Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
Dear Valued Owners It is with deep regret that I must announce my decision to step away from direct management of horses and the industry for an indefinite period. Unforeseen and personal circumstances have necessitated this difficult choice, and my primary concern is ensuring that all investors continue to be fully supported and receive the […]
Racehorse syndicator Edge Thoroughbreds is very well named, as they give themselves a huge edge indeed, one that makes the bookie at Mt Isa’s market percentages look tame. I’d go as far as to say that Edges edge is daylight robbery myself. Let’s use the unraced 4yo gelding Pierre Cardinnigan as an example to illustrate […]
Sam Kilkenny is a the bloke who along with his then business partner set up the highly successful racehorse syndicator First Light Racing. Kilkenny, an accountant by trade who was a director of the firm Willis Partners, until recently used to be front, back and center promoting First Light, and was regularly seen at the […]
Yeah, yeah, before you get to say it I will admit it. I bagged the hell out of KO Racing for buying Maotai and syndicating it out to those keen to own a small piece of a horse. How wrong I was. Maotai looked like a really good horse when winning first-up at Flemington this […]
Is the rumblings we are hearing out of Brisbane are correct, strange things appear to be afoot within the walls of everyone’s favorite thoroughbred syndicator KO Thoroughbred Racing. The last time we wrote a story about them, KO Thoroughbred Racing’s website advertised its team as being founder Kobie O’Brien, partner Kurt Cockburn, Racing and Bloodstock […]
This is an email that every Kiwi’s favorite trot syndicator The Canary (aka Andrew Fitrzgerald) last week sent out to people on his mailing list, trying to flog them a 0.1% share in the horse SCOTT for $100 bucks. There are a few problems with The Canary’s pitch. One is that a hundred bucks for […]
According to the rumblings we are hearing emanate out of Brisbane, all may not be well in the house of everyone’s favorite syndicator KO Racing. Or should that now be KO & KC Racing Group Pty Ltd, as it seems to be known these days with Kirk Cockburn joining Kobie O’Brien in the ownership group. […]
By Ray Paulick When MyRacehorse’s Seize the Grey won the Grade 1 Preakness Stakes and the winner’s share of the $2-million purse, I was one of those people who pulled out a calculator and started doing the math. If the Arrogate colt earned $1.2 million from the race and there are 5,000 microshares in the […]
Everyone’s favorite syndicator KO Racing purchased the tried racehorse Maotai from an Inglis online sale in December for $90 000. Since that time it has been attempting to syndicate its $90k purchase in small shares worth a total of $150 000, continuing the KO Thoroughbred practice of heavily marking up the price of horses that […]
Sailor’s Rum was purchased at the recent Inglis March online auction for $37 500. He is being sold in 1/40th shares worth $1525 each by One Syndications. That values the worth of the horse as $61 000, which leaves not a bad profit marging for the syndicator. Not quite as good as the yearling filly […]
