Hi Grot,

Were you caught up in this as well? I own through other sydicates that go out of their way for the customer with daily or weekly updates as required and never hide anything from the owners. I'm wondering what will happen now to everyones shares now that Alan can't have a thing to do with them? Do we still have to keep paying the monthly upkeep if there is no chance of my horse racing anytime soon? I wish I went with my gut and got out of this ameture outfit once their pathetic web updates slowed about a year ago!

i wouldnt pay a cent to that thief.

No, Turbo, I wasn't with Nightingale. I'm with Novocastrian Racing who will be the contact referred to in Friday's paper.

Love My Way - 4 starts unplaced - coming back from knee chips should improve.

I hope he offloaded his shares before todays win.

Performing pretty well for a horse Dumb & Dumber couldn't handle.

I'm interested if anyone wants to start a class action them

I only lost a couple of thousand, but I wont let up till he loses everything or starts picking up the soap at long bay.

Grot,

I'm not from Newcastle and can't find Geoff Wilsons column on the net, can you fill me in with some details.

Thanks Croosbone
 

I'd read that article, I thought that there'd been another one as I couldn't find a ref to Novocastrian Racing.

Has anyone got an update about any syndicates?

I had an email from racing NSW in regards to a trainer interested in buying or continuing the syndicate. I have liased with the trainer via email and at this stage if the other members agree, I'm keen to crack on for a few more races....
