THIS month, the Flying Start contingent split up across America for our work placements. Placements as one of the biggest benefits of Flying Start. For five weeks, you are able to work in an environment that is practical and conducive to learning. Our American placement is the first on the course and we will also have the opportunity to work outside of Godolphin in Australia, Dubai, and Europe.

Work placements can be in any field of the industry, with Flying Start providing an open door for trainees to get in with some of the most respected figures in the game. Placement location is decided in a collaborative effort between the trainee and course manager Clodagh Kavanagh. Many trainees settle on placements in their specific chosen career aspiration, but any experience within the industry cohesively ties into the larger picture of racing.
