Ross Waddell’s Pacing WA and Trotsynd Pty Ltd, Gloucester Park Harness Racing’s licenced syndication arm, have entered into an exciting new partnership.
Over the past two years, Ross Waddell has bought horses at the Perth yearling sales and set up partnerships. These included the Group One winners Red Hot Roxy and The Real Ideal.
While Trotsynd had ten syndications for the Western Australian Trotting Association, which featured purchases of yearlings as well as tried horses from New Zealand, the best performers were Group One winner Hail The Judge and open class pacer Franco Amon.
The two organisations have come to an agreement which will see the partnership buy and syndicate horses from the 2017 Perth yearling sales on Sunday 5 March, held at Belmont race track.
“I cannot be happier with our new partnership” said Waddell
“Pacing WA has had a lot of success with introducing new owners to harness racing through our partnerships, however having the ability to syndicate with Trotsynd should help take it to another level”
The horses that are purchased will be syndicated into twenty shares each.
“It’s an exciting opportunity” said Trotsynd Secretary Michael Radley
“We have looked at what Ross has done over the past two years and think we can help grow the ownership base through our syndication licence.
“Our discussions have been around how we can improve the owner experience and the syndicate members will receive regular newsletters and video updates from when the horse is bought, through to breaking-in, trialling, and hopefully racing and winning. There will also be social functions” said Radley.
Chairman of Trotsynd, Chris Pye echoed Radley’s comments.
“I’m delighted that Trotsynd has been reinvigorated and I’m looking forward to an exciting partnership with Ross and Pacing WA”.
Once the horses have been secured by Pacing WA and Trotsynd a prospectus will be available on specific horses offered for syndication on the Gloucester Park website www.gloucesterpark.com.au and expressions of interest can be made through info@gloucesterpark.com.au.
