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, amongst others, 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.
"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. You will enjoy your racing with David Lyons and if his past record is a guide, it will be a profitable ride too." Richard Pitman 28th May 2005
Pat Wood
Pat Wood is Blue Sky's Administrator with a capital ‘A’. Pat has been working with David for the last four years and was in at the birth of the business in 2006. Pat is a likeable, approachable and down-to-earth first point of contact for all of our clients. If anyone has any queries or issues, they can ring Pat anytime and she will never fail to help them out.
Kanlaya (Jak)
Although Jak is the new addition to the team (joining Blue Sky as trainee administrator and office clerk in 2008) she is fully conversant with the workings of the Blue Sky business. She brings the energy of youth to the office and reminds David that he has to put his 'brilliant' ideas into practice, as they won't just happen in the ether. Like Pat, Jak is friendly and enthusiastic and will be hosting the forthcoming Blue Sky race days with David.
