At the end of the day, if Nightingale was doing their job, this thread thread wouldn't exist...
You really have gone deep into the conspiracy theory nickg, think your imagination has got the better of you there.

I own a share in Sirrah Nashira it did not cost a fortune and does not cost a fortune each month, I have been around horses since the day I was born & owned a 63 acre breeding, rearing & spelling property. Back in the late 1990's we had 10 horses with Lee Freedman we had no wins with Lee & transferred the horses to Mark Bairstow who sorted through the horses advised which one to keep and which ones to sell we got 5 wins, those horses cost us between $50,000 & $90,000 each as yearlings ....... I am not saying for one minute that Lee is a bad trainer .....what I am saying is horses dont care if the trainer wears $200 sunglasses they just need good feed, good care and to be well trained..........be that at Caulfield or in the country ........... Alan is putting together a 120 acre breeding, rearing, spelling, training operation with a private trainer.... I would say he is looking toward the future.

Gelding........entire horses can be dangerous to handle and never make it to the race track ...... you bought shares in a race horse not a breeding stallion......... seems that some posters on this forum have only ever handled a dangerous computer mouse & not a entire horse.

Information Reporting ....... well alan did post all info on the web site ..... he did not email each one direct ........ but as syndicate manager thats his choice ......... I have not been to a owners open day so I cannot comment on whether or not his plans were explained directly on those days ........ Now that the info is out there it seems like it should progress into a sound operation if all things go to plan........but then this is racing and how often do all things go to plan ........ Lets just wait and see.

Alan is out there having a go, banging in fence posts not banging on computer keys.

I will buy another share with nightingale and it will most likely be in the Beautifull Crown gelding.

One last comment if your not happy sell your shares and move on ......

Nicely said coach.

Now will you coach the Australian Socceroos. They are having a shocker.


coops

coops

Just telling it like it is, just telling it like it is ........

ps, didnt get the name "coach" for nothing

Rode trackwork for 3 years so I know exactly how fractious an entire can be. No problem with the gelding at all, just stating that the information could have been delivered better.

Not a comment that adds anything to the main thrust of this thread but I can only imagine what it is like being the handler of a thoroughbred entire. Last year whilst looking after my brother's property for 2 months, I had 8 horses to look after in addition to the cattle etc. Heavens horses are strong "bastards". Trying to hold one sufficiently still whilst administering worm medication was often difficult and they are only old nags.

You wanna try given it to 15 Clydesdales Yutha mate. We do it every 8 weeks and we gotta catch them first.

coops

Coops ......... I almost forgot how much fun drenching and worming could be........lol.........what do you do with the clydesdales .....show or work ????

Members of my family have harness horses which are shown in Hackney Driven Class with Viceroys as well as jinkers ....... Coach

Bickerty: I was at a party one night and 2 guys per playing the paino together and singing John Lennon's Imagine in a terrible manner I asked them to give it a break and one of the other guests asked me to take over if I could play or sing any better......... So if you can do better than nightingale dont waste any more time complaining start your own syndication business.

P'off: you ask what horses Sasha trains ?? how about your horse right now ........ along with 14 other nightingale horses and 8 nightingale yearlings coming up through the ranks......... email Bickerty's there is bound to be an opening in the new syndication operation.

Coach

I was asking what horses sasha has previously trained, or are nightingales the first ? Why are you so defensive, dont you think the owners have the right to ask questions ?? No one is bagging Sasha , but if you are paying your money each month you are entitled to ask about how your horse is being managed.If you do a trainer search on racing NSW website you cant find Sasha.

I also agree with Bickity that the owners should not have to find out info by logging on to website , you would think we would be notified by email at least.
