STABLE CHANGE:
After 2.5 years with Team Hawkes it was decided to offer owners the opportunity to relocate our steeds to Feale Park under the training of Jake Hull. This was accepted by the owners and all have remained with Equicom and have faith in the exciting move which was not done lightly.
Jake is a former jockey that trains out of the idyllic settings on the Central Coast and boasts a wonderful set up with his own track, pool, walker and acres of space for day yards and spelling.
With a very modern day approach with training, communication, and an willingness to travel to where best suits the horse we have a very bright future.
Over the past few years I have had horses with Jake and been very impressed with his attention to detail and the care for horses, and of course success with limited stock whilst building his stable.
Change is always testing but a necessity to succeed. Our relationship is very strong and we work very well together.
In the coming weeks a date will be decided upon for an Open Day to allow owners to visit Feale Park and meet Jake and his family in person.
I would like to thank Team Hawkes for their work and wish them every success moving forward.
Brief Horse Updates: Further to regular, individual owner WhatsApp messages.
Flying Crazy Inglis 6yo Gelding trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 39-5:1:5 Prizemoney incl. Bonus: $643,340
Upon Crazies arrival at Feale Park it was identified that he had a few internal issues that needed to be rectified with appropriate medication. He is now in great order ansd we look forward to him racing on 2nd August in Qld or at Rosehill.
Altair I AM - MM 4yo Gelding trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 10-1:2:0 Prizemoney: $72,050
Altair was very unlucky when blocked for a run in his first race back in Victoria and after his second up race was fiund to be 2/5 lame.
Once arriving at Feale Park and after thorough examination it was identified that he had a few issues in his knee which required an operation. 4 days after his arrival he was operated on and from all accounts it was a success. He has undergone box rest and now heading into a small restrictive yard to assist his rehab.
He will spell for 3 months and beck back racing later in the year.
Thank you to all owners that have supported him during this time and we hope he can now reach his full potential.
Allapercanto (Swifty) 🐴 - Inglis 4yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill- Summary: 16-3:2:4 Prizemoney: $143,900
Swifty arrived at the stables with a few niggling areas of soreness. After minor treatment she will be heading to Warwick Farm next Wednresday to race in the BM 72, 1300m.
Lady Savannah - MM 3yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 9-1:1:0 Prizemoney: $48,025
Our Lady has had a very close second at Wyong after looking home and nutted on the line. She continues to mature and looks to race in the coming days, most likely at Kembla tomorrow in race 6. The form around her is solid and we look forward to her stepping up.
Adeel It's a Steal (Dundeel x Stroak) - 3yo gelding Trained by Team Hawkes - Summary: 0-0:0:0 Prizemoney: $1,050
The big boy has certainly made an impression on the team at Feale Park. After his pre-training with Will at the farm he came up in great order and will be approaching the trails in a few weeks time. All going well and after patience from all concerned we look forward to seeing him at the track and over a suitable distance as he develops.
Thanks again to our devoted and attentive team of trainers and pre trainers (Farm) that give our horses every opportunity to succeed.
Just a quick reminder that if you see a horse racing that you are not in the ownership of and would like to come out and support, please contact me directly and I will organise tickets for you (subject to availability). It's the more, the merrier 🙂

WHY DO SYNDICATONS EXIST?
Owning and racing horses can be an exciting and rewarding experience with huge upside potential if done correctly. As with any investment, it is important to understand what is involved in maintaining your asset (your horse(s)) and the associated risks so you can make informed decisions. A popular way to stay informed and have the management of horses provided as a service is by engaging a reputable Syndicate to assist you with realizing your goal of horse ownership.
A Syndicate is where a group of investors all own a share percentage of a horse and split the fees associated with the horse accordingly. For example, a horse syndicated for $100,000 with 40 x 2.5% ownership per participant of the syndicate would incur individual costs to approx. $32 per week (based on 7 months in training and 5 spelling with Metropolitan trainer), per participant. Lower with a trainer based in provincial or country locations.
THE ROLE OF EQUICOM IN A SYNDICATED HORSE
Equicom acts as a focal point for the organization and management of all the horses’ requirements throughout the duration of the arrangement. Our duties encompass the following areas of development and management of the horse;
-
Utilizing research and a deep understanding of horse breeding along with the experience of experts to ensure that only individually inspected (at stud and sales) horses of high quality and promise are selected at the right price.
-
Eases management pressures on trainers allowing them to develop the horse in the most efficient way and do what they do best……be the trainer.
-
Management of all administration and invoicing responsibilities. Invoices are consolidated into one monthly invoice to ensure simplicity, transparency, and ease.
-
Create accountability for all 3rd parties involved to ensure all work is invoiced and conducted at appropriate industry costs and to the expected, highest standard.
-
Equicom also acts as a focal point for communication of the horses’ whereabouts, its condition, and any other interesting updates regarding the development/upkeep of the horse.
-
Provide regular stable and farm visits to the horse, a strong connection to your horse not only as a financial investment but as a genuine interest is important to us too. This is why after career care is very important to us and we ensure the horse is found a suitable home post-career.
Through this framework we seek to create an environment around the investment that removes all doubts and concerns that may arise and if you do we have provided the appropriate pathways to communicate and resolve these concerns.
