Syndicates.Racing has acquired some of their best horses through thorough analysis and strategic decisions. Here are a couple of notable examples:
Cabaret Queen
Cabaret Queen was bought at the Goffs UK Spring Sale for £13,000 by Jack and Adam Potts. She was previously owned by Highclere Syndicate and had raced with Dan Skelton. Despite her impressive point-to-point performance, transitioning to racecourse she ran with perhaps too much zeal, appearing keen in her races. However, transitioning to Willie Mullins’ deep sand-based gallop helped her manage this keenness. This training environment transformed her into one of the leading staying handicappers of her generation, winning the Munster National, the Kerry National, and placing in the Galway Plate.
Grangee
Grangee was recommended by Fanny Cypres and was bought due to the owner’s financial difficulties at the Arqana February Sale. She was actually one of our slowest horses ever to sell our as COVID occurred just after her purchase. She is by Great Pretender, a unique stallion who ran over hurdles and remained an entire, thus continuing his ability to be a stallion. Grangee won her bumper impressively at Galway and went on to win at the Dublin Racing Festival and the Punchestown Festival, placing at the Cheltenham Festival. She was sold for €120,000 to Coolmara Stables, in addition to the €120,000 prize money she had already earned.
Conclusion
The success of Cabaret Queen, Grangee, and other horses like Tonkinese, Queen Meadhbh and Mise Le Meas demonstrates Syndicates.Racing’s ability to identify gaps in the market to exploit for our owners.
