Greyhound Syndication in the Future

By Hamish

The internet has changed a lot of things including the greyhound racing industry and greyhound ownership.

Greyhound syndication has become more professional and is moving with the times. In this post I just wanted to share with you a couple of things that I see happening more and more as we move in to the future. This list is by no means exhaustive but I think that these events will occur as greyhound racing grows and more owners become involved.

Breeding Syndicates- With more and more owners looking to be involved, we are going to need more dogs to be racing. Somebody has to breed these dogs and I feel that many breeding syndicates will pop up to support this need. It is happening already but I believe that this activity can only accelerate.

Online Portals and news sites- There are new sites popping up all the time where people interested in the greyhound industry can get more information, get involved with forums, and chat with like-minded individuals who are passionate about the industry

Being run more professionally by groups other than trainers- As we get more owners and hence more greyhounds racing, greyhound trainers are going to be busier and have less time to service the needs of their owners. I think that more and more we will see greyhound syndicate facilitators pop up who help match those wanting to become greyhound owners with those who have the greyhounds to syndicate. This will be a fee for service proposition and all ownership will then rest in the hands of syndicate members.

The popularity of greyhound racing and greyhound syndication will only grow exponentially. In my opinion these are some of the improvements that we will see happen in the industry over the coming years.
