Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
It seems that The Canary has managed to con 52 new owners into parting with their cold hard cash to become part of a 50 member syndicate. That seems like a good trick. How does 52 divide into 50? I guess you will never know without a proper disclosure statement, which ain’t something that Andrew […]
We have written on numerous occasions about Andrew ‘The Canary’ Fitzgerald, the unregistered NZ trot syndicator who operates outside the law and rips unsuspecting innocent punters off blind. Here is yet another example. The Canary – through the Off N Gone syndicate that he owns and manages – has been offered 10 percent of a […]
If Trotsynd’s advertisement is correct – and no-one has given us any reason to believe that it is not – then how can Summit Bloodstock be operating legally as a syndicator in Western Australia? Operating they are though, syndicating both race horses and ‘temporary’ shares in Spirit of St Lous, their slot holder for the […]
He’s red hot the Canary isn’t he? I refer of course to Andrew Fitzgerald, the owner/promoter of the dodgiest syndication outfit north of Dunedin, the deliciously named Off N Gone Racing. In May last year the Canary sold a bunch of suckers some shares in a slow six-year old mare by the name of Northview […]
So Major Miss is a yearling and a 2YO at the same time? It’s a good trick isn’t it? New Zealand’s dodgiest syndicator Off N Racing selling shares in it is too. Why? Because Studholme Bloodstock own the filly, and there is no lease registered with HRNZ. For the sake of the clarity that Off […]
Holzarte Vedaquais is a young trotter that Tim Butt bought out of France for $440 000 while on an all expenses paid by Harness Racing Australia ‘study tour’ and flogged to all comers with a pitch declaring it to be the next big thing. Butt said the same about the original horse that he wanted […]
You’d want a share in this one wouldn’t you? It’s trained by the famous singer John Mayer’s brother. And marketed by a bunch of clowns. This filly was sold at the Inglis Premier Sale – which is misnamed, because it’s really the B-Grade auction – 9 momths ago for $125 000, which I reckon is […]
Some of the smartest people I know in harness racing got sucked in to the Tim Butt spiel about this French trotter HOLZARTE VEDAQUAIS that he was syndicating, and paid large sums of money to jump into the ownership. It just goes to prove that we are all chasing dreams. The horse is a cat. An […]
Aaron Bain has 250 female owners in his ABR Ladies Club does he? Oh yeah. I wonder if he would be prepared to publish all their names to prove it? Very much doubt it. Let’s run with the 250 number for a minute for the sake of the exercise though. The syndicate was advertised as […]
Summit Bloodstock’s website (or websites) have gone very weird. I’m not sure whether their original site was .com or .com.au, but it doesn’t really matter, because both are bizarre. Summitbloodstock.com.au is owned by Jamie Durnberger-Smith, the joint managing director of the Summit Bloodstock company. As you can see from the picture at the top his […]
