30/10/2015 - Started a punters club

16/11/2015 - We were doing so well we thought we would buy a horse

18/11/2015 - We discovered horse ownership was really expensive and thought how about a greyhound

24/11/2015 - We almost bought 15% of a greyhound (Swanny) and where talked out of it by some very helpful people in the greyhound industry that said he was very overpriced (turns out the dog never ended up racing!)

26/11/2015 - Decided to do it ourselves and start our own syndication. We called it Against All Advice Syndications or AAA Syndications.

29/11/2015 - Purchased our first dog (Lilly La Rue), she had 14 owners with majority being their first time
