TWELVE YEARS 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, Mark Kavanagh and Tony McEvoy in Victoria and South Australia, Kris Lees in NSW 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, 2008, 2009, 2010 and now into 2011 we have continued to get winners. In fact we had metropolitan winners at Flemington, Caulfield, Sandown, Moonee Valley, Morphettville, Victoria Park, Cheltenham, Randwick, Warwick Farm, Canterbury, Hobart, Launceston, Doomben and Eagle Farm since the start of 2006.


2007 AND 2008


Due to the outbreak of Equine Influenza 2007 and 2008 were difficult years 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 many of our horses of an important part of their career.

The full cost of the outbreak will never be fully known. From our perspective it has been very disappointing to see a number of horses not reach their potential due to complications associated with Equine Influenza.


On the racetrack we had plenty to cheer about including Maha Chakri winning the Tasmanian Oaks, Under Commands two wins in Sydney, Shine On Anna's two wins in Melbourne, Greenmount Belle’s six wins in Hobart and two stakes placings, Huiskes stakes win, Sun Glazed two wins in Melbourne and win in Adelaide, Hidden Wonders metropolitan wins in Melbourne and Adelaide, Lord Monty's arrival as a listed class sprinter, Captain Chaos's wins in Sydney, Brisbane and Hobart, Commands Gold's return to the winners list winning four straight. On top of these great performances we won a host of other races.


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 saw all of the three year olds we had on the books that year get to the races.


Thirteen of these horses were winners including the very promising sprinter Lord Monty, stakes placed Hidden Wonder, city winners Brunei Tale, Expressmoss, Greenmount Belle, Surefire Lad, Looking For Action as well Let There Be Rock, Izacat, Miss Bulawayo and Magnifique Lass.


Our three year olds did a great job considering this was the crop of horses that were most affected by Equine Influenza. Already we have a stakes winner in Huiskes, Flemington and Caulfield winner Shine On Anna as well as the winners Mr Langer, Flying Topaze, Bavarian Belle, Unser, Valize, Mongkut, Sea Coral and Miss Naiomi.


2009


2009 was a very good year for our company. Great steps were taken by the racing authorities in South Australia, Tasmania and Queensland that should see positive futures for the industry in those states going forward.

The recent announcement of stakes increases in South Australia of about 30% from February 2010 was terrific news and a great boost for all participants of the industry in that state.

Throughout 2009 our horses continued to win races with winners in Victoria, NSW, Queensland, South Australia and Tasmania.

In 2006 I was concerned that the cost of yearlings was going to force a number of our owners out of the industry. To help overcome this problem I decided to test my hand at buying weanlings and syndicating them. This has been a success with the seven I purchased in 2006 and 2007 getting to the races with six winning and the sixth being placed.

I intend continuing this strategy.

The 2008 crop (now 3 year olds) are doing a great job with ten winners already coming from this group of horses. The young brigade were ably supported by the older horses with Hidden Wonder, Lord Monty, Flying Topaze, Greenmount Belle, Commands Gold and Captain Chaos saluting the judge.

I was thrilled when Believe 'N Achieve, our first horse with Mark Kavanagh came out and won by six lengths. Equally, I was chuffed when Namsarai was placed at his first two starts at Canterbury.

We have a superb group of two year olds coming through the system and I can't wait for them to get to the races. We have two year olds by Street Cry, Testa Rossa, Flying Spur, Mossman, More Than Ready, Anabaa, Snitzel, Hidden Dragon, Starcraft, Danasinga, Stratum, Foreplay and Magic Albert.

2010

2010 started off with a bang and this has continued as we moved through the first five months of the year.

Hidden Wonder really got us going and her three wins on the trot was the start of a great run. She broke a course record at her first start at Randwick, followed up with another win at the great track and then won the Magic Millions Stayer's Cup at the Gold Coast on Magic Millions Day. Well done to Kris Lees.

Kris has also had great success with the Mossman gelding Unser winning three races during his current preparation including one at Canterbury. He was unlucky not to win at Randwick recently when he had a race taken off him on protest. Kris also trained Namsarai to an impressive win and has donme a good job with Admiral's Cup and Valize. We have a strong team of horses coming through the system with Kris.

David Hayes always does a good job with uis and we have had wins from Lord Monty, Sea Coral (2), Unchain My Heart (2), Danseda and Merry Miss.

Charlie Goggin has given us some great moments in 2010 with the win by Rose Of Scotland in the Tasmanian Magic Millions Two Year Old Classic, Too Many Reds unbeaten run during the Tasmanian Summer Carnival where he won three on the trot including the Carbine Club Trophy and wins by The Hornet and Commands Gold.

Mark Kavanagh has excelled with Believe 'N Achieve winning six of her last eight including three metropolitan wins in Adelaide at Morphettville and one at Moonee Valley. She looks like she may be one right out of the box.

2011

2011 has been terrific to us. We appear to have a really high class horse emerging in our three year old Pitt Street. He is very exciting and has a real touch of class.


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), 2008 Lord Monty ($30,000), Huiskes ($47,500), Shine On Anna ($75,000), Izacat ($30,000), Bavarian Belle ($20,000) and Magnifique Lass ($60,000), 2009 Greenmount Belle ($10,000), Hidden Wonder ($55,000) and in 2010 we have a host of good horses representing us including Believe 'N Achieve ($30,000) Too Many Reds ($30,000), Unser ($75,000), Sea Coral ($70,000), Unchain My Heart ($45,000) and Rose Of Scotland ($47,500). 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. Many of our weanlings are purchased privately but we also attend the major weanling sales held by Magic Millions and Inglis.

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.
