I own a share in Sirrah Nashira it did not cost a fortune and does not cost a fortune each month, I have been around horses since the day I was born & owned a 63 acre breeding, rearing & spelling property. Back in the late 1990's we had 10 horses with Lee Freedman we had no wins with Lee & transferred the horses to Mark Bairstow who sorted through the horses advised which one to keep and which ones to sell we got 5 wins, those horses cost us between $50,000 & $90,000 each as yearlings ....... I am not saying for one minute that Lee is a bad trainer .....what I am saying is horses dont care if the trainer wears $200 sunglasses they just need good feed, good care and to be well trained..........be that at Caulfield or in the country ........... Alan is putting together a 120 acre breeding, rearing, spelling, training operation with a private trainer.... I would say he is looking toward the future.

Gelding........entire horses can be dangerous to handle and never make it to the race track ...... you bought shares in a race horse not a breeding stallion......... seems that some posters on this forum have only ever handled a dangerous computer mouse & not a entire horse.

Information Reporting ....... well alan did post all info on the web site ..... he did not email each one direct ........ but as syndicate manager thats his choice ......... I have not been to a owners open day so I cannot comment on whether or not his plans were explained directly on those days ........ Now that the info is out there it seems like it should progress into a sound operation if all things go to plan........but then this is racing and how often do all things go to plan ........ Lets just wait and see.

Alan is out there having a go, banging in fence posts not banging on computer keys.

I will buy another share with nightingale and it will most likely be in the Beautifull Crown gelding.

One last comment if your not happy sell your shares and move on ......
