I know this is shutting the gate after the horse has bolted, but, I have been involved in, in charge of and trained for syndicates and in my experience they nearly always turn to shit!!! One thing you must realise before going in on one is that you are pretty much just there to help fund someone's dreams!!! This is a pity as there would be some really great people lost to the sport because of selfish, greedy pricks who when its all boiled down know SFA about dog racing!!
