Syndication

Although nobody seems to have told the weather that it’s summer time the Team here at Easdon Lodge certainly know that it’s the ‘Silly Season’!  With the summer racing carnivals in full swing we’re proud to say that we’ve had winners at both Ellerslie and Trentham and we’re looking forward to a few more to boot.  There’s a definite and positive vibe within the racing community at the moment as a result of the thrilling racing, the anticipation of the approaching yearling sales and the long awaited increases in Stakes money which commence on the 1st March so it’s the perfect opportunity to get involved.

Next week will see the major players in the global thoroughbred industry competing at Karaka to secure a dream of their own, all seeing the potential of greatness and imaging the spoils that may lie ahead and we will be no different.  This year we will be buying yearlings at all levels for both syndication and private ownership.  Lance has been on the road inspecting the drafts since December and has begun to make his shortlists.  With over 1400 yearlings on offer there will definitely be something for everyone and syndication is easiest way to enjoy the fun without having to do any of the work, so let us do it all for you.

It’s been an exciting time for our syndicates of late with Viadana (Towkay ex Yeah Nah owned by the Easdon Lodge No 4 Racing Syndicate) winning at both Ellerslie and Trentham and Medici (Encosta de Lago ex Giovanna Owned by the Easdon Lodge No 1 Stallion Syndicate) winning at both Awapuni and Counties.  Viadana, who cost just $25,000 as a yearling, has won 2 on the trot now and from a total of 10 career starts has been placed and weighed in each time and her win at Trentham on the first day of the carnival was just amazing and a huge thrill for everyone involved.  Medici, the high priced sales topper, has finally hit his straps and has put in some exciting performances of late and has shown a swift turn of foot on the firm tracks.  Looking forward we’re very excited about watching last year’s purchase Volcano (Volksraad ex Toohottohandle), have his first race-day start in a couple of weeks time at Te Rapa, he is a lovely type and will just keep improving with age.  Heza Rebel is back in work and will be back on the track in the early autumn.  However it’s not just our syndicate purchases that have been making headlines, we’ve also enjoyed success this summer with Beauty Sparkle who we purchased for $55,000.  After winning 2 from 2 he is now waiting to head up to Hong Kong to compete in the biggest arena of them all!  Essouira (Johar ex Haze) provided owners Terry Needham and Sue Whittaker with a cracking win at Te Rapa in the New Year whilst they were here on their annual vacation from the UK.

If you are interested in getting involved in racehorse ownership give us a call.  We’ve selected horses from both ends of the budget scale which have gone on to become winners such as Sirrio who cost $15,000 and went on to finish 6th in the Karaka Millions before going to Hong Kong.  Come and find us at the sales, or give us a call we’ll be there throughout the sale and we’d be more than happy to help you out.  Updates will also be published on this website to keep you informed about our selections.

SYNDICATE DETAILS
