 SAVABEEL / ABOUT TOWN Brown Yearling Colt   

Important Disclaimer :

To ALL Potential Investors

The following information being supplied about the sire of our colt – racetrack superstar SAVABEEL comes from an intimate knowledge of the horse.

Dean Watt, Managing Director of Dynamic Syndications syndicated SAVABEEL as a yearling in 2003. SAVABEEL went on to become Champion 3yo and in the process defeated the older horses in the W. S. Cox Plate.

Therefore, as you can imagine, we doubt any other person would have such an intimate knowledge of the horse.  From yearling to racetrack star, to Champion 3yo, to stallion – and now - to his progeny as yearlings – Dean Watt has been associated with SAVABEEL all the way.

It’s now our turn to pick the fruit of the Savabeel’s labour.

From the beginning SAVABEEL was always going to be a superstar. Now the wraps are equally huge on his progeny and hopefully a dynasty will emerge as everyone eagerly await their racetrack debuts.

Dean Watt and Dynamic Syndications contracted veterinarian Tim Roberts (who also assisted in purchasing Savabeel as a yearling in 2003) along with our trainer John Hawkes teamed up to identify and purchase the very best sons of Savabeel on offer at the Karaka yearling sales.

As a team we identified 3 outstanding individuals and purchased all 3.

Dynamic Syndications are now proud to offer these outstanding young horses to you and we hope you consider them as equally special as we do.

We invite you to review this webpage and consider racing with us. We have done the work – it’s up to our clients to benefit along with us.

Imagine telling your family and friends you own the elite !

Imagine telling your family and friends you own the ultimate thoroughbred  !

That’s exactly what the 10 partners in this stunning colt will be able to say to their family and friends when they own a share in this magnificent individual.  

  

 

Why buy Kiwi ? It’s Time to invest in NZ Bloodstock   

New Zealand thoroughbreds are a unique commodity. They are renowned for the way they have been carefully raised in a magnificent natural environment that Australian breeders are envious of. They are in the high majority of circumstances, very sound horses that succeed throughout the ranks of international competition year after year. They combine the best of international bloodlines with the proven abilities of Australasia’s most successful families.

Whilst the NZ breeding style doesn’t result in fabulous success for their sprinters and precocious horse, there is no doubt Kiwi’s reign supreme at producing 3yo and older horses at middle distance and staying events (1600m + ).

Recent Kiwi stars have included El Segundo, Seachange, and Vengeance of Rain following in the footsteps of hero horses like Starcraft, Ethereal, Might & Power and Sunline.

The previous racing season alone, NZ produced 8 individual derby winners around the world including 5 in Australia plus Hong Long Singapore and Macau. These were : Efficient (VRC Derby), Fiumicino (AJC Derby), Guyno (WATC West Australian Derby), Currigee (TRC Tasmanian Derby), Empire’s Choice (QTC Queensland Derby), Vital King ( HKJC Hong Kong Derby, Ka Lam Fortune (Macau Derby), Lim’s Prestige (Singapore Derby).

Specifically in Australia, last year NZ horses spearheaded by El Segundo, accounted for only 6% of runners in Australia, yet that small population won 14% of our Black Type races. Amongst these were 8 Group 1 winners – Efficient, El Segundo, Empires Choice, Eskimo Queen, Fiumicino, Gallic, Guyno and Sphenophyta.

Other stakes horses included Antartic Miss, Coalesce, Diamond Deck, Falsetto, Gibraltar Campion, Gorky Park, Growl, J’Adane, Guillotine, Maldivian, Master O’Reilly, Lad of the Manor, Oins on Parade, Primus, Railings, Respect, Royal Asscher, Seachange, Splashing Out, Storm Signal and more.

About Our Trainer – JOHN HAWKES

John Hawkes officially ended his tenure at Crown Lodge in mid-November and commenced his own Racing Stables on 17 November. John boasts a formidable record of training 91 Group 1 winners for the Ingham family-owned operation, winners of 3,760 races and more than $165million in prizemoney.

 
John Hawkes , Dean Watt , Wayne Hawkes are Good Mates on and off the track

John Hawkes has won 9 Sydney Premierships and 3 Brisbane Premierships.

In 2000-01 racing season John Hawkes set a new Commonwealth training record of 334 winners and he has won over 500 Black Type races.

John Hawkes and his sons the very competent horsemen Wayne and Michael launched on 17 November a new two-state operation known as Hawkes Racing. Plans are to within 6 months have 50 boxes at Rosehill and 40 boxes at Flemington.

There is little doubt that the secret of John’s continued success is the close relation he has with his boys. His boys ran the Ingham stables in Melbourne and Brisbane whilst John ran Sydney. It’s a family affair and they are a very close and supporting family.

As with everybody else in the thoroughbred industry, the dreaded EI resulted in a go slow for the Hawkes team as they allowed their horses an extended recovery period.

John was reported in a recent newspaper article that he had absolutely no regrets just a lot of great memories of his days at Crown Lodge where he applied his skills to produce so many victories.

John fondly recalls the best horses he has trained to date were Octagonal and Lonhro.

We are all hoping a Dynamic Syndications horse will join these elite Champions in the near future. Who knows ? It could well be this horse we refer to on this page !

Wayne Dean & John with one of their yearlings purchased at Karaka 2008
 

We have had some terrific results already with John and Dynamic having horses like Grand Cause, Eight Moons and Priceless Lad all performing with merit on the racetrack.

John has a steady supply of Dynamic Syndications horses on his books with a minimum of 20 on his books at anytime. With such limited box space available, Dynamic Syndications is honoured to have such a large input into his box numbers.

His Conformation

This individual passed veterinary Dr. Tim Roberts inspection and also passed X-Ray inspection and Endoscopic inspection.

He was considered by John Hawkes, Wayne Hakes, Dr. Tim Roberts and Dean Watt as an outstanding individual and was placed in the top 3 colts by the sire at the saleyard. He was considered a “Must Have” individual.

It’s easy to rattle off the superlatives about this individual. Simply he’s magic. Look for yourself. It’s easy to see why (even for the untrained eye) the quality this individual exhibits.

 Based on the successful cross

ZABEEL over DANZIG line mares

This cross has produced :
9 Stakes Winners inc 4 GROUP 1 Winners

A PROVEN NICK : 

NICK = SUCCESS

ZABEEL (son of Sir Tristram) has coved DANZIG line mares for 34 foals to race for 30 prizemoney earners :

His Genetics – He’s Bred to a Proven NICK

Genetically – he’s bred to be outstanding. When we went to the sales we were looking first and foremost for the individual. He had to be an equine athlete. It’s an incredible set of coincidence until you analyse the statistics and then the old proverb rings true again - “The apple doesn’t roll far from the tree”.

Fact : All 3 Savabeel colts we purchased (son of Zabeel) are from a Danzig sireline broodmare.

The significance of this is immense. It’s a statistical fact that to date ZABEEL has produced 9 Stakes Winners with this cross. Database research shows that ZABEEL has produced 34 progeny to race out of Danzig line broodmares. Incredibly 30 have won prizemoney – 9 are Stakes Winners – 4 of these are Group 1 winners – 2 of these were trained by JOHN HAWKES. They were Fuimicino & Dizelle. Zabeel’s other Stakes Winners bred on this cross are : Vengeance of Rain G1, Maldivian G1, Lafleur G2, Matras G3, Zingam G3, Zacroona G3, Dossier LR.

 
DIZELLE - Trained by JOHN HAWKES
 
 
FIUMICINO  - Trained by John Hawkes

MATRAS
 
 
ZINGAM
 

So, it makes sense to keep drilling where oil has been found. Especially when the trainer has such an affinity with horses produced on this nick.

Secondly, we do not consider it a “fluke” that the best 3 types at the sale were bred on this nick. There is an obvious affinity with success here and you do not get stakes winners from weak types. Horses must be strong and correct to withstand the rigours of racing. This cross of Zabeel over Danzig sireline broodmares is a proven recipe to produce strong attractive types that race at elite levels.

His Pedigree

SAVABEEL – His Story

 

SAVABEEL in Brief :

 
Winning the 2004 W.S.Cox Plate
 
 

Cox Plate victor and Australia’s highest rated 3yo. He is an exciting first crop sire.

 Sire = Zabeel  /  Dam = Savannah Success

The immaculately bred Savabeel became just the second 3yo in the last 20 years to win the W.S. Cox Plate.

Subsequently, Savabeel was the highest IFHA rated 3yo in Australia in 2004/05, rating in front of horses such as Fastnet Rock, Charge Forward and Alinghi. He was also credited with the Group 1 AJC Spring Champion Stakes (2000m), retiring with earnings of $2,760,460.

His dam Savannah Success achieved Group 1 glory in both the NZ Oaks and the Ansett Australia Stakes (now Coolmore Classic). She was crowned New Zealand Bloodstock Filly of the Year.

SAVABEEL Brown Entire 16.1hh (Zabeel / Savannah Success)

Winning the  AJC Spring Champion Stakes Gr 1
 
The Walk of Champions
 
Spoils of Victory

The spring of 2004 saw the outstanding colt Savabeel (Zabeel ex Savannah Success, by Success Express) dominate the race track with first - a win over his own age group in the Spring Champion Stakes (Group I) at Randwick and then - a stunning victory in the weight-for-age W. S. Cox Plate (Group I) at Moonee Valley, over the older horses.

Savabeel won Australasia’s greatest race, the classic weight-for-age race of the Australasian spring by 1L proving his class over a field of proven Group I performers.

Defeating a field consisting of 10 individual Group 1 winners, it was a dominating effort by the young colt who went onto run a gallant second in the VRC Victoria Derby Group 1 at Flemington a week later.

The only three-year-olds in the last 20 years to succeed in winning the testing 2040m of the WFA Championship event have been Zabeel’s champion of 1996 Octagonal, and now in 2004 Savabeel.

The History of SAVABEEL

From the very beginning the team around SAVABEEL had a driving belief that the stunning dark brown (almost black) colt catalogued as Lot 130 at the Magic Millions Sales of 2003, had an aura about him that could deliver greatness.

 SAVABEEL - As a Yearling at the Magic Millions Sales in 2003

Whether it was his stunning looks, his ideal conformation, they way he walked or even the way he stood and looked at you - there was something special in the colt.

Having been expertly raised on the superb pastures of Baramul Stud and being presented at the sale yards in immaculate condition, this was the colt they we had to take home.

The colts dam Savannah Success was a most gifted filly and we were adamant she could produce a superstar. Savannah Success’s race form backed up our opinion. Savannah Success was a race filly that won 8 races (6 in a row) from 1100m to 2400m. Included in her triumphs were two Group 1 victories at 1500m and 2400m, two Group 2 victories, a Group 3 victory and two Listed Races to her credit.

After a hotly contested bidding war in the ring, the hammer came down on a bid at $400,000.

Within 48 hours Dean Watt had syndicated the colt around the Rogerson stables in Sydney. Sold mostly to Dean’s loyal client who backed Dean’s judgement in what we saw in the colt. A private syndicate of 5 was created to race the stunning colt which they named SAVABEEL.

From the time the breakers completed their task, the buzz on the colt was terrific.

I believed that the colt was a precocious individual on type with the genetics in the pedigree to back up his awesome conformation. Also we have belief in Sir Patrick Hogan of Cambridge Stud’s theory on Zabeel progeny – That is “despite being at their best as a 3yo and 4yo, Zabeel’s stock needed to work along as 2yo’s.”

SAVABEEL’S 2yo Career

So with this in mind the colt went into work with the view of taking him to the first set of 2yo trials of the season at Canterbury.

He lined up in heat 4 and ran a gallant second over 850m in the fastest time of the morning. At the time, we commented that “the horse that won the heat must have been special to beat Savabeel” We didn’t know it then but that colt turned out to be Dance Hero !

Savabeel was sent for a spell and then commenced his racing career on Valentine’s Day 14 February 2004 at Saturday meeting at Randwick over 1000m.

The colt got back to last in the field but stormed home to win by an authoritive 4.5 lengths eased up.

Savabeel finished his 2yo season running a gallant 3rd to Dance Hero and Wager in the Group 1 AJC Champagne Stakes over 1600m.

SAVABEEL’S 3yo Career

Spring 2004

Savabeel showed his true class and what an exciting prospect he was when he resumed running 4th in the Group 2 San Domenico Stakes at Randwick over 1000m. That race turned out to be one of the highlights of the early spring when, in a driving finish, Charge Forward just defeated Fastnet Rock and a close up Dance Hero ran 3rd.

At his next start he was the most unlucky runner of the race, when he ran a very close up 5th in the STC $1m Golden Rose Stakes 1400m. Savabeel got back to second last in the big field but started to surge home in the closing stages but was badly held up for a run and had no luck trying to get a clear passage.

At his third start, Savabeel stepped out in the Group 2 Gloaming Stakes over 1800m. Again getting back to the tail of the field he unleashed a powerful finish to run a gallant 2nd to Al Maher but easily accounted for Outback Prince and Cedar Manor.

His fourth start he was at his peak leading into the Group 1 AJC Spring Champion Stakes 2000m. In this event he was able to travel a lot closer to the speed and powered away in the straight to score a decisive victory over Outback Prince, Cedar Manor and turned the tables on Al Maher who ran 4th.

Then took the horse to Melbourne for the Cup Carnival.

However we had a dilemma on our hands – which way did we go to get up to the Derby distance – race in either the Cox Plate or the Norman Robinson.

The owners and trainer had an unyielding faith that the colt was the best in the country at the distance and would be a definite threat in the Cox Plate.

So, at his 5th start he lined up in the $3m Group 1 MVRC W.S. Cox Plate WFA 2040m. The rest is history. Jumping well, he was taken forward to sit 3rd in the fast tempo race. Approaching the home turn Savabeel kicked clear to win comfortably and write his name in history’s record books. Savabeel destroyed the best in the Southern Hemisphere including Fields of Omagh, Starcraft and Grand Armee.

This was only the second 3yo colt in 20 years to have won Australasia’s most prestigious race. Savabeel joined Octagonal (also a colt by Zabeel) in equine immortality.

Such was his fame there was even a song written and performed about the 3yo star.

Finally, at his 6th start and closing race for this preparation, the colt lined up seven days later in the Group 1 VRC Derby over 2500m. He ran a fabulous race to run 2nd but since he was backing up in 7 days from the tough Cox Plate run he found the unrealistically quick tempo of the race just beyond his limits of endurance.

Autumn 2005.

Big things were expected from this spring superstar. Racing had its latest hero.

Savabeel resumed at Caulfield in the Group 1 C.F.Orr Stakes 1400m. The race proved to be an exciting affair as Savabeel once again got too far back and was then checked and was forced very wide on the turn. Spotting the eventual winner Elvstroem a 3 lengths head start he ran flew home to only be beaten a head. He defeated Lad Of The Manor and Regal Roller.

Having been invited to race in Hong Kong he was inoculated the day after the race. That would become a defining moment. Savabeel had a allergic reaction to the injection and became very ill. He raced a few more times but the illness took its toll and the choice was a 4 month spell or retirement.

The horse was sold to Waikato Stud in a deal valuing the horse at $10 million. He covered his first book of mares in 2005 covering 120 mares at $35,000 NZD.

The boom has been on Savabeel’s progeny since they hit the ground. His progeny are strong with excellent muscle culture. He is imparting good bone into his stock and we have scene many excellent individual by him to date. If they can run half as good as they look we are in for some exciting racetrack victories.

This is Savabeel’s first crop of yearling being sold in 2008. At the NZ Premier Yearling Sale where Dynamic Syndications purchased 3 outstanding types by the sire, his progeny averaged $141,185 (4 x service fee) selling up to $300,000.

STUD RECORD

 

Savabeel commenced stud duties in New Zealand in 2005. Waikato Stud’s support of over 20 WS blueblood mares assures his progeny’s placement in premier sales and within top racing stables.

Mares who have produced quality foals by Savabeel inc River Century (dam of Group One winners Legs & Guyno), Dare To Win (Pin Up Boy), Gio (Singapore G1 winner Arenti, Crepe De Chine), Jelignite Jen (Singing Star), Nicole’s Niner (Singapore Horse of the Year Big Easy), Sound Lover (Philosophe, Cheeky, Men At Work), G1 winners Honor Lap, Tall Poppy, dual Australian G2 winner Ugachaka, O’Really (half sister to

 

About SAVABEEL’S Sire

ZABEEL Trained by Colin Hayes, Zabeel competed with distinction in Australia for Sheikh Hamdan. He won once from three starts at two, then he showed his true classic form at three. He captured the VRC Australian Guineas (Group I, 1600m), then added further lustre to his record by defeating Dr Grace (also by Sir Tristram) and Golden Slipper winner Courtza in the Moonee Valley Stakes (Group II, 1600m). Zabeel then carried his class to 2000m the distance at which he defeated VRC Derby hero Stylish Century in the MVRC Alister Clark Stakes (Group II).

Further Group success came with his win in the Craiglee Stakes (Group II) as a four-year-old, and Zabeel was retired with a record of 7 victories and 5 placings from 19 starts. His earnings, when he retired during the 1990-91 season, stood at $A1,138,400.

Zabeel 17 times Champion Sire

Sire of 720 winners and 111 Stakes Winners including 37 individual Group 1 winners making him the greatest stallion to stand at stud in New Zealand since his own great sire, Sir Tristram.  The most recent of those is the 2007 Melbourne Cup winner, Efficient (Refused the Dance (Defensive Play).

Zabeel assumed the mantle of New Zealand's flagship stallion from his own legendary sire, Sir Tristram who died in May 1997. That was just after Zabeel won the first of his eleven Dewar Stallion Trophy awards (in 1995-96), and just before he claimed his first general sire premierships in Australia & New Zealand (1997-98). In all, Zabeel has now won 17 Australasian sire premierships.

The important role he's played in maintaining New Zealand's profile in Australia during the past decade cannot be over-stated. He's appeared in the top ten Australian sires (by progeny earnings) every season since 1996, heading the list twice, and has only once slipped out of the top five, in 2003. Zabeel has been alone among active New Zealand-based sires in the latter group for all but two of those eleven seasons.

Excluding his crop of just-turned two-year-olds, Zabeel has now sired 111 stakeswinners (8.5%) from 1214 foals, a remarkable figure across 12 crops. That total includes 37 Group One winners, among them Australian Horses of the Year MIGHT AND POWER (1998 & 1999), and OCTAGONAL (1996). His New Zealand AEI figure for last season was better than 2.0, meaning that on average Zabeel’s progeny earned more than twice the average available funds per runner. Zabeel’s status as a top ten sire in Australia is confirmed by the ABR's recently introduced APEX ratings tables. He’s fourth on the list by “A” rating with a figure of 4.45, and seventh on the “ABC” rating list, with 2.66.

The final challenge for Zabeel, now twenty years old, is to establish his own stallion dynasty. This is taking longer than it might have, because most of his best racing sons from his early crops were geldings. (And what a line-up they were: Might And Power, Sky Heights, Zonda, Hades, Dignity Dancer, Bezeal Bay, Cronus and company).

The exceptions were Eight Carat’s sons, the brilliant but infertile Mouawad, and the champion Octagonal who, despite leaving his own champion son in Lonhro, has not fulfilled his promise with 17 stakeswinners (2%) from 857 foals to date. However, it’s too soon to dismiss the possibility of a Zabeel sire-line, because he’s had four Group One-winning sons begin stud careers in the past three years: Don Eduardo, Savabeel and St Reims in New Zealand, and Reset in Australia. His other New Zealand-based sire sons are Colombia, I Conquer and Sunray.

“A thoroughly reliable source of classic performance in Australasia” is Byron Rogers’ recent verdict on Zabeel. At first reading it seems insufficient praise for a horse that has won 17 official stallion premierships, left two Australian Horses of the Year, generated yearling sale receipts of $144 million since 1995 and has nine yearlings in the million-dollar-plus club. The test is how many other stallions qualify for that description. The answer, fifteen years after Zabeel began stud duties at Cambridge Stud, is “hardly any.”

ZABEEL's sons at stud include

SAVABEEL Stud 2005 First Crop Sire covered 125 mares at $35,000

DON EDUARDO Stud 2003 Covered 111 mares at $14,000

RESET  Stud 2004 Covered 145 mares at $30,000

OCTAGONAL entered stud in Australia in 1997 and in France in 1998. He is the sire of 450 progeny to race, 227 winners (50.4%), earnings of $19.5million - 14 stakes winners, 18 stakes placegetters, inc –

SIR TRISTRAM (Sire of Zabeel and Grandsire of Savabeel)

      

Sir Tristram kept the record-keepers busy from the time his oldest runners were three-year-olds, stamping himself one of the world's best stallions in the process. Today the dynasty he founded adds new Group winners at every major racing carnival in Australasia, his achievements still the standard by which each new sire is measured.

45 Group One winners; a total of 127 Group and Listed Stakes winners; in all, more than 220 black type performers, almost one quarter of all his runners. Today Sir Tristram's progeny earnings total close to $A50 million.

That total makes Sir Tristram the world's second leading sire of Group One winners: only in arrears of Sadler's Wells and ahead of Mr Prospector, ahead of Nijinsky II, ahead of Danzig and ahead of Northern Dancer.

He sired outstanding two-year olds Grosvenor, Isolda, Kaapstad, Our Tristalight, Tristalove and the 1987 Golden Slipper winner Marauding.

VETERINARY REPORT :

“Our Due Diligence is your Quality Assurance”

This yearling passed a complex physical veterinary inspection

by our contracted veterinarian

Dr TIM ROBERTS.

Dr TIM ROBERTS

Dr Roberts has been working closely with Dean Watt as Dean’s contracted veterinarian at yearling sales and stable work for the past 10 years. Both Tim and Dean have an excellent working relationship which has resulted in the high rate of success on the racetrack.

Tim , Dean and Adam (The Apprentice) inspecting a yearling's "Action"
as it is being paraded at the sales.

Tim has been an instrumental factor in Dean’s success.

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

All yearlings that Dean identifies as possible purchases MUST pass a detailed physical examination by Dr Roberts. If a yearling passes this examination then Dr Roberts and his equine practice partner Dr Brett Warren inspect a full set of 42 x-rays. If the yearling passes this inspection and the vets concur that there were no abnormalities present on x-ray then the yearling is approved for purchase. After being purchased, each yearling is allowed to be examined at the sale by endoscope to check its windflow. Our yearling was examined endoscopically and was found to normal in appearance and function.

Dr Brett Warren - Dr Tim Roberts partner in the
Equine Endoscopy Service veterinary practice.

What is the Share Price & ..... What will be the Ongoing Holding Costs?
The SHARE PRICE is the advertised upfront cost to purchase your ownership share (inclusive of GST) and includes the Fall Of Hammer Price and ALL COSTS specified as declared in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) to the pre-determined maturity date (normally 6 months from date of purchase).

After the maturity date, then the ongoing Training and Holding Costs will begin.

ONGOING COSTS: Every trainer is different i.e. Metropolitan / Provincial / Country and in the way they account to owners.

Below we have taken many of these variables into consideration to give an up to date assessment as what owners should budget:

For any 5% Share over a 12 month period, on a Worse Case basis
(All Costs & Fees included but with no prizemoney earned) -

Estimate only of total fees and expenses of maintaining, spelling, training and racing the Horse, excluding: race entry fees for group races, and the cost of any extraordinary (non-routine) veterinary and other treatments, including surgery

Owners should budget for any horse trained by a Premiership Leading Trainer at a Sydney or Melbourne Metropolitan Racetrack an average of:
$10.00 + GST = $11.00 per day > ($70.00 + GST = $77.00 per week) >

($305 + GST = $335 per month) > ($3,653 + GST = $4,018 per annum)


to have a horse trained by a Non-Premiership Leading but Top 20 Trainer at a Sydney or Melbourne Metropolitan Racetrack an average of:

$8.20 + GST = $9.02 per day > ($58.00 + GST = $63.80 per week) >

($250 + GST = $275 per month) > ($3,000 + GST = $3,300 per annum)



to have a horse trained by a Provincial Trainer at a NSW or Victorian Racetrack an average of:

$7.53 + GST = $8.28 per day > ($52.80 + GST = $58.08 per week) >

($230 + GST = $253 per month) > ($2,750 + GST = $3,025 per annum)

 

Should a client purchase a larger equity percentage then the costs are simply multiplied pro-rata.

These budgeted costs make no allowance for any prizemoney to be won and with prizemoney at record levels, racing has never been more affordable and profitable.
How was the share price calculated ?
MYTH BUSTER: The Syndication Industry is regularly accused by those uneducated to the processes of the racing industry, of making a significant “MARK UP” from the raw Fall Of Hammer Price (which does not include GST) at the sales, to the final Syndication Sale price.

From Dynamic Syndications position, we totally reject any such: false - dishonest - inaccurate - ill informed commentaries.

FACT: 
Dynamic Syndications are committed to FULL DISCLOSURE - TRANSPARENCY & INTEGRITY

All shares Dynamic Syndications offer for sale to the public reflect the Purchase Price + ALL COSTS  + GST out to a Forward Date of approximately 6 months.

The syndication sector of the racing industry, as required under the Corporations Act and Australian Financial Services License compliance, is the most "transparent of any industry in the Southern Hemisphere."

For each individual promotion, all costs are FULLY DISCLOSED (including our profit margin) and are attached as an annexure to the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).

AUCTION PRICE:
Fall of Hammer Price paid in the Auction Ring - Then GST must be added 

DYNAMIC SYNDICATIONS PROFIT MARGIN

Our Profit Margin is determined by a Set Calculation Template.

On Average it is 7.73% of the Final Share Price

Our Gross Profit upon EVERY Promotion we offer is calculated at a SET FEE of 12.5% of the Fall of Hammer Price e.g. If a horse is sold for $100,000 we charge $12,500 + GST for the promotion; e.g. $60,000 = $7,500 + GST; or $120,000 = $15,000 + GST; etc., etc., etc.

Therefore on the financial model above, should Dynamic Syndications purchase a horse for $100,000 in the salering, we add our set Profit Margin fee of $12,500 = $112,500 + $11,250 GST = $123,750 divided by 20 shares = $6,187.50 (inclusive of GST) per 5% Share.

Breakdown: Cost of Share $5,000 + Dynamic Syndications Profit  $625 +  GST $562.50 = $6,187.50

From this position, simply ALL COSTS incurred in the process from the selection of the horse out to the set forward date are added together and divided by 20 shares and a fixed price is determined which becomes the SYNDICATION PRICE.

These costs incurred are ALWAYS FULLY DISCLOSED in the Cost Annexure attached to the PDS. Costs incurred are per the schedule below:

NOTE: Under an Australian Financial Services License, the maximum promotion allowed to be offered to the public from any Syndication Company is $500,000 including GST.

However under our own internal structure, the maximum price we pay for any horse in any sale ring is capped at $190,000.

Therefore $190,000 x 12.5% = $23,750 divided by 20 shares = $1,187.50 + GST

Therefore the  MAXIMUM GROSS PROFIT potentially available to Dynamic Syndications upon any 5% Share is $1,187.50

Therefore to determine the net percentage profit on a sale of a 5% share is:

Set 12.5% Profit Margin Fee divided by Share Price, multiplied by 100

This equals just 7.73% of the Promotion Price.


SALE ~ VETERINARY COSTS: Veterinary work at sale complex by our contracted veterinarians, includes: Physical inspections on all potential lots and X-rays, apportioned across the number of yearlings purchased at the sale for syndication + Endoscopic evaluation post-sale to ensure the horse’s airflow is of normal function + Blood testing post-sale for any Anabolic Androgenic Steroids on each lot purchased.

Inspection of your horse (Visiting the Stables & Spelling Farm)
As an owner you are always welcome to visit the stable or spelling farm with your family and friends to view your horse at a convenient time for both you and the stable or spelling farm. A simple telephone call to our office to arrange a suitable time would be required to organise an acceptable time.
How do I know if the horse I am interested in purchasing a share in is physically ok?
Our company supplies a detailed independent veterinary report on each individual horse we offer to the public.

Each promotion we offer to the public includes has a current veterinary certificate (within 30 days) of lodgement of the documents with the Lead Regulator for Approval of the Promotion.

Further, within the PDS we declare that should any event change the health or well-being (injury or illness) of the horse prior to the registration of the scheme with the Lead Regulator, the risk remains with the Dynamic Syndications as the promoter and the purchaser / investor shall have a full refund of their share application price paid into the trust account.

This veterinary report will always include a review of the horse's:

* Physical conformation and size,
* A review of the Full Set of 36 X-rays,
* A Post-Sale Endoscopic Evaluation and
* A blood test checking against the use of Anabolic Steroids or Agents in the preparation of the yearling for the sales.
Why do some syndicators offer shares without an x-ray report but most do? Are x-rays important?
Firstly, Dynamic Syndications only purchase horses for syndication that have been passed by our veterinarian as suitable for purchase with no significant findings noted on any of the 36 X-rays which are read.

X-ray reports are available on 99.99% of quality yearlings offered for sale at major sales.

They are a valuable tool available to be used to determine the suitability of a yearling as a candidate for purchase.

The average cost to having a set of X-rays is only $165.

It is a Due Diligence / Quality Assurance issue. As a promoter of shares to the public, we would never promote a horse with any issues that are likely to inhibit the racing career of a horse. Whilst there is always an exception to the rule and a small number of horses may race successfully where major defects are visible on X-ray’s, there is a golden rule – If in Doubt – Rule it out!

Would you buy a house without a building and pest report? Well it’s the same principal. Some horses are the price of houses and at every sale inexperienced / amateur buyers, irresponsible participants, unscrupulous dealers, lazy or unfinancial trainers and a host of others step forward and buy horses that on X-ray have issues that are highly likely to prevent the horse making a successful racehorse. Then those horses are on-sold to the unsuspecting public. Lot’s of money is exchanged on a horse that has little to no hope making the grade.

We know trainers can break down sound horses – They don’t need to start with a problem. So why risk it?

As the saying goes: If it sounds to good to be true – It is ! Quality horses cost a lot to buy. There are a lot of professional buyers at the sales who are experienced horsemen and women. However none have X-ray vision. If a well bred, well conformed athletic horse with a commercial pedigree can be purchased well below market value, then as a potential investor serious questions and hesitation should apply.

There will always be salering bargains, however overall they are hard to find. Smart operators and professional syndicators know the marketplace values.

As a potential buyer of a share in any horse, read the veterinarian report and be satisfied the horse had X-rays available and they were read at the sale and the horse passed suitable for purchase,

Always be careful. If there are no X-rays available – ask why? Has someone got something to hide?

Even if  X-rays were not available from the vendor at the yearling sale, the promoter should themselves arrange to have a set of X-rays taken to ensure potential investors are not disadvantaged. That's due diligence.

Comment: Always compare and ensure what you are actually getting for your money – do your homework and you will enjoy the experience of racehorse ownership.
Insurance
Promoters are not considered insurance agents under the Act. Our Share Price includes insurance from the fall of the hammer for a finite period. In most circumstances, that date is through to 1st November in the year of purchase of the yearling.

On this date, each shareholder may individually choose to re-insure their share at their own expense should they wish to do so.

Owners are under no obligation to re-insure. Some owners decide to re-insure, some owners choose not to re-insure. It is a matter of personal preference.

Dynamic Syndications always recommend that our owners consider their personal position and if appropriate, we do recommend that clients re-insure.

Owners should budget approximately 4% of the insured value as the anticipated annual premium. For example, if the insured value of your 5% share was $8,000 then the premium would be approximately $320.00.

The promoter does not act as an insurance agent but is able to put individual shareholders in contact with insurance providers.

On behalf of our owners, if requested we will complete and forward all necessary documentation to the relevant insurance provider.

Dynamic Syndications Managing Director has had business dealings with LOGAN LIVESTOCK INSURANCE since 1986. At our request, Logan's will contact each owner directly to determine your preferences. Owners are under no obligation to use the recommended insurance provider.

Clients are free to use the insurance provider of their choice.

A


Acceptor:
A horse that has been declared by the owner or trainer to run in a race.

Age of Horse: Race horses all celebrate their birthdays on the same day. This makes it easier to keep track of breeding and records.
In the southern hemisphere (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore) horses celebrate their birthday on the 1st of August each year.
In the northern hemisphere (United Kingdom, Ireland, France, USA and Canada) horses celebrate their birthday on the 1st of January each year.

Anterior: Towards the front.

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

Apprentice Claim: Weight concession to an apprentice rider.

Bay: A horse colour that varies from a yellow-tan to a bright auburn. The mane, tail and lower portion of the legs are always black, except where white markings are present.

Benchmark: Under this system the weight a horse carries at its next start is determined immediately after its previous race, according to the merit of that run. Each Benchmark point equals half a kilogram.

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.

Am I joining a partnership or syndicate? ..... What is the difference?
The most common forms of ownership of thoroughbred racehorses are: Co-ownership or Partnership, (often referred to as a "Syndicate" of owners).

Legal advice is now advocating “Co-ownership” of racehorses as distinct from a racing “Partnership” as the preferred ownership structure where there are multiple shareholders (ownership arrangements) of horses.  The main reasons for this advice is the “joint and several” liability associated with racing partnerships which do not affect “co-ownerships” and also various tax advantages associated with co-ownership over a partnership.

Therefore Dynamic Syndications only promote 20 share “Co-ownership” horses.

Why 20 Shares ?

Under the Australian Rules of Racing the industry allows up to 20 shares in a racehorse.

As of 1st January 2017, ASIC has allowed an exemption where you may now have up to a maximum 50 participants (owners) who between them, own these 20 shares in any publicly promoted horse.

Therefore co-ownership is no longer restricted to one owner per 5% share. Two (2) or more people many join together to purchase a 5% share between them in a syndicate arrangement.

The obligation is on the promoter to ensure that at all times, the total promotion of 20 shares does not exceed a total of 50 people.


What is Co-ownership?


This term is used to describe the legal relationship between various multiple shareholders who each own an equity proportion of the horse.  Where the relationship between the various multiple owners is one of co-ownership, each co-owner (shareholder) will be entitled to receive directly their proportion of the net prizemoney (if any) won by the horse and will also be liable for their proportion of costs associated with maintaining and racing the horse.  Under co-ownership, each owner is only liable for their proportion of costs associated with maintaining and racing the horse. Co-owners are not "jointly" and "severally" liable for 100% of the costs should other owners default. The multiple owners’ interests in each horse as per the Racing Syndicate Deed are managed by Dynamic Syndications.

What is a Racing Partnership?

This term is used to describe the legal relation between various persons who collectively agree to form a partnership for the purpose of owning a racing a racehorse. The horse under this arrangement becomes the partnerships property and each owner will be beneficially entitled to their proportion of partnership income earned from racing the horse and will be liable to contribute to the partnership, an amount equivalent to their proportion of costs associated with maintaining and racing the horse.  The horse will always be owned by the partnership and not by the individual owners directly and “all” of the partners will be liable "collectively" for the debts of the partnership. Under the Australian Rules of Racing you may only have between 1-20 OWNERS of a horse. From a legal perspective, you have a Partnership or a Co-ownership. Dynamic Syndications create 20 share Co-ownership agreements.

What is a Racing Syndicate?


Should 2 - 20 people combine to buy one or more share/s in a racehorse, this situation is referred to as a "Racing Syndicate". Whilst all syndicate owners are registered with the Racing Authority, under the Australian Rules of Racing, individual syndicate members with less than a 5% equity shares are not permitted to receive individual OWNER privileges. However for that Racing Syndicate, the Syndicate name appears in the racebook and the Manager of the Syndicate receives the owners entitlement.

At Dynamic Syndications we arrange 20 share CO-OWNERSHIPS which attract FULL OWNERS PRIVILEGES.

We also assist our owners in the creation of syndicates for multiple owners to join together to purchase a share in any of our promotions.





Am I locked into the Share as a Co-Owner?
No.

In any racing partnership created by Dynamic Syndications - you own your 5% share.

It’s not a lease, nor a fixed term contract. It’s a re-saleable asset. In reality, you have title to the share in the horse until it passes away from old age or you sell the share (whichever comes first).

You can offer your share for sale at any stage.

However, for avoidance of any doubt: There will be no ready market for the Shares.

Neither the Syndicate Manager nor the Racing Manager will be obliged to sell a Share on behalf of an Owner.

Each Owner should consider the acquisition of a Share as a long term investment for the life of the Syndicate.


Fluctuations in the value and sale price of Shares should be anticipated.  Factors which will influence both the value and sale price of the Shares include, without limitation, the following:

(a)    the skill and expertise of the individuals engaged to manage, maintain and market the Horse, as well as the manner in which
        these functions are carried out;

(b)    the race performances of the Horse;

(c)    the Horse may die or its value may be diminished as a consequence of accident, injury, contraction of disease or natural cause;

(d)    the level of demand for horses of equivalent calibre both at public auction and by private treaty;

(e)    the level of supply of horses of equivalent calibre both at public auction and by private treaty;

(f)    any change in the current conditions affecting investment in the thoroughbred horse industry, including level of prize money and taxation
        benefits available to breeders;

(g)    changing conditions within the Australian economy generally; and

(h)    the price which buyers at public auction or by private treaty are willing to pay either for the Horse, or Shares in the Horse,
        if offered for sale, may not reflect either the purchase price paid by the Offeror for the Horse or the sale price of the Shares offered
        under this PDS.


If I want out of the horse and can't find a buyer - can I give the share away?

NO (but in reality = YES)

The technical reason behind the NO answer is that there is a liability of debt being incurred on the horse on a daily basis which must be met 100%.

Each shareholder is liable for their share of the expenses.

HOWEVER in 99% of circumstances one of the other co-owners should/would agree to pick up the share.

Under the Racing Syndicate Deed there is a pre-emptive rights clause that ensures current co-owners have first right of refusal so are offered the share through Dynamic Syndications as the Administration Manager to the promotion.

Dynamic Syndications will assist facilitate the disposal of the share wherever possible.



What obligations am I under when I agree to become a Co-Owner in the horse?
You are contractually obligated to meet your percentage share of the expenses incurred by the horse throughout its racing and breeding career, whilst you remain the owner of that share.

During its racing career we estimate a budget  $77.00 per week, (equivalent to  $11.00 per day) over 12 months, on a worse case basis should meet all expenses.
If I want out - how do I get out?  & ..... What will my share be worth?

A SHARE IN A RACEHORSE IS A TRADABLE COMMODITY


However, it should be viewed as if selling a house or car. It may take some time until a buyer can be found. Seldom is a buyer immediately available.

Under Australian Partnership Law, there are various mechanisms in place to dispose of share. In all Dynamic Syndications promoted horses we have a specific Racing Syndicate Deed which explains the process involved.

We require the co-owner wishing to sell their share to contact the Administration Manager (Dynamic Syndications) and then you as the vendor will need to arrange for an independent valuation from one of the thoroughbred Auction Houses. Then under a pre-emptive rights provision, you put the share up for sale to the other partners first.

During this period the seller may also attempt to find a buyer however existing owners and the trainer have a pre-emptive right to the share.

Any new co-owner must agree to the Terms of the PDS and Racing Syndicate Deed before the transaction can proceed.

Basically, co-owners want to sell their share for a couple of main reasons:

(a) Change in personal circumstances – e.g. Financial Hardship (bankruptcy, loss of job, etc.), change of Marital Status, Overseas re-locations, etc. or
(b) The horse is not showing enough promise as a racing prospect.

In part (a) above, if the horse is showing racing promise, it is never difficult to find a buyer from within the existing partnership structure. Should the horse not be showing enough ability then this relocates the situation into clause (b).

The clause (b) situation is unfortunately encountered in horses through injury, illness or lack of ability. They fail to reach their owners dreams. Should this be the case, the Racing Manager and the Administration Manager shall call a meeting or make formal contact with all partners with the view of dissolving the partnership. Should this be decided upon by a vote of the majority, then the preferential way of disposal of a horse is to sell it at a tried horse public auctions which are conducted each quarter at the Magic Millions or William Inglis sale yards.

Also Private Treaty sales may in rare occasions be negotiated.


WHAT WILL MY SHARE BE WORTH ?


Values swing wildly during a horse’s racing and breeding career.

This valuation swing is based around success.

In essence, a share in a horse represents Muscle, Bone and Earning Potential.

As exposed form and / or age take effect, the value will increase or decrease accordingly.

Dynamic Syndications Director and Responsible Officer is a longstanding member of the Bloodstock Agents Federation of Australia.

He will have an accurate assessment to what the horse is worth.

We require co-owners looking to sell their share to obtain an independent market appraisal from either auction house (Magic Millions or William Inglis), prior to offering any share for sale.



Management Fees - Why do I pay them & ..... Do I get Bang for Buck?
Information About Management Fees

Professional Licensed Promoters include Management Fees in the Product Disclosure Statement for the day to day Management of the horse throughout its Racing Career.

Management of a horse by a Promoter is considered important to most if not all investors, as certain Promoters may have extensive experience in the industry.

For example Dynamic Syndications Managing Director has been an active and independent racing industry participant, forging a career as a Bloodstock Agent and Syndicator since 1984.

Investors should consider the monthly management service and fee as detailed in the Product Disclosure Statement (and Racing Syndicate Deed) for the services provided and ask any questions of the Promoter after reading the detailed information set out below:

Investors should note that under the agreement to provide a management service, it’s only for the racing career of the horse until the co-ownership of the horse is dissolved upon racetrack retirement and does not extend beyond this into its breeding career (if applicable).

A working example was when our syndicated horse HONOR IN WAR finished 2nd in the AJC VILLIERS Stakes Gr2 behind TAKEOVER TARGET. We lodged an objection and put forward our opinion to the Stewards. Our protest was upheld and the race result was corrected – We WON !

Another working example from the opposite position was when we were first past the post with our horse MIDNIGHT AT ASCOT in the Magic Millions Country Cup on Magic Millions Day.

We were subject to a protest by the runner up where that horse’s rider said our horse interfered with his mount over the final 200m. On behalf of our owners we put forward our view that the interference claim was caused in the most part by the Runner-up. The protest was dismissed and we retained the race.

Our 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.

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.

That’s $2.26 per day + GST = $2.49 Per Day including GST.

MANAGEMENT FEES are payable by every Co-Owner under Dynamic Syndications.

The Fee is capped at 2 horses.

Owners with shares in 3 or more horses with Dynamic Syndications will only pay the costs to the maximum threshold for 2 horses = $150.00 including GST



How to Read and Understand a Horse Sale Catalogue Pedigree Page

The catalogue is the book which outlines in written format each horse in a sale.

Each page in the catalogue describes a different horse and their pedigree (family ancestry tree).

Each thoroughbred pedigree concentrates on the female family not the male line.

Why?
Because a mare can only produce one foal per year, whilst a Sire could cover up to 250 mares in a year. Therefore it’s the mares’ families where the commercial value of a young thoroughbred is realised.

Arguably the most important indicator for commercial value are twofold: The commercial demand of the Sire (Service Fee and Racetrack success of his progeny) and BLACK-TYPE.

What is BLACK-TYPE?

It’s the common industry term used to describe Bold Print on the catalogue page.

When a horse Wins a Stakes Race (Group 1, Group 2, Group 3 and Listed Race) the horse’s name is recorded in BOLD UPPERCASE.

If a horse was placed 2nd or 3rd in one of these Stakes Races the horse’s name is recorded in BOLD LOWERCASE. If a horse runs 4th in one of these races, no bold type is added to the horse’s name however the race is recorded on the page the 4th is in bold.

Simply the more BOLD print (BLACK-TYPE) on the catalogue page equals the more high quality horses in the female family. As a flow on, the more high quality horses the more commercially appealing the horse is to the market.

A pedigree provides extensive details about the relatives of each yearling offered (e.g. how many foals / winners the dam has produced, the race performances of each dam and their offspring).

All catalogue pages have certain structural similarities.

Horses appear in the catalogue and through the sales ring in Lot number order, beginning with Lot 1.

In the high majority of cases, Lot numbers in a sale run in the alphabetical order of the 1st Dam (mother’s) name. The catalogue starts with a random letter of the alphabet and rolls through in alphabetical order.

Each horse actually wears this Lot number as a sticker placed on its hips to identify it as the correct lot being offered in the sale ring. 

To familiarise yourself to the page layout, from top to bottom.

The majority of the information on each catalogue page in the sale of yearlings, 2-year-olds, horses in training, tried horses, weanlings and breeding stock, pertains to the dam's side (mother's / female’s) side of the family: (1st dam, 2nd dam, 3rd dam, 4th dam, etc.).

The first dam is the (mother) of the horse being sold

The second dam is the grand-dam (grandmother)

The third dam is the next generation. (Great-grandmother)

The fourth dam is the next generation (Great, Great-grandmother)
