The Australian racehorse syndication sector has seen significant growth over the past 30 years, with one in every 201 Australians owning a share in a racehorse, making Australia a global leader in racehorse ownership. This expansion has introduced complex regulatory and compliance challenges, as syndicated ownership is treated as a managed investment by ASIC, requiring syndicators and their staff to hold appropriate licenses and meet education and competency standards. To address these challenges and promote ethical practices, stable Connect partnered with Kaplan Professional to develop a digital education program, Investing In Horse Syndicates, aimed at enhancing regulatory understanding and professionalism within the industry.

The course, designed to be completed over 12 weeks, provides clear, practical education on the operation and regulation of horse racing syndicates, targeting those involved in promoting or selling syndicated interests. By offering structured learning without assuming prior financial expertise, the program seeks to build confidence among participants, ensuring they understand their responsibilities and the risks involved. This initiative reflects a proactive effort by the industry to set benchmarks and encourage best practices, reinforcing trust and professionalism at the intersection of sport and financial participation.
