Q&A:
Below are a list of questions and answers.
If you can’t find the answer to your question, please email us and we will give you a personal answer.
We put together racing syndicate’s i.e. small groups of people to share in a number of horses.
How many people are there in each syndicate?
This varies, usually from 8 to a maximum of 10 people.
MRC works alongside with other leading bloodstock agency worldwide mainly in Australia, New Zealand and from time to time in the UK & USA.
This differs from syndicate to syndicate but generally ranges from HK$38,000 up to HK$100,000 per 10%.
What does the price of share include?
The price of a share covers all expenses including the purchase of the horse,ballott, transportation and insurance of the horse.
Can MRC ask for more money other than that stated on the agreement form?
Absolutely not. Any deficit is borne by MRC and not the shareowner.
MRC appoints 2 leading trainers in Macau:
Currently we have appointed Geoff Allendorf to train three syndicates and Tim Pinfield to train four.
Can owners see their horses being trained?
Yes. At any time that suits them and this is organized through the MRC office. In addition, MRC organises regular stable visits at the MJC, where owners are able to visit the stable and meet the trainer and inspect the horse.
How do I know when my horse is running?
Owners are kept fully informed as to the progress and running plans of their bloodstock. This is done through email, skype and, most importantly, by personal communication on the telephone.
MRC organises for two owners’ badges to be collected from the owners’ entrance. Owners have access to the paddock before the race as well as access to the Owners’ and Trainers’ Car Park.
MRC syndicate owners also have the use of the Macau Racing Club Box at MJC racecourse, which is situated just above the winning post with a fantastic view of the track.
What makes MRC different to other multiple ownership groups?
The consistent success of our horses at the highest level combined with a highly personal and professional service to our owners investing in The Macau Racing Club.
We take a management fee charged on each syndicate based on results.
Why join a MRC syndicate versus racing my own horse?
The short answer is that it will be more fun, more cost-effective and will give you far greater chance of racing success at the highest level.
