It has been another extremely successful year for
Team Dynamic, both on and off the track, leaving us extremely excited for what
2016 has on offer.
Leading into the Christmas period gives us a time to reflect on the past 12 months.
The year that was - 2015.
A year filled with highs and lows, tears of joy and sorrow, a year of
sometimes despair but more often gratitude, a year that has provided
many good memories along the way, cemented friendships and finally
offers hope that 2016 becomes the year you want it to be !
NEW ADDITION:
DYNAMIC formed a NEW ALLIANCE with Hall Of Fame Champion Trainer and Australian Living Treasure
GAI WATERHOUSE.
It's been a fun filled and exciting ride as we have introduced new horses into the master trainer's system and our mutual efforts are bearing fruit.
Whilst we remain committed to spreading horses around various high profile racing stables
Dynamic Syndications & Gai Waterhouse Racing have entered into an arrangement
where Dynamic Syndications are the Primary Syndicator to Gai's stable.
Just some of the our Owners Dynamic introduced to Gai during 2015
ON THE TRACK:
In the past 12 months,
Dynamic Syndications purchased / syndicated horses have won
43 races (includes
10 Metropolitan Wins).
In the current
2015/16 Racing Season (commenced 1st August)
Dynamic Syndications horses have won 18 races.
The recent win of talented mare
DEFINE brought our statistics up to the following level:
Since our first starter was a winner in
October 2005:
Number of Yearlings Purchased by Dynamic Syndications to have Raced = 173
Number of Individuals to have WON = 150 ( 86.7% Runners : Winners )
Number of Individuals to have EARNED PRIZEMONEY = 168 ( 97.1% Runners : Earners )
Number of Races Won = 447
Prizemoney Won by Dynamic Syndications Horses since October 2005 = Over $12.8 million.
IN THE OFFICE
On the back of a record year in 2014, we have eclipsed that mark again in 2015.
However steady growth set by good foundations for the previous 3 years
literally mushroomed in 2014 and this was
bettered again in 2015.
We achieved
record sales by both share volume (up 8%) and Gross Sales (up 25%).
Adam Watt
Specifically, we thank
Adam Watt – who is in charge of our
Sales, Marketing and New Business Development.
Adam rose to incredible heights in 2015, syndicating just on
20 horses for Dynamic Syndications, currently having placed 399 out of 400 individual 5% shares into the marketplace to date (up 8%), with gross sales of approximately $3.6 million (up 25%).
Such was the demand for
Dynamic Syndications purchased yearlings, we were
SOLD OUT of
our 2015 purchases by early December.
Adam's enthusiasm and depth of knowledge
of the racing industry is a pillar to our team.
Specifically his
ability to map out races and engage jockeys for Dynamic horses has been
an instrumental part of reaching a record year on the track and in the
office.
Adam got off to a booming start to the year with plenty of trading
taking place on the back of some fantastic racetrack results we were
achieving.
The middle third of the year was significantly slower, the
Winter Racing and wet tracks didn't set our clients imaginations alight
but we had a steady stream of inquires and sales to keep us active and
moving along.
However the final third of the 2015 really had our office in a frenzy,
with the spring carnival in the forefront of people's minds, combined
with the fact that our team of Dynamic trainers were on fire, our
remaining stock Sold Out in a matter of weeks.
The phone has continued to run hot since we put up the Sold Out sign,
with many keen thoroughbred enthusiasts trying to get involved with a
nice horse before Christmas.
Such has been the demand, we felt it important to release into the market a fabulous filly that Dynamic had purchased to race privately with Gai.
We have placed this and at time of writing this review we have just
5% remaining in this
FOXWEDGE / DE LAGO LASS Filly and we will be
SOLD OUT of her as well.
With the 2016 sales season around the corner and we are
confident we will be able to continue meeting our client base needs.
Peter Wagstaff
Our
Client Liaison Officer Peter Wagstaff
was his usual busy self, pushing out our never ending client updates
for all our horses.
As for customer service, our friendly and diligent Peter sees another
year pass where the management team are delighted to have received the
continued compliments by email, phone calls and chats in person about
Peter's happy disposition.
Our clients develop a genuine bond with Peter, who is their contact
point at Dynamic.
He reports to clients as a minimum every week and
follows up with phone calls and attends to the requests of our clients
wherever possible.
He always does a terrific job for Dynamic and we are
delighted to have Peter in our team.
Having changed the style of message delivery we employ from specific email updates in written format, to emails containing audio reports has allowed for greater in depth reporting and pre and post-race analysis. The information flow has been spectacular
and now that we are encouraging many of our trainers to deliver email
audio reports to us as well, the information flow has never been greater
for owners in our industry and we are justifiably proud of the positive
feedback from our owners.
Fiona Watt
With record sales comes massive administration.
Fiona Watt our Chief Financial Officer has seen her workload increase by almost
33% for the 2015 year.
Fiona has been fantastic under the increased workloads caused by the rapid fire selling by Adam.
This requires Fiona to keep on top of the mountains of paperwork generated running
the Dynamic Syndications accounts, keeping both our accountants and
also our auditors satisfied, she also has responsibilities to ensure:
AFS License compliance is met, Racing NSW and RISA registrations are completed along with the standard reporting, BAS reports,
individual Trust Account requirements, distribution of 400 Product
Disclosure Statements, Syndicate Deeds and Invoicing.
Fiona is certainly looking forward to her
Well Deserved end of year break.
Our high exposure on the internet and social media, saw significant growth in traffic over 12 months.
We've been working away on the back end of all
our IT development and social media platforms because as our business
grows, so does the demands on internet data.
With now over 9,750

exposure on Linkedin and an active email database of over 15,000, the

On the racetrack, 2016 may prove to be one of the most exciting years for Team Dynamic.
A number of our 2015 crop of yearlings are getting ready to hit the track with the big season 2yo races in the Autumn of 2015.
Also many of our 2012 and 2013 crops are being aimed for the Autumn and Winter Carnivals.
Especially with the successful running of the “THE CHAMPIONSHIPS” and
the revamped Autumn Carnival, racing has never been more lucrative and
the massive prizemoney injections have made our sport highly rewarding.
We have a dozen or more that on what they have / are showing their
trainers, could go on to earn Black Type for our clients over the coming
months.
To those clients that have been with us for sometime, a very big
“thank you” especially goes to you !
We’re humbled you choose Dynamic Syndications and appreciative that you
find our service and information flow to your ongoing satisfaction.
