Hi Guys,

On last weeks #GGGamingGoneMad Gary and I chatted about getting buying a horse for GFTG followers. He said he will find the horse and go 50% and we would fund the balance

No idea what costs would be involved yet but sure we could structure smallish shares for those keen to buy in but not to break tha bank.

Having had a share in a horse once I would suggest this is viewed as a bit of fun rather than a profit making exercise

If you have an interest let me know below - no obligation and you can make a final call once we have a feel for costs

Would all depend on the horse and trainer.

Given a poor couple of weeks on Rugby I reckon a change of scenery might be just the right thing for me...!

Guys here is an extract from an article that will be going up - we will have 10 shares of 10k available but if you want to get involved for less we will make a plan - minimum buy in is R2.5k - this will be great fun I can guarantee you

Taking the purchase price, VAT, the 1st few months training and race fees into account the amount has been set at 100k with 10 shares available at 10k each. This is for the 50% share Gary has purchased and he will take up any shortfall.

If you are keen to get involved then e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with how many shares you want.
We decided to restrict it to 10 shares to make it manageable but if for example you want to be involved but can’t afford the 10k right now then we will link like-minded individuals up at a minimum buy in from R2.5k each. So if someone wants to spend 5k he will get a ½ a share and will be paired with another ½ a shareholder or a pair of ¼ shareholders.


E-mail me your interest and shout if there are any questions

The syndicate filling up quickly and we will look to wrap things up in the next week.

Gary also confirms ownership won't be just for the racing career but would carry over into any breeding should we strike it lucky

A few queries on monthly fees - Gary reckons worst case for someone investing 10k would be R400-R500 a month covering the share in both horses

The main objective is to have fun and we will leave the race choices etc to Lucky and Gary

My horse ownership days are behind me these days but I wish all those getting involved the very best, and I hope you one day get to lead in a winner. It’s truly the most amazing feeling and one I’ll never forget.

Will follow with interest.

Guys had a chat with Gary today and we will finalise everyones allocation on Monday

The reason: There is a Ready to Run sale in Cape Town today and Gary reckons we may be able to get another horse so that everyone can be involved. No guarantees and he won't buy for the sake of it but watch this space

She has been backed like a good thing already Brent (must be all the syndicate money!)

My daily double will be Loving The Victory (patriotic punt) onto Winter Smoke.

Ditto South - Also skipped the syndicate on an age basis and Hermanus is a long way from any race track.

Our girl runs 5th after being so slowly away. Feedback being she didn't know what was going on at first but if you see the race she put an impressive last 200m or so. Glass more than half full based on the way she finished.

Yes looked a bit all at sea first 200m Chris but finished the race with probably best final 400m time in field. Looked a picture in parade ring and will come on massively next time out. Won’t be a maiden for long.

Ps liked the silks, they do stand out nicely.

According to some form pointers the filly appears to have a solid chance 04/15.Quite positive of a place at the very least

Thanks VanDamme, I really hope so, been a frustrating filly to date offering plenty at home but not replicating at the track. I think the syndicate could do with a boost.
