Arrowfield snare Darley graduate

Last Friday's Thoroughbred Daily News carried news of the Darley Flying Start Graduation Day.

"Two years ago, 12 students set out on a journey that traversed five countries and covered just about every aspect of the Thoroughbred industry. All 12 stayed the course, graduating in a ceremony at Dalham Hall Stud in Newmarket, England yesterday.

"Darley Flying Start, the brainchild of Sheikh Mohammed, kicked off with a four-month stay in Ireland and England. After a Christmas break, the students traveled to the U.S. and spent six months in Kentucky. A summer holiday was followed by four months in Australia. The Darley dozen headed to Dubai at the beginning of 2005, spending more than three months in Sheikh Mohammed’s home country, then returned to Ireland for the last three months of the program. The subjects covered ranged from horsemanship and stud management, to pedigree analysis and information technology, to insurance, marketing and advertising."

Great news for former Sydney lawyer Stuart Boman who was not only part of the inaugural intake - but has secured a role at Arrowfield Stud in the Hunter Valley.
