A DECADE OF SUCCESS

I have now been syndicating thoroughbreds under the Prime Thoroughbreds banner since late 1997. In that time we have had great success and we have syndicated Group, Listed or Metropolitan winners in Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania.

The Prime Thoroughbreds horses are trained by top class horsemen. The Prime Thoroughbreds trainers are David Hayes, Andrew Payne and Mark Kavanagh in Victoria and South Australia, Kris Lees and Anthony Cummings in NSW, Mel Eggleston in Queensland and Charlie Goggin in Tasmania. Each of these trainers have established themselves at the top of their profession in their particular state or states. Our horses couldn't be in better hands.

Throughout 2007 and into 2008 we have continued to get winners. In fact we had metropolitan winners at Flemington, Sandown, Moonee Valley, Morphettville, Victoria Park, Cheltenham, Randwick, Warwick Farm, Canterbury, Hobart, Launceston and Eagle Farm since the start of 2006.

2007

Well it certainly was a difficult year for many people associated with the thoroughbred and harness industries. If one good thing has come out of all the pain that has been inflicted on the industry it is that Governments at all levels now have a greater understanding of the importance to the economy of the racing industry.

From our perspective it was disappointing not to have horses racing in Queensland and NSW. In fact 60% of our racehorses were stranded in NSW or Queensland when the Equine Influenza outbreak hit. While only a small number of our horses contracted the virus the shutdown to racing caused considerable disruption to many of our horses programs and robbed the three year olds of important part of their career.

But it is time to look forward and we have plenty to keep us occupied in the coming months.

There were many highlights throughout 2007. For me the outstanding job our trainers have done for us has been a major plus. In David Hayes, Kris Lees, Charlie Goggin, Anthony Cummings and Mel Eggleston we have a very good group of people looking after our interests.

The biggest highlights were Maha Chakri winning the Tasmanian Oaks, Under Commands two wins in Sydney, Greenmount Belle’s four wins in Hobart, Huiskes emergence as a genuine black type performer, Sun Glazed two wins in Melbourne and Mel Eggleston’s good performances with Let There Be Rock. Mel was gutted when our very promising three year old Cubozoa died from colic. He looked like being a very good horse when he won on debut at Eagle Farm but unfortunately died shortly after.

Over the years I have been very proud of the fact that we have consistently managed to get 90 to 95% of our purchases to the races. This is well above the industry average. Even taking into account of the problems of 2007 we have seen all of the three year olds we have on the books get to the races. Ten of these horses are already winners including the very promising sprinter Lord Monty, stakes placed Hidden Wonder, city winners Brunei Tale, Expressmoss, Greenmonunt Belle, Surefire Lad, Looking For Action as well Let There Be Rock, Izacat and Magnifique Lass. Another three have been placed and I expect all bar three will win races.

Our new group of two year olds are looking very promising. Already we have a stakes winner in Huiskes and the metropolitan placed Mr Langer.

WINNING IS A HABIT

The very first horse that I syndicated was the Warwick Farm winner Let's Jive. Since then we have rarely been without a good horse. Our best performed horse in each year since we kicked off has been 1998 Let's Jive ($20,000), 1999 Calming ($40,000), 2000 Polish The Silver ($28,000), 2001 Desk Top Lover ($25,000), 2002 Zero Drama ($47,500), 2003 Horrocks ($50,000), 2004 Holding ($10,000), 2005 Unabated ($40,000), 2006 Under Command ($35,000), 2007 Maha Chakri ($40,000) and in 2008 Lord Monty ($30,000), Huiskes $47,500 and Magnifique Lass ($60,000). The price in brackets behind each horse is the purchase price for the horse. These figures in themselves tell a story as well. Listed further down the page is a list of our winners.

WHERE DO WE PURCHASE OUR YEARLINGS

In Australia we are very fortunate to have two of the most professional and well respected thoroughbred auction companies in the world in William Inglis and Son and Magic Millions Pty Ltd. These two companies run the major sales throughout Australia. Commercial and part time breeders strive to get their horses into the major sales run by these companies. Only the best are selected. Almost exclusively we purchase our yearlings at sales conducted by these two highly regarded companies.

At the Magic Millions Gold Coast January Sale I purchased 12 yearlings. Our yearlings were reared at Arrowfield, Vinery, Bellrieve, Yarraman Park, Baerami, Torryburn, Stratheden, Edinglassie, and Alanbridge Studs in NSW as well as Lyndhurst Stud and from Robyn Wise Thoroughbreds on the Darling Downs in South Queensland. These studs are amongst the very best in Australia. In our opinion this gives our young horses a big headstart as they head to their racing careers.

WHY SELECT A PRIME THOROUGHBREDS HORSE

Firstly, the Prime Thoroughbreds horses have a good chance of getting to the races. This is important. Our selection criteria and the checks and balances we have in place have seen us get a high percentage of the horses we have syndicated to the races and a lot of winners flow from these runners.

Secondly, we have put in place through our trainers a system where you normally only get one account from each trainer each month. This is important. This system allows you to enjoy your racing without having to pay several small accounts per month.

Thirdly, we pride ourselves on our communication with our owners. The clients with horse with David Hayes get regular updates from the stable and also from Prime Thoroughbreds. This system works extremely well. I am in regular contact with all our trainers and forward updates to the owners that have horses with them. As well as that we regularly update this website and send a regular newsletter.

Finally, we are not that big that we don't have time for our clients. I normally only syndicate about 15 horses per year although with our spread of new trainers this may increase in the next couple of years. In any case this allows me to be very choosy about where I buy the horses and I am under no pressure to buy a horse simply because I need one to syndicate. I don't have a big administrative tail that sees me needing to syndicate large numbers of horses to fund the operation.

In essence 'Prime' is about people brought together because of their interest and love of the thoroughbred. It is in our interest to ensure your participation is a worthwhile one. Winning races is our business and while not every horse we buy will be a winner, many will be.
