BENNETT Racing is looking to build on a successful run in the past 12 months as it looks ahead to the fast-approaching spring season.<\/p>\n

Nathan Bennett, founder of the Geelong-based horseracing syndicate<\/a>, said there had been exceptional results from their crop of horses.<\/p>\n

For stakes-performing horses, Bennett Racing is triking at a 29 percent win or place rate, which is on par with the industry benchmark.<\/p>\n

The syndicate had seven individual stakes winners in 2024, earning a total of just over $6 million in prize money.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pretty large for a small group, we\u2019re not a big syndicator or anything,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully we can strive towards those [numbers] again this year and have another record-breaking season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bennett said preparations were tracking well for the coming season, which begins in September, and named some horses for punters to keep an eye on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a filly called Military Tycoon who is more than likely going to resume in the Moir Stakes, which is a Group 1 at Moonee Valley.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s usually a pretty good starting point for those two-year-old fillies that had a good campaign as a two-year-old. She\u2019s come back good, she\u2019s trialled up well and she\u2019ll head that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got a mare called Snitzanova who\u2019s returned back into work now. She\u2019ll be sort of back end of Spring when she\u2019s ready and maybe towards the summer races.<\/p>\n

\u201cBaraqiel, he\u2019s heading towards the Manikato Stakes, which is Grand Final Eve. He\u2019s got the form on the board and he\u2019s just got to stay sound, and if we can keep him sound he\u2019ll hopefully win us a big one over the Spring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fawkner Park is another horse hoping to be invited to race in Hong Kong, which Bennett said would be an incredible experience for the owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would be pretty exciting for all the owners to get the horse to Hong Kong and head over there and have a bit of a race trip, which would be unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jimmy Recard and Stay Cosmic are two colts both hoping to feature in the Caulfield Guineas in October.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019d be a big achievement if we can get both colts in the Guineas,\u201d Bennett said.<\/p>\n

Horseracing syndicates are designed to allow the average punter to join the thrill of horseracing by purchasing shares for a reasonable price. Ownership prices can vary from $1,000 to $5,000.<\/p>\n
