Colin has enjoyed horse racing all his life and it is his passion. The ambition was always to own a horse himself but also to enjoy the social side of the sport. With this in mind he entered a syndicate in 2008 and quickly saw success with a few horses trained by Alan King.
In 2018 Colin decided to form BDR Syndicates to share his enthusiasm for the sport. Colin is dedicated in his role as Racing Manager with a friendly, approachable and knowledgeable manner.
In order to purchase the right stock Colin does a huge amount of homework. The aim is always to buy the right horse that can win races but at a value price.
