    This made me laugh

    "A weekly email update on how your horse is progressing in training as well as titbits of info on other horses in Gordon’s yard."

    At 450 a year you must be looking at least in the syndicate.

    There have been a few incarnations of Gordon's racing club. He had one a few years back using Annie's colours. There was another on Facebook last year. Whoever was organising that got some horrid abuse which was uncalled for. Without more detail and a particular horse you are getting involved in, it's hard to assess.

    with any of these you're best to go for ones offering a defined share in a specific horse imo, too many of these racing clubs are just a moneymaking racket and can have an infinite number of members.

    Michael O'Callaghan has set the bar for how to operate syndicates. Up to others to match him.

    I'm interested in the O'Callaghan syndicate myself as it is very similar to our own approach which is transparency on costs. I'd like to dabble a little on the flat but our trainer is NH so needed another outlet. I've made contact but the stumbling block, at the moment, is a lack of a syndicate agreement which should be the first thing that is prepared when doing something like this.
