The 2007 G1 Crown Oaks (Arapaho Miss) our crowning glory to date, we have built a formidable stable that is performing well with 17% runners to winners for Season 2010/11 - and more city runners than ever before. With considerable expertise at our fingertips through our Professional Partnerships, Managing Director Dean Humphries undertakes a great deal of planning before purchases are made. Pedigree analysis combined with thorough inspections and evaluations – all in conjunction with our Bloodstock Agent Kevin Dagg -ensure we are equipped to make informed assessments. Only after this exhaustive process are we able to wholeheartedly recommend our stable horses to prospective owners. Retaining shares in all our horses, we also have a vested interest to see our horses succeed! Clanbrooke Racing offer shares Australia-wide, as well as in Singapore. More recently, we have expanded to the English market, selecting youngsters with quality staying pedigrees with a long term eye on the Melbourne Cup. We manage our Partnerships on a day to day basis, liaising with trainers to facilitate the best possible outcome for each stable horse. Clanbrooke is not aligned with one trainer or one particular stable. Instead, we have established Partnerships with a number of Leading Trainers including Aquanita’s Robert Smerdon and Tony Vasil (Caulfield), Melbourne-Cup winning trainer Brian Jenkins (Cranbourne), Flemington-based Russell Cameron and Leading Country trainer Brian Cox (Wodonga), to name a few. We therefore have the flexibility to place our horses appropriately and, most importantly, ‘to advantage ,’in all situations. We tend to purchase in the `middle market’ – with shares generally around the $3K-$6K mark. We offer a variety of different options for potential owners – from 10% shares to 1% interests and interest free terms up to 6 months. We also offer Leased shares for those who just want to dip their toe in the water. We’ve proven that you don’t need to spend hundreds of thousands – or even millions – to enjoy success. Arapaho Miss was purchased for $22K and returned over $1.25m to members. One lucky member paid only $10 for her 10% leased share – the winner of one of our `share raffles.’
A family run business, we want the whole operation to have a `family’ feel and encourage owners to get involved, make new connections and have fun. Stable visits and regular owners events are organised to facilitate these connections and we encourage all Members to follow other stable horses racing in the Royal Blue and Gold. Ours is a terrific industry – one that can only get better with your participation as an owner. See www.clanbrooke.com for detailed information on shares currently available.
