What we offer our Members...
Management
Clanbrooke, unlike some other Syndicators, manage the Syndicates and Partnerships we create (unless specified in the advertisement), the ongoing Management of a horse means that Clanbrooke is responsible for the day to day management of the horse, liaising with training staff and relaying important information to Members, deciding on possible races in conjunction with training staff, managing the Syndicate/Partnership bank account, and remaining responsible for the payment of training and other ancillary accounts throughout the racing life of the horse.Clanbrooke also retains a share in most Syndicates/Partnerships. Therefore, Clanbrooke has a vested interest to ensure not only that the horse receives the best care available, but also that the horse is placed well to maximise both the immediate and long-term interests of the Syndicate/Partnership.
Dedicated 1900 telephone Hotline
Updated weekly or more often when a horse
is racing, the Hotline provides Members some last minute information
including trainer opinions, punting tips, and other relevant information
pertaining to the Syndicate/Partnership horse.
Members Web
Members are provided with a Username and Password enabling them to access the Clanbrooke Members Web, located on our website. The Members Web provides a weekly review of Syndicate/Partnership horses progress. Unlike the Hotline, the Members Web incorporates photos and other visual material as well and we encourage Members to submit any photos of either the Syndicate/Partnership horse or Members that could be displayed on the Web.Variety of Trainers
To ensure that we remain true to our initial goal of offering all race goers the opportunity of racehorse ownership, Clanbrooke uses a variety of trainers in a variety of locations throughout Victoria to meet our needs. Horses are often purchased (or leased) with a particular trainer in mind or, sometimes, a trainer may approach Clanbrooke with a Syndication opportunity. In some instances, where horses have proven unsuited to a particular level of racing, they are transferred to another of Clanbrooke's trainers for a fresh approach.Naming dinners
In 2004, Clanbrooke decided that it would be highly beneficial for Partnership Members to not only meet one another prior to the first race day, but also have the chance to participate in and vote for a name for the Partnership horse. Such dinners have since produced outstanding name submissions at which time Members have the chance to explain their choice and submit it to a vote. We have had terrific feedback from Members involved in these dinners and we intend to continue them for a select number of 10 share PartnershipsOwners Marquee
Since 2002, Clanbrooke Racing have had marquees at both the Wodonga Cup Meeting and on Albury Cup Day. On these occasions we try to ensure that a number of Clanbrooke horses are racing, providing an opportunity for all Members from both Melbourne and also regional areas to come along and meet in a relaxed atmosphere, as well as having the chance to watch their horse race live.Annual Owners Event
Clanbrooke holds an annual owners event where Members from all Partnership have the opportunity to socialise and enjoy a great night out. This year's event was a Trivia Night, hosted by Neil `Lofty' Longden. We intend developing this concept in coming years.Stable Open Mornings
When a Partnership horse is nearing trial, or when a horse has just come into work, Members are often offered the chance to come to the stable and watch their horse train, followed by a chat with the trainer.Fixed monthly payments
Clanbrooke costs monthly fees on a per annum basis. In this way, Members can be assured that fees will not be altered for a set period of time. After the set period (usually every six months), Clanbrooke reconciles Partnership accounts to ensure that monthly fees are appropriate. Any changes to fees are advised one month in advance.Credit Card payment for either share purchase or monthly fees. Members pay no more to pay via credit card (Visa or Mastercard).
Flexible 3 month payment plans for approved 10% shares.
