Number Of Owners Increased From 10 To 20 (From 1 August 2012)
Australian Racing Board is pleased to announce that it has increased the maximum number of individual owners allowed per horse from 10 to 20.
Australian Racing Board is keen to do everything possible to increase participation in racehorse ownership.
The rule amendment will come into effect from the commencement of the new racing season on 1st August 2012.
The change came at the request of the national body representing owners, ATROC. From talking to its members ATROC believe that increasing the cap from 10 to 20 will enhance interest in horse racing ownership. (courtesy RacingNSW).
What does this mean going forward? The above changes will not be amended retrospectively but in future horses, all 5% shareholders will be eligible to have their name in the racebook. It has not been confirmed at this stage whether mounting yard ticketing rules have also been increased but this would make sense.
Ahead of this decision, Clanbrooke had already decided to revisit 20 share Syndications with the launch of `Sharing Winners‘. All Sharing Winners horses will be 20 share Syndicates, capped at $2000 per share. See our first offering, a Rock of Gibralter x Westernport Bay Colt (pictured) on the Horse Shares page. 5% shares are offered at $1400 - monthly fees $140. A great way to get started in this great industry.
Sales season draws to a close.
It has been a busy few months at headquarters with pre-sale Yearling inspections and, of course, the heady and adrenalin-fuelled Sale days themselves. But that all drew to a close on Monday as the Inglis Autumn sale wrapped up.
Clanbrooke purchased 3 Yearlings in Melbourne this year - our Statue of Liberty (who is now 60% sold - click here to watch a video of him ), a Rock of Gibralter x Westernport Bay colt (pictured) who we are about to advertise next week and, last Sunday, a colt by First Season sire Kaphero (out of Viking Rose).
Both the Rock of Gibralter and the Kaphero Colt will be advertised under Clanbrooke's `Sharing Winners' brand, with 5% shares in all horses capped at $2000 - a terrific opportunity to enter the world of racing without breaking your budget.
Clanbrooke's Trivia Night is creeping up on us and is only a little over 2 weeks away. There are still limited spaces available on tables so if you are free, let us know as soon as possible as we will finalise numbers early next week.
Racingwomen.com.au, another venture that is headed by Brooke along with Jo Hyland (Mistable) and Siobhan Miller (Sirecam), is hosting a `Sunday soiree' at the clubhouse, `The Emerald Hotel' in South Melbourne this Sunday (6th May). For those who are interested to see what Racingwomen are all about, feel free to join us around 3pm (men included!). Wendy Stapleton is performing on the day so it promises to be a great afternoon out.
There are only 2 x 5% shares remaining in our inaugural Racingwomen offering - a Magnus x Lilymay colt. Magnus himself has launched his stallion career in style, celebrating his 3rd first crop winner at the weekend. Our colt is already at the breakers and will likely be an early goer.
Last chance to jump into Pat Carey's Winning Stable with our 2YO Oratorio Colt...
Pat Carey has cemented his reputation as one of Australia's Leading trainers of stayers. Clanbrooke's Oratorio x Academia Colt will soon be Mornington-bound into the care of Mr Carey. Already in pre-training, this fellow who, given the success of MANAWANUI, should be a middle distance/staying type, is not far from racing.
Why wait another year for a Yearling to develop when you could jump on board a horse ready to go with a trainer on fire?
Shares priced at $4950 per 10% but Partnership must close soon!

Pat Carey Scoops Australia's Greatest Staying Race
Last Saturday at Randwick, Clanbrooke's G1 Oaks winning trainer Pat Carey enjoyed success at the highest level once again when maiden gelding ETHIOPIA (Helenus x Shona) took out Australia's most prestigious staying classic, the 2400m ATC Derby. At only his 4th start, ETHIOPIA came from last to win by a short half head ans secure his place in history. After the shocking loss of G1 winning galloper CEDARBURG (Helenus x Infrared) in August 2011, it is terrific to see Pat and wife Cheryl back in the elite winners circle once more. Well done to a true gentleman of the Australian turf from all at Clanbrooke.
Friday Wrap
It was terrific to see Whitbread Lass hit form last weekend, recording her first win in over 18 months. She is backing up tonight at Cranbourne and we hope her new found form continues.
In Racingwomen.com.au news, shares are selling well and we hope to wrap up the Syndicate at an Open Day at Pat Hyland's Clyde North property scheduled for Sunday 22nd April. Further details will be posted on the Racingwomen.com.au website shortly but pencil it in your diary!
Our boy himself is doing well in his new environment and we are looking to send him to the breakers in early May - a positive step in the race to have him ready for the MM Classic in January. MAGNUS himself posted his first winner at Mornington last Saturday (How Swede It Is) so he is also on the board.
If you have been eyeing our Statue of Liberty x Umaris Colt and keen to see him in the flesh, come along to either Aquanitas Caulfield stables next Friday afternoon (4:00-6:00) where he will be paraded ahead of a Racing Victoria initiative that will see him paraded at Caulfield the following day. Email admin@clanbrooke.com if you are attending for catering purposes. Drinks and a BBQ provided.
Congratulations Brian - you are indeed `King of the Country.'
