If half of what is being said about Brad is true, the poor boy may be about to find himself facing a whole lot of trouble. I do feel sorry for anyone who may not have received the fun experience that they should from greyhound ownership. It is a great industry that you should most definitely find fun and exciting.

Here are some important things that you need to consider if you are keen in getting started out in the greyhound racing industry through syndication:

Do your research- You need to do your research before you spend your money. You should make sure that you do a Google Search ( so you can find if people are saying bad think about the syndicator you are thinking about) and you should talk to other syndicate owners who use the trainer you are looking at. You also need to research the greyhound sire and breeding to ensure that you are finding yourself a well bred greyhound.

Don’t get involved for money- Whilst there are things you can do to improve your chances of profitability, you need to remember that it is not just about money. You may not cover your costs from prize money. It is about keeping the industry going and the excitement of seeing your greyhound come across the line first. It is exciting to see your greyhound win no matter where it is. Also, if you place your greyhound correctly, you can hit up the bookies and make your money there.

Greyhound syndication is fun and exciting. If you take in to consideration the two things I’ve mentioned above your time as an owner should be fun and exciting.
