What if you aren’t satisfied with just betting on the puppies?

For those people who aren’t satisfied enough with just watching and betting on the greyhound racing they may want to consider becoming even deeper involved with greyhound racing by becoming an owner of a racing hound. If you are new to the greyhound game then you may be unfamiliar with the needs of these animals as far as training and medical health and dietary needs goes and you may also lack the money needed to invest in a greyhound on your own and to pay for the constant needs to keep the racing animal in top condition. If a person finds themselves in this kind of a situation where they have the desire to own a greyhound but lack the funds and or the expertise then a great alternative to consider would be to become involved in greyhound syndication.

What is greyhound syndication?

Greyhound syndication is where a group of people are joint owners of a greyhound rather than just one singular person. In a greyhound syndication the costs associated with keeping and maintaining a racing greyhound are distributed evenly amongst the owners, as is any prize money the greyhound earns. This is an ideal way to become a very involved member of the greyhound racing community without all the expenses, which are incurred as a full-time, solo owner. Syndicates need to be registered using a syndication registration form and a modest fee must also be paid. This fee can be split even between the prospective owners. After this has been done the greyhound can then be purchased if not already done and the ownership can then be transferred to the syndicate.
