Did you hear the one about the professional golfer, the postman and the poet?

What do a professional golfer, a postman and a poet have in common? The answer is a seven-year-old mare called Cabaret Queen, a leading fancy for the JT McNamara Ladbrokes Munster National at Limerick on Sunday.

The aforementioned trio are part of Syndicates.Racing, a syndicate comprising 69 members set up by Jack Cantillon, who snapped up the daughter of King's Theatre for £13,000 from Dan Skelton at the Goffs horses-in-training sale in May.

Cabaret Queen was sent to Willie Mullins and finished second on her stable debut in a handicap chase at Listowel last month. She is now a general 8-1 shot for the Munster National, worth €100,000 in prize-money, and Cantillon is buzzing with excitement.

"I bought Cabaret Queen in May and what I have done is divide the shares into 100 units. You can own anything from one per cent to ten per cent. There are 69 of us on the WhatsApp group for Cabaret Queen and it has already been incredible fun. I suppose there are more members than your traditional syndicate and less than your traditional club," said Cantillon.

He added: "It's all about feeling the experience of ownership and being a part of the journey. There are all sorts in the syndicate. We have a professional golfer, a postman and a poet. It is all very exciting ahead of Sunday."

Other members include 'roses and their male escorts' from the annual Rose Of Tralee pageant at the end of August.

Only Galway Plate third Snugsborough Benny is shorter in the market than Cabaret Queen, and Cantillon is convinced she has a cracking chance if she sneaks in at the foot of the weights.

Cantillon said: "I thought Cabaret Queen might be a good buy as she was quite keen with the Skeltons and a bit overexuberant with her jumping. She would have given The Big Lense a bigger fright with more luck at Listowel and he has won at Navan since, so a literal reading of the form would give her a great chance.

"She ran to an RPR of 133 at Worcester last summer, so we're hoping she has a great chance off 124. The one worry I would have is soft ground, which will not help her."
