This is a different kind of podcast. Rather than talk to an established racehorse syndicator, we introduce a man who has just started out in a tough business.
David Thompson talks of a love of racing born when he struck a profitable Caulfield/Melbourne Cup double in 1993.
He recalls the win by Fraar and the dream that led him to coupling the horse with a bank of Melbourne Cup runners. He bought a car out of the winnings.
Dave talks of a job redundancy and a sudden illness that laid him low for a full year.
He recalls the support of wife Jacqui who encouraged him to have a crack at racehorse syndication.
Dave recalls his first yearling sale at Scone, and the second at Inglis 2018 Classic Sale. So far he’s purchased only three yearlings. One is yet to be syndicated.
He talks of the people who’ve joined him so far with a couple of touching stories thrown in.
Dave reflects on the TAB Sponsorship that allowed Thompson Thoroughbreds to sponsor a race at Albury.
This is a bloke who’s following a dream.
