Took your advise mate

best way of owning..is with a scheme like what TEAM G offers....got involved recently with them.....bought about 10% in 12 horses...which have nice pedigrees...already the 2 that have stepped out have shown potential and its affordable...and the fun and thrill is excellent,not to mention the feedback and hospitality of the stable...this has to be the future of owning..,especially for the smaller owners...for me...there is no red tape in this deal...just fun..and who knows/...there might be a champion lurking ...and if not so what..cant compliment team g enough in making owning horses...affordable and practical and desirable...lets hope other stables follow suit..
i have made an arrangement with them...that i will pay my monthly subs(training fees)to them as normal...and what ever stakes that are accrued by the horses ..i will take it as alump sum at the end of the year..and punting must pay for the horses in training...NAUTICAL...TIP FROM THE STABLE has alraedy paid for this month

well spoken(tu)

question is, who is the winner in this tough game..........?

I've seen on the Dean Kannemeyer website that they have set up syndication similar to what team g offers its called DK racing club so like the guru says there is a future for small owners if you prepared to accept ownership as a hobby and not an investment! My friends spend thousands on their cars for legal drag racing with no cash incentive and just a trophy if they do fastest times/ or win races just trophies.

I think pirates point is that if we get involved and expect to show huge profits then we would fall into the cnuts bracket..

Ii guess that was the point that's why we spoke of the likes of team g , dk racing and two oceans

Maybe pirates put it more mildly lol
