Two Decades of Racing Insight

I began my career as a tipster on radio and television before establishing my own advisory business, providing insights and guidance to racing enthusiasts and professionals alike.

My journey continued as a racehorse owner — successfully placing my own horses and experiencing firsthand the rewards of carefully planned race entries. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what it takes to maximise a horse's potential on race day.

I am now launching a focused consultancy aimed at racehorse trainers and owners, delivering targeted support in race planning and performance analysis where informed decision-making is everything.

Every Horse Treated as an Individual

At the heart of the work is a simple belief: every horse, whatever its grade, deserves a plan that gives it the best chance to fulfil its potential.

Whether a horse is a higher-class prospect, a young horse still learning, an ordinary handicapper or a more limited performer, the aim is the same: to understand what it needs, identify the right conditions, and support better race-planning decisions.

  • Advisory Business Founded own advisory firm providing insights to racing enthusiasts and industry professionals.
