Frequently asked questions

A racehorse syndicate is a group of people who share ownership of a racehorse. It's a way to own a racehorse at a fraction of the cost of racing one yourself.

Each owner purchases a share, with a minimum of 2.5%, and expenses and prize money are paid according to the percentage held.

Affordable. Syndication lets you buy into a racehorse for as little as a 2.5% share, cutting the cost of purchase, training, care and management while still giving you the full ownership experience.

Expert horse selection. Working with our trainers, bloodstock agents and racing managers, we research and select horses suited to the tracks and regions we operate in.

Communication. Weekly updates through training and spelling, detailed pre- and post-race reports, and portal access to images, video and trainer insights.

Events. Stable open days, race day hosting, Christmas parties and One Syndications gatherings.

No administration. From purchase to racing to day-to-day management, we handle it. You just show up.

We carefully select quality thoroughbreds suited to the regions they race in, and hold ourselves to a high standard of integrity in everything we do.

One monthly invoice, constant updates, exclusive events and sports luncheons. As people genuinely committed to the industry, our aim is to be Queensland's leading racehorse syndicator.

The process is simple. Sign up to our ownership list through the website and we'll contact you as we purchase new horses or have shares available in existing ones.

If a horse interests you, send us a message, email or call, and we'll sort everything out from there.

The share price is calculated to include the horse's purchase cost and all the expenses outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS).

Share prices are provided directly to interested parties rather than published, so get in touch and we'll take you through the numbers for any horse.

Ongoing costs vary by horse, depending on its needs and whether it's in training or resting. In Australia the average annual cost to own a racehorse is around $50,000–$60,000, which gives you a guide to monthly expenses based on your share.

We handle all payments and consolidate them into one detailed monthly invoice, and you are only charged the actual costs from trainers and suppliers.

We charge a $40 monthly management fee per horse for each owner, with discounts for multiple horses. Full fee structures are set out in the PDS.

Race day ticketing, detailed pre- and post-race reports, and weekly updates on training and spelling with track work video, photos and voice reports.

It also covers One Syndications events such as stable open days, BBQs and Christmas gatherings, and all associated administration.

All prize money is paid directly into your bank account by the racing authority in the week following the race. One Syndications does not handle any prize money and does not take a cut of it.

Racing Queensland restricts the number of owners named in the race day booklet to 20 per horse. Every shareholder of 5% or greater receives full race day privileges, including course entry and members and mounting yard access.

If you're hoping to attend a race day when your horse is running, we can often secure extra tickets for you and your guests given enough notice, subject to availability.

Tried horses, or horses that have raced before, already have a name, and we continue to race them under it.

For yearlings, all owners get a chance to suggest names and the most popular are voted on.

Exceptional communication is our hallmark. We're in regular contact with our trainers and provide frequent updates including written briefs, video, photos and audio.

We're also highly accessible and always happy to answer questions.

Working with our trainers, bloodstock agents and racing managers, we research, study, analyse and select horses best suited to the tracks and regions we operate in, aiming for the best return along with the most exciting ownership experience.

Yes. We retain a share in every horse we purchase, so you can be sure our selection process is about quality, not quantity.

Our trainers and racing managers continuously assess each horse's performance. If we believe a horse might do better elsewhere or should be moved on, we communicate that to you with detailed feedback. The focus is on winning races and maximising prize money returns for owners.

If there's an external offer to purchase a horse, we relay it to the owners. A 60% majority vote among the syndicate group is required to proceed with a sale.
