JAN 2025
​​
Dear owners and friends,
I trust you all had a wonderful holiday period and are all looking forward to an exciting 2025 I know i am......
At the back end of 2024 we had our day at the Bong Bong races which was an awesome day and I would like to thank all those in attendance for creating such a memorable occasion. More events will be organized for 2025.
I am also very proud of the fact we have achieved 100% success of runners to winners with Lady Savannah, Altair I Am and Prosperous Dragon all cracking their maiden races and joining ALL the other Equicom horses that have raced. This is very pleasing to me and look forward to "Adeel Its a Steal" joining our illustrious group of winners when he kicks off his career in the coming months. Thank you to all the loyal and patient owners for their faith in our process.
For the records no horses were purchased at The Magic Millions. The next syndication will be mid-year providing we have the right horse.

Flying Crazy Inglis 6yo Gelding trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 34-5:1:5 Prizemoney incl. Bonus: $635,840
Crazy unfortunately picked up a niggling virus, which cut his preparation short. Hence, it was decided to give him a good spell and come back healthy and well for the Autumn carnival. Currently in pre training and set to return to Rosehill around 3rd Feb.
Altair I AM - MM 4yo Gelding trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 7-1:2:0 Prizemoney: $71,250
Altair cracked his maiden in style on Boxing Day. He has had a very consistent preparation and set to race at Kensington (inside track at Randwick) tomorrow at 5.15. Good luck owners in this BM 72 over 1800m.
Allapercanto (Swifty) - Inglis 4yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill- Summary: 14-3:2:4 Prizemoney: $139,900
Swifty had 2 metropolitan (Saturday Sydney) placings out of 4 races in this prep, this may sound successful but we have higher expectations than this and look forward to her return after a good spell. Sometimes horses just struggle to recapture previous form for no apparent reason. Back to the reset and targeting the later part of the Autumn carnival. Spelling until approx 3rd Feb.
Lady Savannah - MM 3yo Filly - Trained by Team Hawkes, Rosehill - Summary: 5-1:0:0 Prizemoney: $35,725
Lady Sav had a well deserved spell after her success at Newcastle, returning to pre training 27th Jan. She is a lovely type but needed a bit more time to grow (furnish) to further develop and compliment her natural ability.
Adeel It's a Steal (Dundeel x Stroak) - 3yo gelding Trained by Team Hawkes - Unraced
Adeel was very close to racing after his trials, however the team decided to give him more time as he's a very big / strong horse and assist too mentally mature further. He has tons of ability but it must be harnessed correctly to give him every chance of success in his career. Currently in pre training and heading to Rosehill around 3rd Feb.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 direct 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.
