Whether you are investing a little or a lot it is always good to have peace of mind that you are dealing with a reputable person or company alike. Some of our shareholders have taken the time to write about their personal experience with Tineke and InToWin Syndication Ltd
Tineke is one of the most charismatic, innovative people I have met. We would best describe her as a multitalented hybrid. From organising social and corporate events, MC'ing, administration, Bloodstock management right down to the hands on selection, agistment the list goes on. I have been involved with many syndicates over the years and find InToWin leaves the rest for dead. Even if we are not winning we are still well looked after and informed. Tineke's talents certainly go far and beyond Syndication as she would say ...She's smarter than she looks!! G & H Wilson
Tineke has the perfect personality and background to run thoroughbred racing syndicates. As a recently joined member of one of her syndicates, and having worked with her in the Awapuni office of RACE for several years I can fully vouch for her responsible can-do attitude, knowledge of the Racing Industry and organisational skills. Combine those attributes with a bubbly personality and a wicked sense of humour and you have a top operator. I have every confidence that her syndicate members will have lots of fun at an affordable cost – which is what it is all about at the end of the day, whether the horses we race are fast, slow or middle-of-the-pack! We are in it for the love of the racing game with a group of like-minded people.

I am a life-long racing lover, now entering retirement and looking to expand my passion. Many years ago my parents raced horses, and I have kept my father’s colours registered and used them in another syndicate, with good success. Now, when I am looking to develop my interest longer term, along has come Tineke and her wonderful ideas for setting up local and national syndicates of friends, old and new. Earlier this year I joined her Race Inc. syndicate, and already we have had some good runs with the very promising Queen of Spades. I have been blown away by Tineke's innovative approach to doing things, fabulously, and with exemplary communication. Tineke impresses me as another passionate race lover, and I encourage all to join her in the wonderful thrill that is racing.
Best wishes in all you do.

Tineke Balcombe runs the IN TO WIN racing syndicate.I have an interest in two horses in Tineke's syndicates and can say I am very pleased with how everything is run.
As a member of two of her syndicates I can say I am regularly kept informed of how things are going with the horses I am involved with regardless of whether the news is good or bad.I also get information on how horses in other syndicates are going which helps to promote feelings that we are all part of a bigger team a feeling that I enjoy.
Tineke has organized events such as breakfast with our stars where we have attended track work and seen all of her horses working.Events such as these have given us all the opportunity to meet and socialize with people from other syndicates and make new friendships.
Syndicates are structured financially to cater for all budgets sometimes going down to as little as 2.5% shares which makes participation financially very affordable for anybody wanting to be involved in a horse.
Another arrangement I really like is that costs are on a one annual payment basis.I make one payment and then forget about costs.This certainly helps when things are not going quite as well as hoped.
In conclusion I would say Tineke runs a friendly,professional and well organized operation and I would have no hesitation in recommending anybody thinking of getting involved with racing a horse to contact Tineke and discuss the INTOWIN syndicate opportunities she has to offer.

I have been in a number of racing syndicates over the past thirty years and the things I value most are information and communication. Well, you have delivered in “spades” as far as I am concerned.
From day one the flow of relevant information around Queen of Spades has been super. This began with the easy to follow website and then the personal information that I inquired about. I received it promptly, nothing was too much trouble. The In To Win syndicates go beyond in that owners events are planned, such as attending training sessions and race days as a group.
The Facebook page and group emails regarding the horse are great and as an owner I am kept right up to date as to what is happening.
Keep up the good work.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment a small investment in the RACE Inc syndicate has given me. Tineke has continued to keep all members up to date with the horses progress through excellent communication. She is always looking for ways to add extra value and excitement for the syndicate. The racehorse was carefully selected and is racing accordingly, giving us the thrill of racing and the owners privileges at an affordable price

I have been involved in the Intowin Elegant Emerald Syndicate for 2years and have been impressed from day one by the communication and proactiveness of our Syndicate Manager Tineke, we receive Monthly newsletters about not only the horse I am involved in but also other syndicated horses, Tineke also makes interaction fun whether race day or a trackwork viewing, there is always something going on, so first time owners can get a real feel for an intro into this exciting industry. When I have ventured to the North Island for race meetings Tineke will always make time for me to see hands on my horse whether he’s racing or not, Tineke has long term friendly helpful staff who treat each horse as if it’s their own.

We first met Tineke when we joined the In To Win syndicate and got our first horse Queen of Spades. Tineke is excellent in what she does, friendly and keeps everyone well informed about what is happening with the horse etc. We are about to get a 2nd horse so more exciting times ahead.
We have no hesitation in recommending Tineke to anyone keen to join a racing syndicate.

My wife and I bought shares in two horses a year ago. They were unraced and rising 2 year olds.
We knew very little about horse ownership and syndicates.
We contacted Tineke through the Intowin website for details.
The response we got was very quick and full of information. I had a few questions, all of which were answered promptly and with courtesy.
To date the information back to shareholders has been fantastic, regular updates and photos/videos of the horses.
We have been kept in the loop all the way through.
We have nothing but the highest of praise for Tineke and the work she is doing on our behalf.
We would thoroughly recommend Intowin syndicates to anyone who is keen to race/lease a horse.
Kind regards

I would like to recommend Intowin Mega Sydnicate and Tineke Balcombe, to anyone that is looking at been a part of a racing syndicate. This a very reasonable priced sydnicate to get into with a moderate monthly cost, Tineke keeps you well informed on your horses through newsletters via emails, Facebook posts, Trail pictures, and jockey interviews.
You are kept well informed of what is going on with your horse, and also Tineke organises days out to the races, breakfast morning, so you can go along and watch your horse work, and get to meet other owners, not many syndicates are as well looked after as Intowin Mega Sydnicate, and that is thanks to Tineke, and all her hard work.
Thanks Angeline Porter

I am very new to the world of racehorse ownership, and it has been wonderful having Tineke to guide me through. She is a great communicator, and very good at keeping us up to date with how our horse is going and anything else we need to know. During Level 2 she organised a ZOOM for all of our syndicate when our horse was having her second outing, which was fantastic. I am looking forward to many more years of absolute fun with her as part of this syndicate.
Cheers,

It is my pleasure to provide this testimonial to support Tineke Balcombe, Director of various racing syndicates in the central districts region. Personally as a former steward of the Manawatu Racing Club, I was involved in many racing promotions and activities supported by Tineke and during that time I found her to be approachable and honest with a high level of integrity. I recommend Tineke to anyone intending to join one of her approved racing syndicates. She has worked tirelessly for the good of the local racing industry in her important administrative roles within the RACE Inc. group, for many years.

We have found the Syndicate to be a very affordable and fun way to get involved in the horse racing industry. You have kept us very well informed about our horses including picking our trainers, letting us name our horses, regular training and racing updates, videos of our horses, getting the members together on Zoom during lockdown and making us feel like we are big time racing owners.
Owning just a small bit of a horse is exciting and it is like watching one of your children participate in a competition. We have very much enjoyed the social events you have organised for the members at different trials and meets. The events have not only been fun with lots of games and food but also a chance to meet some new people with similar interests.
Very well done Tineke and I would recommend to anyone wanting to get involved in horse racing to join one of your syndicates.
Thanks

Over the years I have been involved in a few horse syndicates some good some average and the majority poorly run.
I joined the Darci B syndicate early this year which was put together by Miss Balcombe out of Palmerston North.
Communication
Well, what a breathe of fresh air. On the dot every month Miss Balcombe sends out updates on our horse and even twice a month on occasions. I personally have never experienced such great communication. In past syndicates you would be lucky if you got an update once every three months.
Professionalism
We all have a few rough edges that need sorting out. Miss Balcombe must have learnt the way and sorted these out before she went into business as I for one give here 9 out of 10 for Professionalism.
Please do not hesitate to contact the writer if you feel the need.
