaged at the 2024 Magic Millions $478,000 off a $154,000 Conception Service Fee = 3.1 times Service Fee.

In 2023 he averaged $440,233 off a $121,000 Service Fee = 3.6 times Service Fee.

In 2022 he averaged $435,357 off a $154,000 Service Fee = 2.8 times Service Fee.

This filly we valued at a 2.0-times Service Fee off $154,000 which is $308,000.

So to Secure her for $200,000 which is only 1.3 times Service Fee is exceptional value.

Add-in that Gerry Harvey has backed his judgment buying a leg (25%) in the filly is also a high endorsement.


Originally, pre-Sale our Valuation of $300,000 - $310,000 would be too expensive for Team Dynamic to purchase for syndication.

To secure her for less than that would be a bargain, and if she fell into our level, up to $220,000 we would buy her, but at that price, we were convinced she would sail over our ceiling price and unfortunately we would miss out on her.

20 minutes before she walked into the ring we were advised by the vendor's manager that the boss was locked-in on $200,000 which was fantastic for us as we had a fighting chance.

We sat and watched her go through the salering. Unbeknown to us, just before she went into the auction ring, Gerry told his staff he would drop the reserve to $150,000. However all prospective buyers had been advised earlier that it was a $200,000 Reserve so nobody was wasting their time bidding, expecting it to go much higher.

Then the auctioneer called that the filly was "On The Market at $150,000." We had been the $140,000 bid which was countered at $150,000 and then the auctioneers call came out that the filly was on the market. We realised we were playing for keeps. We sat back tactically and waited to let the strength come out of the bidding war. Watching we saw a bid for $160,000 then $170,000 came back, and then $180,000 was live on the filly. That's when we jumped in and took the physiological advantage and jumped the bid $20,000 to $200,000
which was the original Reserve $200,000.

That worked perfectly and we were not countered - Job Done! She was ours at $200,000 + GST.


We had asked Gerry what were his plans, prior to the sales and he said he was happy to race her.

We offered to buy the filly at the reserve price and give it to CIARON MAHER to train; but would like to know if he was prepared to buy into the filly for 10% as an endorsement that he believed in the filly he bred.

Gerry agreed but said he "loved this filly and was happy to hear that CIARON would be the trainer."

So he countered and said "I would be delighted to stay in her for up to 25% if that suits?"

We shook hands -If we purchased her Gerry would take a leg.

Dynamic Syndications purchased the filly 100% and then Sold back 25% straight away to Gerry Harvey.

Therefore we will be offering 75% into the market.

To secure the filly at $200,000 + GST was a 33% ($100,000) discount to our market appraisal of the true commercial value
and this represented exceptional value that we now pass onto our owners.

It was also $20,000 (9.1%) under our own self-imposed ceiling limit. It was arguably one of the best valued yearlings at the Magic Millions Sale and we owned it and Gerry had taken a leg. This was a real WIN - WIN situtaion.

PEDIGREE NOTES – It’s all in the genes !

On our ratings they have scaled this mating as a MAXIMUM performance indicator.


Also this has been rated a “A ” class mating with an opportunity that this mating can produce an above average racehorse when compared to the total number of horses produced by the sire to date.


This is classed as a EXCELLENT chance to produce an exceptional performer that may reach Black Type level.

This analysis is based upon Stakes Winners from around the world that have similar pedigree construction to the way the horse we have purchased was bred.


Based on the concept of "Dig for Gold where Gold has been found before", it makes sense that any sensible business philosophy should look to purchase yearlings where there has been an attempt by the breeder to replicate pedigrees of High Quality Group Winners.

Any analysis must look at the entire pedigree as whole however there are key indicators in pedigrees that expose greater insight and the propensity of the mating to produce a High Quality racehorse as compared to the average population.

"Common Similarity Index"
(CSI) is a measure of how close the pedigree of the Stakes Winner matches the hypothetical-mating.

In general, values at and above 18 indicate a strong similarity.

As a rule of thumb, if the results list shows 4 or more horses with CSI of 18 or above, it is usually a "good mating".

There are 19 Stakes Winners with a strong similarity in this breeding pattern.

Next .....


A 20/20 mating occurs when a pattern has 2 or more Stakes Winners with CSI values above 20.

This indicates that this pedigree is "exceptional" as there are at least 2 superior horses with a "very similar" pattern.


In the breeding pattern of our yearling the number of matched ancestors is HIGH.

There were 10 Stakes Winners with very similar breeding patterns.

Stakes Winning Horses bred on a Similar Pattern (22 or more Common Ancestors)

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.

This is what sets our company at the pinnacle of its field.

Dean Watt as a licensed Commercial Agent and an earstwhile longstanding Member of the Bloodstock Agents Federation of Australia (FBAA).

Dean is
approved to offer Market Appraisals as to the Commercial Valuation of all thoroughbreds.


Dean 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 variable and a figure is determined.

That 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 inspection 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.

Once we purchase any horse a share price is determined.

No related news for the Promotion.

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) -

Owners should budget for any horse trained by a Premiership Leading Trainer at a Sydney or Melbourne Metropolitan Racetrack an average of:

$8.90 + GST = $9.79 per day > ($62.50 + GST = $68.75 per week) >

($270 + GST = $297 per month) > ($3,250 + GST = $3,575 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.
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.

When racing - this includes keeping you fully informed with nominations, weights, acceptances & jockey information, pre-race reports including Speed Maps, Ratings and intended Raceday tactics, post race statistical data, post race written review, etc.

Let's Face It !

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.
Payment is sent by the Racing Authority approximately 30 days after winning.

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

Owners whom have a 5% share or greater will receive their prizemoney directly from the Racing Authority into their designated bank account.

Owners who form a Racing Syndicate (multiple owners in one share) will have their prizemoney deposited into the Dynamic Syndications Prizemoney Trust Account.

These funds will be disbursed immediately they have cleared through the banking system by our office to the individual racing syndicate members.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Below is a comprehensive glossary of horse racing and veterinary terms designed specifically for Dynamic Racehorse Owners to help understand some of the more unusual words which have been adopted in horse racing.

Horse racing dates back hundreds of years and has acquired some interesting use of the English language from all around the world which is now common place in everyday conversation.


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.

All Clear: The correct weights allocated to a horses depending on the type of race they are in, including jockey, gear and any lead that is required to make up the specific weight.

All In Betting: A bet taken usually at fixed odds early in betting.

Also Ran: A horse who finishes out of the money.

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.

Approximates: The approximate tote odds on offer before the final pool is closed.

Articular cartilage: Cartilage that covers the ends of bones where they meet in a joint.

Ataxia: Loss or failure of muscular coordination.

Atrophy: To waste away, usually used in describing muscles.

Average-Earnings Index (AEI): A breeding statistic that compares racing earnings of a stallion or mare's foals to those of all other foals racing at that time. An AEI of 1.00 is considered average, 2.00 is twice the average, 0.50 half the average, etc.


B

Barrier Draw: The ballot held to decide the barrier a horse will start from.

Barriers: What they call the starting gates the horses come out of at the start of the race.

Bar shoe: A horseshoe closed at the back to help support the frog and heel of the hoof. It is often worn by horses with quarter cracks or bruised feet.

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.

Blood may be seen coming out of the horse's nostrils, known as "epistaxis," although it is typically discovered by a fibre optic endoscopic examination after exercise. Hot, humid weather and cold are known to exacerbate the problem. Less than one bleeder in 20 shows signs of epistaxis. In Australia, a horse is banned from racing for 3 months after the first Bleeding Attack. If it happens again during a race the horse is banned from racing again in Australia for life. Australian racing is drug free, medication to prevent bleeding is prohibited.

Blinkers: A piece of gear placed on a horse to limit its vision to only seeing straight ahead and prevent it being distracted from what's around it.

Bloodstock agent: A person who advises and/or represents a buyer or seller of Thoroughbreds at a public auction or a private sale. A bloodstock agent usually works on commission, often five percent of the purchase price, and can also prepare a horse for sale.

Bolted: Describes a horse that fights the rider and charges along unable to be restrained

Bolted in: Describes a horse that has won the race by many lengths.

Bookmakers/Bookies: The people licensed to place your bet.

Bowed tendon: A type of tendinitis. The most common injury to the tendon is a strain or "bowed" tendon, so named because of the appearance of a bow shape due to swelling. The most common site of injury is in the superficial flexor tendon between the knee and the fetlock. Despite aggressive treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs, physical therapy and rest, horses commonly reinjure the tendon when they go back into racing.

Box/Boxed: Two or more runners to finish in any order in a multiple bet such as Quinella, Exacta, Trifecta.

Box Trifecta: Usually four or five horses are "boxed" in a trifecta. If three of the horses selected all finish in the first three placings, the punter collects for a winning trifecta.

Boxed (in): To be trapped between other horses.

Blows: When a horse is unwanted in betting before the race and the bookies increase the price. For example: a price blows out from $3.20 to $4.50.

Blow up: A horse that finishes weakly through a lack of fitness after looking good in the running of the race. If a horse has not raced for a long time - even if the animal is fit and well -  the horse is likely to be tire with the build-up of lactic acid and may be reported to have ‘a blow’, (heavy breathing) after the race.

Bookmakers: A person or company licensed by the government to take bets legitimately.

Box Trifecta: Usually four or five horses are “boxed” in a trifecta. If three of the horses selected all finish in the first three placings, the punter collects for a winning trifecta.

Bridle: Designed to control a horse, a bridle is made of leather and fits on a horse’s head so that other pieces of equipment can be attached. A bridle comprises of a headstall, a bit and the reins. The headstall fits over the head and holds the bit in the horse’s mouth.

Broken Down: When a horse suffered an injury.

Broken Winded: Abnormality of the upper or lower respiratory tract causing loss of normal air exchange, generally resulting in reduced performance.

Broodmare: A filly or mare that has been bred and is used to produce foals

Bulbs (of the heel): The two areas on either side of the back of the foot, similar to the heel of the hand.

Bursa: A sac containing synovial fluid (a natural lubricant). The purpose is to pad or cushion and thus facilitate motion between soft tissue and bone. Most commonly occurring where tendons pass over bones.

Bursitis: Inflammation in a bursa that results in swelling due to accumulation of synovial fluid. Capped elbow is inflammation of the bursa over the point of elbow (olecranon process of the ulna). "Capped hock" is inflammation of the bursa over the point of the hock (tuber calcis).

Bute: Anti-inflammatory medication. All horse racing in Australia is drug free, so it must not be present in the horse on race day.

Buy-Back: A horse put through a public auction that did not reach a minimum (reserve) price set by the consignor and so was retained. The consignor must pay a fee to the auction company based on a percentage of the reserve, to cover the auction company's marketing, advertising and other costs.


C

Y

Yearling: A young horse, typically two years old.





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.





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.



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  $68.75 per week, (equivalent to  $9.79 per day) over 12 months, on a worse case basis should meet all expenses.

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.



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).

Our business philosophy is to Ensure Our OWNERS are treated as  VIP's

* Trainer / Stable Representatives and Team Dynamic (unless physically impossible e.g. Runners at 3-4 different venues on same day) one of our Team will always endeavour to be on course with you on the days your horse races, to assist making your day enjoyable.

* We meet and greet you and complete formal introductions to your fellow co-owners, we introduce you to your jockey and we ensure you are in the inner sanctum of pre-race tactics between your trainer and jockey. We watch the race with our Owners and post-race include you in the inner sanctum to hear the report directly from the jockey and then, we attend the post-race rooms with our owners to watch replays and explain the how the race unfolded.

* We escort our Owners to the area to lead your horse back to the Winners Circle for feature race wins.

* We ensure as an Owner you and your guests, join the horse, the trainer and fellow owners in the Winner's Circle and get your photos taken everytime you win – wherever your win maybe !

* We have organised a Dynamic Syndications group discount with Bradley Photographers, the NSW based racetrack photographer, for our Owners to order their framed winners photo.

* We represent ALL OWNERS should your horse be involved in a Protest Hearing after a race. Dynamic Syndications Managing Director has been a continual Racehorse Owner since 1981 and held a Racing NSW Trainers Licence in the SERA. We are well placed to deliver an informed debate on behalf of our Owners to any inquiry. This can be vitally important as many thousands of dollars rests on the results.

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 experiences in the Thoroughbred Industry with our Managing Director being a constant Racehorse Owner for over 35 years, having been a racehorse trainer and working hand in glove with the Australian Rules of Racing with respect to both racing and compliance, cannot be underestimated as an important asset for your horse.

* We work with the Spelling Farm and Pre-Trainers to ensure constant information flow between Dynamic
   and the Trainer, so the horse is out for the correct required period. That means, if it needs 12 weeks it is not
   brought back in after 8 weeks by a stables administration error or not forgotten and still in the paddock after
   16 weeks, etc.

* We attend stables at other racetracks also on a regular basis to see your horse it’s in work.




* We do the Race Programming of ALL HORSES under our management in consultation with the Trainer. This ensures “your horse will never be lost in the system.” We work together with the trainer in the management of the horse to ensure every racing opportunity is identified and made available to your horse.

Our industry is one where goals and dreams change daily, because we are working with living animal that can’t communicate and in racing we are subject to the weather, we are not working with a machine. We are required to be flexible and have various stepping stones as alternatives, to give your horse every opportunity to succeed.

* We handle the jockey bookings in most circumstances in consultation with the Trainer.

* We work directly with our Veterinarians ensuring wherever possible, preventative measures are in place to limit the risk of severe injury. Also to ensure the best rest and recovery practices are maintained and delivered.

This will ensure even when your horse is in the spelling paddock, that your involvement and interest with our team can still be as profitable as possible.




MANAGEMENT FEES:

We work on the philosophy of low margin / high volume. We keep this fee down to rock bottom and spread it across ALL Horses under our management. This fee is to help us offset all the expenses we incur such as: Wages, Rent, Electricity, Telephone, Text, Industry Specific Software Fees, Annual Legal and Audit Fees, Travel, Banking / Merchant Services / Eftpos fees, Professional Indemnity Insurance, etc, etc, etc, ensuring you are the BEST INFORMED OWNER in the industry.

Our Management Fee is currently set at $69.00 + GST = $75.00 per Calendar month.

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




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)


Other information contained on the page, from top to bottom such as:

ZOUSTAR: His Story


Australia’s two dominant stallions of the past decade, Encosta de Lago and Redoute’s Choice, combine in the pedigree of brilliant sprinter Zoustar who made his start to stud duties with spectacular success.

The dual Gr.1 winner is the first horse to win the Golden Rose and the Coolmore Stud Stakes (Ascot Vale) double.

Zoustar (ex Zouzou by Redoute’s Choice), was a $140,000 Magic Millions purchase and heads his sire Northern Meteor’ honour board of successes with six wins and a second in nine starts and earnings of $1.4m.

His Career:


Fresh from a trial win over 900m (beating Charlie Boy) on April 2, trainer Chris Waller opted to give his talented juvenile his first start in an 1100m 2YO maiden at Canterbury on April 17, 2013 and he scored a strong win on a slow track having 1.75 lengths over Tweet at the finish.

He lived right up to that form next time out on May 4 when he led most of the way to claim at $100,000 juvenile event at Hawkesbury by a length from Divine Calling, running the 1300m in 1:17.0 and prompting jockey to declare, “It was a comfortable win, it was only his second run and he’s still learning his trade, but my word he gave me a great feel and we will be hearing a lot more from him if he goes to Brisbane.”

The trainer exercised that option and he lined up in the BRC Sires’ Produce-Gr.2 (1350m) on May 25.

Zoustar led home the field of 15 by 1.25 lengths, relegating the talented Vilanova and Bound for Earth into the minors, running 1:20.53 on a track rated dead.

He wasn’t disgraced in his final start as a juvenile when in Gr.1 company next time out (June 8) finishing a half-length second to another Northern Meteor, the gelded Romantic Touch, in the $500,00 J.J. Atkins (1600m), with Paximadia third in the field of 13.

He was back in action early in the new season with a fourth in the Run to the Rose-Gr.3 (1200m) at Rosehill on August 31, beaten 1.75 lengths by Va Pensiero.

Next start was another Gr.1 assignment, this time in the Golden Rose (1400m) at Rosehill on September 14. Settling well back in the field of 15 and skirting wide most of the way to avoid trouble, the three year-old colt swept around the field with 200m to go and with Jimmy Cassidy working hard got the better of Dissident on the line to win by a neck, with Bull Point 1.5 lengths back in third. The winner’s time was 1:22.51.

There was another win next time out, at Randwick on October 5, when Zoustar captured the Roman Consul Stakes-Gr.2 (1200m in 1:09.45) by 4.25 lengths from Barbed and Open Book, signalling he was one of the best young sprinters in the land. Clearly several major studs thought so too and in the end Widden won the bidding duel for the talented three year-old, paying a rumoured $14m, with contingencies, so there was plenty on the line when he lined up in the VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes (Ascot Vale) Gr.1, down the Flemington straight on November 2 (including an additional $4m payment to his former owners if he won).

In the end he simply powered away, cruising to the lead at the 300m to win the $500,000 1200m sprint, running 1:09.23 on a dead track to beat Not Listenin’tome by two lengths and with Lion of Belfort third in the field of 11.

Zoustar’s Coolmore Stud Stakes victory was some 1.2 seconds quicker than Buffering’s Gr.1 WFA win a week later. His time was 1.3 seconds faster than his sire and grandsire Northern Meteor and Encosta de Lago clocked in their Coolmore victories.

“He’s a horse we’ve been following since day one and it’s been very exciting to watch his career unfold from a debut win at two to being the best three year-old sprinting colt of his generation,” Widden owner Antony Thompson said after the colt’s second Gr.1 success. “Northern Meteor made such a huge impact for us in the short time that we were lucky enough to have him, so it seems only right that his best son should follow in his footsteps and join us at Widden.”

Although Zoustar was impressive, his trainer Chris Waller predicted bigger things in the autumn. “He’s still not quite there yet, he’s still learning. He didn’t get any cover which didn’t help, he was always going to be vulnerable the last 200m. I think there’s still a lot of improvement to come.”

His new connections, Widden sold 25% to Woodside Park (where the horse did cover his second and fourth seasons) as well as an interest to Sheikh Fahad Al Thani’s Qatar Bloodstock, began planning an assault on Royal Ascot and the horse was given a break until early 2014 when he appeared in two trials before an unplaced run in the Canterbury Stakes-Gr.1 on March 15 and then a trial win on March 31 before shipping out to England.

Sheikh Fahad said. “I was able to inspect Zoustar following his dominant win the Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington. This colt represents everything that is great about Australian horses. He is strong, masculine and incredibly fast and I am very excited about the prospects of him racing in Europe and ultimately retiring to stud.”

The horse was showing sparkling form in his gallops in the UK when he suffered a small strain to the lateral aspect of the proximal suspensory ligament. Although not serious, the injury meant three months off racing and the decision was made to retire the valuable colt immediately.

“It is extremely disappointing that we are not able to compete at Ascot and the owners and I are devastated by this. The horse had travelled extremely well to England and for me it was the start of what would have been the experience of a lifetime. Zoustar’s ability, attitude and physical attributes as well as his gentlemanly temperament make him a tremendously special horse to me,” Waller said when announcing the horse’s retirement as the winner of six of his nine starts for earnings of $1,411,680 and a World Thoroughbred Ranking of 117 (in 2013).

Zoustar was first in the ring as a weanling and sold to KP Thoroughbreds for $85,000 at the 2011 MM National Sale. Kulani Park and offered him as a yearling at the Gold Coast seven months later where the colt was snapped up for $140,000.

ZOUSTAR becomes a Shuttle Stallion:


Zoustar, part-owned by Qatar Racing, will stand at Tweenhills Stud in Gloucestershire for the 2019 breeding season.
Currently based at Widden Stud in New South Wales, Zoustar will shuttle to the UK next season where he will join the Qatar Racing stallion roster. European breeders will have access to the most promising young stallion in the southern hemisphere.

The Australian 3YO champion sprinter made a sensational start to his stud career, siring three Group 2 winners in his first crop. These include Sunlight, the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and Silver Slipper Gr. 2 winner who then placed in the richest two-year-old race in the world, the Golden Slipper Stakes Gr. 1.

He also sired the Quinella in the Sires’ Produce Stakes Gr. 2 at Doomben with his sons Lean Mean Machine and Zousain.
Zousain who had previously won the Champagne Classic Gr. 2, then went on to finish runner up by a neck in the J.J Atkins Plate Gr. 1 over a mile.

With his progeny collecting over $3 million in prize money earnings to date, the handsome son of Northern Meteor has broken the all-time prize money record for an Australasian Champion first-season sire.

Zoustar also finished in third position on the two-year-old sires table last season behind Snitzel and I Am Invincible.
Again this season Zoustar is leading the way as a Second Crop sire.

Unsurprisingly Zoustar’s yearlings have proven extremely popular at the sales.

“The opportunity to stand the sensational Champion Zoustar at Tweenhills is the most exciting thing I have been involved with in my career. The buzz surrounding this horse and what he has achieved in Australia is deafening and to be able to stand him alongside Qatar Racing’s other sensational young stallions is an honour and a challenge that my team and I relish.” Said Daivid Redvers – from Tweenhills.

“From the first moment Sheikh Fahad and I saw Zoustar at Flemington we were convinced that we were witnessing something special and had to be involved. He has that rare mixture of precocity, natural speed, turn of foot, pedigree and physical presence you see in only a very few genuinely top flight stallions. We were spellbound and have been ‘all-in’ ever since.

“I’m not sure European breeders have ever been offered access to such an exciting Australian stallion at this point in his career and news has been received with tremendous support and enthusiasm from Europe’s leading farms.”

Antony Thompson, owner of Widden Stud, commented; “Zoustar standing at Tweenhills provides a rare chance to showcase one of our hottest young stallions in Europe. We were always confident that he is a stallion who would leave his mark and see great success in both hemispheres. He is a beautiful looking horse, a Champion racehorse with a great temperament, he stamps his stock who are every inch like their sire, and he has the potential to even surpass his own magnificent and much missed sire, Northern Meteor.”

PEDIGREE NOTES – It’s all in the genes !

On our ratings they have scaled this mating as a MAXIMUM performance indicator.


Also this has been rated a “A ” class mating with an opportunity that this mating can produce an above average racehorse when compared to the total number of horses produced by the sire to date.


This is classed as a EXCELLENT chance to produce an exceptional performer that may reach Black Type level.

This analysis is based upon Stakes Winners from around the world that have similar pedigree construction to the way the horse we have purchased was bred.


Based on the concept of "Dig for Gold where Gold has been found before", it makes sense that any sensible business philosophy should look to purchase yearlings where there has been an attempt by the breeder to replicate pedigrees of High Quality Group Winners.

Any analysis must look at the entire pedigree as whole however there are key indicators in pedigrees that expose greater insight and the propensity of the mating to produce a High Quality racehorse as compared to the average population.

"Common Similarity Index"
(CSI) is a measure of how close the pedigree of the Stakes Winner matches the hypothetical-mating.

In general, values at and above 18 indicate a strong similarity.

As a rule of thumb, if the results list shows 4 or more horses with CSI of 18 or above, it is usually a "good mating".

There are 19 Stakes Winners with a strong similarity in this breeding pattern.

Next .....


A 20/20 mating occurs when a pattern has 2 or more Stakes Winners with CSI values above 20.

This indicates that this pedigree is "exceptional" as there are at least 2 superior horses with a "very similar" pattern.


In the breeding pattern of our yearling the number of matched ancestors is HIGH.

There were 10 Stakes Winners with very similar breeding patterns.

Stakes Winning Horses bred on a Similar Pattern (22 or more Common Ancestors)

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.

This is what sets our company at the pinnacle of its field.

KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE
.




A PROVEN CROSS (also known as a NICK):


A NICK = SUCCESS


The GENETICS of our horse have been bred to a "PROVEN NICK"


Genetically – this horse has been bred to be a racetrack star.


When we went to the sales we were looking first and foremost for the individual.


It has to be an equine athlete.


However being aware that over 76% of Stakes Winners come from just 20% of the foal crop each year and we can identify this 20% of the foal crop as having a pedigree graded as above, so we will ONLY search for equine athletes that are based within this graded sub-group.

In an easy to understand "rule of thumb" example : there are approximately 16,000 foals born each year. On our statistical data, we identified that 20% (3,200) produce 76% of the STAKES WINNERS annually.

Therefore the opposite to the above equation is 12,800
yearlings produce just 24% of the STAKES WINNERS annually.

So, where would you rather go looking for a Stakes Winner ?

In a pool of 3,200 that produces 76% of Stakes Winners
or
in a pool of 12,800 yearlings that produces 24% of Stakes Winners.


Simply - We leave the rest for the other industry participants to consume.
 

Whichever set of statistical data you choose to accept and rely upon for information flow, it remains constant – Simply, on its pedigree, our horse was produced upon an exceptionally good mating with  a significantly increased opportunity to produce an above average racehorse.   

Since we have matched this pedigree to our individual’s excellent conformation, size, strength and athleticism, we are convinced this horse represents a wonderful opportunity for equine investment in a quality thoroughbred.


Whilst there can never be any guarantees in thoroughbred breeding or racing and this horse would be no exception to that fact, the reality is that we would always rather start with and take advantage of sets of statistics which are weighted heavily in our favour, than to purchase another horse only bred to be average in the first instance and then, having to pray for a miracle.


It’s not pure luck or an incredible set of coincidences that produces stakes class horses.

However it’s not until we do our due diligence work and we analyse the statistical data to produce these facts does the old proverbs ring true again:


 

"The apple doesn’t roll far from the tree"

"Keep drilling where oil has been found"

"Keep digging where you find gold"


Understanding this aspect of our industry is vital.

That’s why we have such outstanding racetrack success year after year after year.

The statistics speak for themselves.

That’s why its important to deal with a Specialist !

You can't buy experience !

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 ZOUSTAR produces

~ we wanted to buy the yearling and to give it to CIARON MAHER


  • 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.
  • Intelligent Head - Wide Forehead - Soft Kind Eye
  • Has a strong reign (neck & distance from Poll to Withers)
  • Strong well defined top line (back) with the withers set well back
  • Excellent - Deep girth (Lung capacity)
  • A top walker – purposeful, balanced, with fluid motion.
  • Stands over good ground (length to back in correct proportion to balance of individual)
  • Nice style of individual by the sire with great V8 motor (hindquarter = propulsion)
  • Importantly this yearling Tracks Truly and has a Very Good Overstep (Propulsion)

Comments from 3 Leading Yearling Judges:


Dr Tim Roberts
(Veterinarian)

"This Filly is a real Zoustar type, she has the fabulous Zoustar walk and head on her and she was a terrific buy."

"From a Stakes Placed Gr1 performed 4 time winning mare, she oozes class and clinically you just can’t fault her. I thought she was an absolute bargain, Dynamic bought a truly lovely Filly"


Dean Watt
(Dynamic Syndications)

"The harder you work the luckier you get and never has that sentiment been more true than with this Filly."

"We thought we had no chance to buy her as I had valued her at $300,000 + and the way the ZOUSTAR'S were selling, I didn't think we had a hope, but late on Day 1 of the sale, she slipped through the net. It proves that you never know at an auction, so you have to do your due intelligence on every lot you like."

"She is low risk on X-ray and clean on Scope and she is a tremendously well put together individual."

"She is by the Sire of the moment out of a Group 3 twice placed and Gr1 and Gr2 performed mare and given her wonderful pedigree, she will always have terrific residual value. I am thrilled to own her and offer her to our Dynamic owners! The Fact that Gerry Harvey purchased 25% in a Filly he bred is endorsement enough."


  
Ciaron Maher
(Trainer):

"I am really delighted to be training this Filly for Dynamic Syndications and Gerry Harvey. She has a great pedigree, she is by the Sire of the moment and she was a really good looking and well put together individual."

"I have a few Zoustar’s in the stable and I really like what I have seen from them to date, they are easy to train and they can gallop. The Slow The Flow Filly is an absolute cracker and I am thrilled to have been given her to train."

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.


TRUE NICK RATING Score: A and 3.11

GEONICKS Rating Score: B+ 108% 5 SWs

Range Description  = "EXCELLENT"

Saleyard notes on this horse were:

SIZE - SUBSTANCE - HIGH QUALITY -
GREAT ANGLES - BIG JAW / NOSTRILS -
ATHLETIC - REAL
SPRINTER TYPE -
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 an erstwhile 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 scoring a True Nick A 3.11 & 5 SW on the Cross this individual was secured at a price representing terrific value to the team at Dynamic.

Pre-Sale we had valued the yearling at $300,000 (+ one bid $310,000). Our valuation is based upon: the Sire ZOUSTAR in 2023 saw his Service Fee increase to $220,000 (up from $192,000 in 2022; which was also up from $154,000 in 2021 - The year of our Filly's conception).

The Sire averaged at the 2024 Magic Millions $478,000 off a $154,000 Conception Service Fee = 3.1 times Service Fee.

In 2023 he averaged $440,233 off a $121,000 Service Fee = 3.6 times Service Fee.

In 2022 he averaged $435,357 off a $154,000 Service Fee = 2.8 times Service Fee.

This filly we valued at a 2.0-times Service Fee off $154,000 which is $308,000.

So to Secure her for $200,000 which is only 1.3 times Service Fee is exceptional value.

Add-in that Gerry Harvey has backed his judgment buying a leg (25%) in the filly is also a high endorsement.


Originally, pre-Sale our Valuation of $300,000 - $310,000 would be too expensive for Team Dynamic to purchase for syndication.

To secure her for less than that would be a bargain, and if she fell into our level, up to $220,000 we would buy her, but at that price, we were convinced she would sail over our ceiling price and unfortunately we would miss out on her.

20 minutes before she walked into the ring we were advised by the vendor's manager that the boss was locked-in on $200,000 which was fantastic for us as we had a fighting chance.

We sat and watched her go through the salering. Unbeknown to us, just before she went into the auction ring, Gerry told his staff he would drop the reserve to $150,000. However all prospective buyers had been advised earlier that it was a $200,000 Reserve so nobody was wasting their time bidding, expecting it to go much higher.

Then the auctioneer called that the filly was "On The Market at $150,000." We had been the $140,000 bid which was countered at $150,000 and then the auctioneers call came out that the filly was on the market. We realised we were playing for keeps. We sat back tactically and waited to let the strength come out of the bidding war. Watching we saw a bid for $160,000 then $170,000 came back, and then $180,000 was live on the filly. That's when we jumped in and took the physiological advantage and jumped the bid $20,000 to $200,000
which was the original Reserve $200,000.

That worked perfectly and we were not countered - Job Done! She was ours at $200,000 + GST.


We had asked Gerry what were his plans, prior to the sales and he said he was happy to race her.

We offered to buy the filly at the reserve price and give it to CIARON MAHER to train; but would like to know if he was prepared to buy into the filly for 10% as an endorsement that he believed in the filly he bred.

Gerry agreed but said he "loved this filly and was happy to hear that CIARON would be the trainer."

So he countered and said "I would be delighted to stay in her for up to 25% if that suits?"

We shook hands -If we purchased her Gerry would take a leg.

Dynamic Syndications purchased the filly 100% and then Sold back 25% straight away to Gerry Harvey.

Therefore we will be offering 75% into the market.

To secure the filly at $200,000 + GST was a 33% ($100,000) discount to our market appraisal of the true commercial value
and this represented exceptional value that we now pass onto our owners.

VETERINARY INSPECTIONS & INSURANCE


Dean Watt with: Dr. Tim Roberts (Our Vet) & Richard Logan (Logans Insurance)

“Our Due Diligence Is Your Quality Assurance”



VETERINARY REPORT:

This yearling has passed a complex physical veterinary inspection by our
Contracted Veterinarian - Dr. TIM ROBERTS.



Dr. Tim Roberts
- An integral part of Team Dynamic

Dynamic Syndications have had a long and close working relationship with

Dr. TIM ROBERTS of CENTENNIAL PARK VETERINARY PRACTICE.

Tim and Dean have developed an understanding, good working relationship and friendship.


Tim is a vital member of Team Dynamic

Tim and Dean have a Simple but Golden Rule -

"If In Doubt - Rule It Out."

We take a ZERO TOLERANCE policy on X-RAY issues.


X-RAYS being inspected in the X-Ray Repository at the Sales

We are looking for thoroughbreds with athleticism, size, strength and scope to grow into quality equine athletes.

Tim has been advising (& educating) Dean on conformation evaluation, with attention to structural defects likely to increase the risk of breakdown.

Dr. Tim Roberts is instrumental to our foundation Runners:Winners Ratio of 82.5% - which has now improved to over 90% and Runners: Prizemoney Earners over 96%.



Veterinarian Dr. TIM ROBERTS - Contracted Veterinarian

It’s no surprise that Dynamic Syndications has achieved outstanding success built on sound business philosophies of our 4 pillars: Transparency, Integrity, Client Service and Racetrack Results.

For over 15 years, Dean Watt has been using the services of astute Sydney based veterinarian Dr. Tim Roberts of Centennial Park Veterinary Practice.

Dean Watt and Tim Roberts have developed an intrinsic understanding of one another’s thought patterns and processes over these years.

Tim assisted Dean develop and refine his personal equine knowledge and heighten Dean’s awareness and understanding of the bio-mechanics of horse conformation and movement.

Over the past few years, Tim has also been mentoring Adam Watt to the same knowledge base, allowing Adam to develop a sharp eye for these same bio-mechanical conformation and movement factors. This has ensured the Team at Dynamic have the necessary succession plans in place and the vital skills demanded in such a complex working environment.

Tim is also acutely aware of Dean and Adam’s unwavering importance placed upon critical analysis of every horse. A strict policy is implemented of never allowing any horse which is not the “Best of the Best” to survive the saleyard selection culling process.


Dean, Tim & Adam watching a yearlings walking action

Both Tim and Dean have an excellent working relationship which has resulted in their high volume of winners.

By working so closely together, this formed the basis for Dynamic Syndications foundation Runners : Winners Ratio of 82.5% which has continued to grow and as at MARCH 2019 sits at 93.1%.

Dr. Roberts understands the significance for Dynamic Syndications to at all times protect our Owners interests and at all times to protect our “hard won business reputation as leading racehorse syndicators,” by allowing Team Dynamic to only purchase “The Best of the Best”.

Sound, Athletic horses with “No Significant Findings” (low risk) noted on any of the 42 X-rays available for inspection in the saleyard repository and further, each horse must then pass as “Clean” on Endoscopic evaluation.

Also as a stated business practice and as it appears in our PDS, we ensure each yearling we purchase is blood tested as it leaves the salering, to ascertain that under the Australian Rules of Racing, there is no prohibited substances present.

By being extremely focused on this area of veterinary inspections at the yearling sale, our due diligence results in Dynamic Syndications Owners being offered the maximum opportunity to achieve racetrack success.

It’s Really Simple: Dr. Tim Roberts ensures we only buy Athletic, Strong, Well Grown and Sound Thoroughbreds which he has Passed Clean on X-ray, Endoscopic Evaluation and Blood Testing.

It’s not rocket science or magic – its attention to detail.


Yearling Inspection in progress with Tim Roberts


Dr. Roberts, having been a racing surgeon for many years in South Africa, developed a keener understanding of the relationship between form and function.

That is: “What conformational defects increase the likelihood of a breakdown injury and what conformational defects have little impact?”

However, the one issue that is never questioned is X-rays. Dr. Roberts has continued to stress the importance of X-rays upon Team Dynamic for more than 15 years.

Dynamic Syndications understands and embraces Dr. Roberts Golden Rule: “IF IN DOUBT – RULE IT OUT”.

X-ray issues are never good. They usually require surgery to address the issue (if that is possible) but most certainly, it multiplies the risk of breakdown significantly and / or time lost from racetrack training through recuperation.

You would never buy a house without getting a building and pest report done – so why would you ever buy a horse without obtaining an X-ray report and the other reports available?

We are guided by a philosophy that Racehorse Trainer’s can break down 100% sound horses – so they certainly don’t need to start off with a problem !

As humans, we are not blessed with X-ray vision, so without the assistance of an experienced veterinarian reading the X-rays, buyers of horses who do not get the X-rays checked are playing Russian roulette.

Sadly we see at every sale – Horses with significant X-ray issues that are considered High Risk, are purchased, often for large sums, with little chance of being a racing prospect as the skeletal structures simply won’t be able to stand up to the rigours of training.

We have identified over the years that 8% (1 in 12.5 or 8 in every 100) of the horses we like on physical inspection, fail their X-ray inspections. That risk is far too high.

If there were no abnormalities present on X-ray (i.e. low risk), then Dr. Roberts will pass that yearling and it is approved for purchase.

Should we be successful and buy the horse in the Salering, each yearling is allowed to be examined immediately by endoscopic evaluation, to check its throat function and wind flow. Horses found with any significant issues here, the sale rules allow the buyer to cancel the sale. The same process with blood testing – any prohibited substances and the sale may be cancelled by the purchaser.

Dynamic Syndications as part of our Due Diligence reporting and Quality Assurance, will always supply a copy of our Veterinary Certificate for each horse on the webpage. We also attach this report as an annexure to our Product Disclosure Statement.

During the racing career of the horse, should any training or racing issues develop with the horse, we use Dr. Roberts as our independent consulting veterinarian, to act in conjunction with the stables own veterinarians, as Dynamic Syndications own expert.

Tim is on call for Team Dynamic should ever any need arise.



THE PROCESS:

* All yearlings that Dean identifies as possible purchases MUST pass a detailed physical examination by Dr ROBERTS.

* We re-inspect our selections with Dr. ROBERTS to discuss each horse on its merits.

* If a yearling passes this physical examination then at that point, Dr ROBERTS is engaged to:
   (1) Review the Video Endoscopic Evaluation in the repository - if that is acceptable then -
   (2) Inspect a full set of 42 x-rays held in the sale repository.

* If the yearling passes these inspections, which is only done by the fact that there were no abnormalities present of any significance (low risk) on any of the x-ray films, and the videoscope was considered Grade 1 = no issue, then the yearling is approved by Dr. ROBERTS to Dynamic for purchase.

* After being purchased, each yearling is allowed to then be examined at the sale by an endoscope to check its throat function and windflow capabilities. Even if we have checked the videoscope in the first instance, we still check post-sale to ensure no issues have developed in the interim.

* After being purchased, each yearling is also "blood tested" to ensure that there was no "prohibited substances present" as defined under the Australian Rules of Racing.


Photo of the endoscopic evaluation showing correct working of the upper airway.

* We advise Dr. ROBERTS of our salering successful purchases and he will then review the scoping on our behalf. If a horse is found to have an issue, the sale is void and the horse is returned immediately to the vendor.

* Then Dr. ROBERTS at the end of each sale, writes a Veterinary Certificate for inclusion with our Product Disclosure Statement for submission to Racing NSW or Racing Victoria as ASIC Lead Regulators, prior to the horse being allowed to be promoted to the public.

This confirms:


* Time, Date and Place of Inspection
* Confirmation that the horse has passed Physical Inspection
* Confirmation that the horse has passed Stethoscope Evaluation
* Confirmation that the horse has passed X-ray Inspections
* Confirmation that the horse has passed Endoscopic Evaluation
* Confirmation that the horse was recommended by Dr ROBERTS as a suitable candidate
   for both purchase and for insurance
* Disclaimer ensuring clients are aware there is no potential for conflict of interests that
   Dr ROBERTS has no financial involvement with the horse, the promotion of the horse
   or with the Dynamic Syndications business.
