We estimate that, under normal circumstances, per 5% unit, the average fee will be $6.85 per day

to approximately $2,500 per annum) per 1/20th (5%) participant unit, will cover the normal annual
agistment, training and other miscellaneous expenses charged by the trainer and suppliers and any
other racing related expenses incurred by the syndicate. The monthly fee above is exclusive of
GST. Payments will be due and payable by each of the syndicate participants directly to the Trainer
and any other industry suppliers within 30 days of receipt of an invoice.
The above amount is an estimate only and the total amounts invoiced and payable will vary from
month to month.
The above amount is calculated based upon the currently quoted Training, Pre-Training, Agistment,
Transport, and all other industry associated costs as at the time of the creation of this document.
These costs are subject to periodical review and potential change from the suppliers. We are unable
to give any guarantees that individual suppliers will not change their service supply rates throughout
the term of this syndicates lease.
Syndicate participants are required to meet their registered percentage of the ongoing horse
husbandry and management expenses from the 1st August 2013 until termination of the lease.
These expenses from the suppliers will be accounted monthly in arrears. All syndicate participants
are only liable to meet their own expenses. No syndicate member is liable for any other third party’s
debt.
If any invoices payable by a syndicate member remains outstanding for a period of longer than 92
days, then the Administration Manager has the right to cancel that participants percentage and offer
this to another member or independent third party, provided that final written notice of the pending
sale has been forwarded to the defaulting member’s last known address 14 days before any
proposed repossession / cancellation takes place. The defaulting syndicate participant remains
personally liable for any unpaid debt.
Each member appoints the Administration Manager as its attorney to give effect to entering into a
contract on their behalf to engage the services of a trainer or any industry supplier to train or supply
service to the syndicates leased horse and indemnifies the Administration Manager (and its officers
and employees), the Racing Manager and the Dean Watt Thoroughbreds Pty Ltd trading as
Dynamic Syndications (its officers and employees) against any claims made by the trainer or
suppliers against any syndicate members outstanding accounts owed to the trainer or to the
suppliers for goods or services supplied in the training and or care of the syndicate’s horse .
Details of Syndicate Participants inherent financial risk in racing thoroughbreds: Each
syndicate member acknowledges that thoroughbred racing is highly speculative. Whilst the purpose
of the syndicate is to race for entertainment, recreational sport and financial return, not all
racehorses win, place, earn prizemoney or start in a race or barrier trial.
No guarantees can ever be implied or given by any party that any thoroughbred offered by Dynamic
Syndications is assured of any racetrack success and syndicate participants who proceed to race this
horse do so fully accepting they may incur expenses without any financial return.
Dean Watt Thoroughbreds Pty Ltd trading as Dynamic Syndications (and its officers and
employees), as the creator and facilitator of this lease do not accept any liability from any
participant against any potential financial losses any syndicate member could potentially incur
based upon the execution of the Administration and Racing Management services throughout the
term of the lease or due to unsuccessful racetrack performance or illness or injury or the early
termination of the leased thoroughbred in accordance with standard industry practice. This clause is
to be read in conjunction with the clause STATEMENT OF STANDARD INDUSTRY RISKS -

is distributed equally as per the syndicate members registered participation.
The Process of the Prizemoney Distribution: All prizemoney won will be received by direct
deposit into Dynamic Syndications Westpac Trust Account specifically created for the receipt of
prizemoney of this leased horse and then disbursed within 21 days to the bank accounts as supplied

suppliers prior to the expiry of the 30 days written notice (c) Payment of an early lease termination

A statement regarding any perceived conflict of interest: Dynamic Syndications have declared
on our website information page relating to this lease and also declare in this document that we
have a working relationship with the Lessor Emirates Park Stud.
Dynamic Syndications does not rely upon the promotion of horse racing schemes as its sole source
of income. Dynamic Syndications and its Responsible Officer, as a recognised industry expert,
derive additional income from various consultancies, marketing, promotion, training or other horse
racing industry related business activities, for which a commercial fee may be charged or a
commercial discount may be received. The thoroughbred racing industry is a small and specialised
industry with a restricted supply base. These characteristics of the industry make it probable that
Dynamic Syndications (including its directors and/or employees) has had past business dealings or
has current or ongoing dealings with suppliers; for example, with the lessor of horse, trainer and
veterinarians (including, for the avoidance of doubt, every supplier in relation to the horse which is
the subject of this document).
All dealings between Dynamic Syndications and such suppliers in respect of the horse(s) which are
the subject of this document have been entered into, on commercial terms and at market rates.
It is likely that the Trainer may decide to become a syndicate member in this horse. Other suppliers
may also decide to become a syndicate member in a horse. Any such participants will be on the
same terms as set out in this document, including as to the application and management fees
payable.
Information about dispute resolution available to the subscriber: Ongoing horse husbandry and
racing issues are governed by the applicable provisions of this document and the Australian Rules
of Racing.
A partner should first contact the Administration Manager to attempt to resolve any dispute in
relation to horse husbandry or racing. If the dispute has not been resolved within 5 business days of
contacting the Administration Manager, then the partner or the Administration Manager may submit
their concerns to the Stewards Department at Racing Victoria.
STATEMENT OF STANDARD INDUSTRY RISKS - Racing
(a) Not all thoroughbreds proceed to become racehorses.
(b) Racing is highly speculative. Whilst it is the purpose of the syndicate is to race for
recreational sport and financial return, not all racehorses win, place, earn prizemoney or start
in a race. No guarantees can ever be implied or given by any party that any thoroughbred
offered by Dynamic Syndications is assured of any racetrack success.
(c) Racehorses could be injured and require recuperation periods which can be expensive and
lengthy in the case of major or persistent injuries and or may be unable to race again.
(d) With the exception of well bred and highly performed entire horses, suitable to become
stallions at stud, male racehorses are unlikely to have any significant value at the end of their
racing career.
(e) A very high percentage (approximately 95%) of male racehorses are gelded as part of
standard industry practice. No guarantees are ever implied or given that any male racehorse
will not be gelded.
I confirm that:
a) The statements contained in the document in relation to the syndicate are true, and not
misleading in their form or content.
b) The document contains all information which syndicate members and their advisers
would require and reasonably expect to find in the document for the purpose of
making an informed assessment about joining the syndicate.
