Just been enlightened by a certain person who owns 22% of Fields Of Omagh, that early in it's career, a jockey said "it's got square wheels".
No prizes for guessing what that meant.

It also brings up a point of ownership (without mentioning any names).
If person "A" owns 22% of FOO, and person "B" heads a syndicate of at least 20 "shareholders" and at least "C" "D" & "E" equal partners in addition, then there ain't much left to go around!

ROUGH GUESTIMATE
$3,247,890 in prizemoney.
5 seperate syndicate owners = $649,578
1 syndicate with at least twenty owners = $32,478.90
You have to deduct off this the trainer's percentage, the jockey's percentage, nomination fees and training fees.

Is there much left for each member of syndicate "A" ????
Still it's the thrill of owning a winner I guess.
