About Us,race horse trainer, racing,racetracks

David began his career in horseracing at the age of 16 as a jockey in Australia. In 1968 David
came to the United States and started working at racetracks around the country. For several
years David helped Spendthrift Farm prepare their young horses for their introduction to racing
in Kentucky, New York and many other racing venues. He was assistant trainer to W. H. "Jinks"
Fires for 10 years. Hinsley Racing Stable officially opened for business in 1986, the same year
he married his lovely wife Sharon!

David is a hands-on trainer that views each horse as a unique individual and personality. He
works with all types of thoroughbreds - dirt, turf, sprinters, routers, fillies, colts, geldings - he
loves them all!

Our approach to the horseracing experience is to involve the owners as much as possible. We
encourage owners to get to know their horses, to participate in understanding their needs and
capabilities, and to provide input and ideas for their success.

We can assist the new owner with selection and purchase of their first racehorse! There are
many approaches to getting in to the game - we will work with you to help you achieve your
dreams! Call us and we can discuss alternatives for new owners.
