FOUR Irish applicants have been successful in gaining places on Sheikh Mohammed’s Flying Start programme for 2016-18.
The two-year scholarship sees 12 trainees gain racing and bloodstock industry experience in Ireland, Britain, Dubai, Australia and the USA. The latest 12 recruits represent six different countries and will commence their training at Kildangan Stud on August 15th.
The course includes accreditation from UCD’s Michael Smurfit Business School as a Graduate Certificate in Management.
Graduates of Flying Start are running their own enterprises or working for thoroughbred industry leaders throughout the world. Career areas include media, racing, breeding, bloodstock, sales, consultancy, veterinary, racetrack management and marketing.
In August the programme will change its name from Darley Flying Start to Godolphin Flying Start. The existing course structure, content and management will remain the same. Course manager Clodagh Kavanagh said: “I look forward to launching our new name and logo in August following the graduation of the current second-year trainees and before the 2016 trainees commence.”
