The strength of Blue Sky Racing Club lies with the people involved and the expertise they share with our members. Everyone who is part of the Club, from the trainers to the tipping team, has been picked by David Lyons to form a winning combination.
David Lyons
David's racing career began at the stables of Martin Pipe as a pupil assistant trainer in 1984, from where he moved on to be a jockeys' agent for six jockeys between 1987-92, handling Richard Guest and Billy Newnes in the process. In 1985 David landed his first journalist position with the Racing & Football Outlook and over the course of the next 17 years David wrote for; The Sporting Life and SL Weekender, The Racing Post and The Western Morning News. The benefit of this grounding in the game was clearly seen with David's tipping service www.dailydabble.com, which made a year on year profit for four of its five years of trading between 2001-2006.
David has experienced racing from every angle and this unique expertise puts Blue Sky Racing Club at a considerable advantage. He isn't simply endorsing the Club, he is living and breathing it and wants to use his knowledge and connections to benefit its members and make Blue Sky Racing Club a success.
Pat Wood
Pat Wood is Bluesky's administrator with a Capital A. Pat has been working with David for the last 3 years and was in at the birth of the business in 2005. A trained Bookkeeper Pat runs her own bookkeeping business PAL Office Solutions Ltd in addition to her work for BS.
Kanlaya (Jak)
Jak, as she is known by, is the new addition to the team, joining BS as trainee administrator and office clerk on 1st April 2008. She brings the energy of youth to the office, reminds David that he has to put his 'brilliant' ideas into practice, they won't just happen in the ether, and will be hosting BS racedays with David, Andy and Paul.
"Having known and worked with David Lyons for some years, I am totally behind his venture Blue Sky Racing Club. Those who have dealt with him before will leap at the chance to be part of this involvement, which shrewdly encompasses a seven strong band of trainers who between them have consistently served up good winners and known when they would do so. You will enjoy your racing with David Lyons and if his past record is a guide, it will be a profitable ride too."
