Coach, have you never once been unhappy with service in a restaurant, by a mechanic, in a bar, in a retail outlet, or by in fact anyone whose services you are paying for????
Do you offer to step into everyones shoes???? Agree with p'd off, very defensive stance you are taking....
I have experience with other syndicators, so i can compare the level of service for the same outlay each month and Nightingale aren't up to scratch. I am happy that they are trying to make a go of it, but do you think they would be happy if just paid them half my bill each month??? NO, so i'm not happy getting half the service.....
Their website was not updated for 2 months so it cant really be relied on for a reliable source of info....
My invoice always seems to get to me promptly, funny that....

bickity
a sad day to see a good honest owner being rubbished on a site like this for speaking the truth on how he feels.
it must be gut wrenching to have spent ???K for your share as well as ongoing costs to get to this point and cop the latest news that being the NEW never before mentioned racing partnership with an unheard of trainer and no date for training to even commence.
the correct avenue for you is to contact racing NSW and the financial services ombudsmen if you to wish to lodge a complaint rather than being abused this way
i have been in other horse syndications as well and NEVER seen anything like this.
if joining demand a PDS.

Hi Andy
Alan Nightingale here old mate, Maybe if you pay for all your share you will get all the information???? 5% OWING ON THE VISCOUNT GELDING $2250 BY END OF MONTH OR CIVIL ACTION.......

Defensive ??? you over sensitive pair of sooks , you log in and type what ever you like and when some one points out the facts you whimper "dont be so defensive" ....... Owners have a duty of care to ask questions ............ that means ask the manager of your syndicate ............. not come onto a forum and bad mouth while hiding behind a pretend name ....... you were told how you would be kept upto date when you agreed to buy your share of the horse ........ the updates would be posted onto the website ....... what part of that did you not understand ......... AS I SAID IF YOUR NOT HAPPY POST YOUR SHARES FOR SALE AND MOVE ON .........what shares in which horse did you say you owned ?????? Oh thats right you didnt.

i agree that the information has been slower coming through onto the web site but Alan has always said "if you have any question call me" you have his number make a call. And if possible get to his open days.

We own shares in Countach, the Viscount colt.
I haven't done anything but state the facts.
I have raised my issues with Alan.
Anything else?

Getting back to madfils question ......... i think madfil now has a pretty good cross section of opinons on Nightingale Thoroughbreds ....... I am very happy with my selection of horse (Sirrah Nashira has excellant old school breeding with plenty of bold black type) I am happy with the training setup, as well as the feedback (I do correspond with Alan) ........ there are monthly open days for owners ......... however as you will have read some feel they dont get enough regular updates ....... I firmly believe Alan Nightingale offers soundly bred horses at a very affordable fee structure allowing a lot of people the trills, spills and vet bills of horse racing .............COACH

do they breed the horses that are part of the $1 share offer ?

In The know 2 ....... they breed and buy at yearling sales.

There is a half sister to Sirrah Nashira as a yearling and the Beautifull Crown gelding looks a go also. There is a 5% share in Sirrah for sale.

the coach sound suspiciously like someone who is trying to sell shares in a racehorse, I wonder who that could be ??
