Geegeez Racing Club

2010/11 SYNDICATE NOW SOLD OUT.

We’ve all dreamed of owning our own race horse, and leading him into the winners’ circle at the race track, to much cheering and adulation. And, of course, we’ve all dreamed of being in on a ‘right royal touch’ as a major stable gamble is landed.

But, for most, that’s all it remains: a dream. The costs of buying a winning race horse, plus stabling, training, feeding, and racing the animal can be astronomical, and because of this it’s usually the preserve of the rich and famous. Oil sheikhs, royalty, and major breeding operations abound.

But, in recent years, there has been a rise in the number of small private syndicates enjoying a degree of success with their club horses. These are ordinary people, just like you and me, who love their racing but would never be able to indulge their passion to this level of involvement without the support of a group of like-minded racing fans.

And that’s how this club has started. Due to a large number of requests for a racing club from Geegeez readers, it seemed like a great opportunity not just to get some of us together on a regular basis, but also to take advantage of certain privileges that I can extend (which are not available in other syndicates).

The initial Geegeez Racing Club horse sold out the fifty shares in just six days!

So, by popular demand, the 2010 Club is about to start!

There are just 50 shares, three of which have been pre-sold, each available for £700. Shareholders will receive the following:

All prize money and the full sales price will be divided up between shareholders on a pro rata basis.

You can also look forward to the following:

- Nothing else to pay for the full year – the horse will run between now and next June, when he will either be sold, or members will be balloted on whether to keep him in training for another year. (NOTE: There is NO obligation to remain involved beyond the first year).

- All prize money plus sales revenues to be divided equally amongst the 50 shareholders

- Stable visits by appointment

- Club days, where we’ll visit stud farms, gallops, the stables, and race meetings – all included in the price of your share

- Racecourse badges for all races when our horse is running. At most tracks, we can get discounted badges where necessary for friends or partners who wish to attend.

- The thrill of racehorse ownership, at a working man’s price (imagine telling your mates down the pub that ‘your’ horse is running today / tomorrow / next week, and it’s fancied / will need the run / has a good each way squeak).

- The chance to meet me at the track. I’m not exactly sure whether this is a benefit or not, but I’ll be there nevertheless!

This will be the only horse that will be syndicated by Julia and Geegeez this year, and I expect the shares to go fast. So, if you’re interested, please sign up below:

SOLD OUT

It promises to be a lot of fun and I can’t wait to share more news as soon as we’re on board.

Hope to see you at the track soon!
