I am Jamie Smith, from Lancashire, England. I am a Durham University graduate who has also graduated with a Stud Management diploma from the National Stud, UK. As well as stud experience, I have worked on the syndication of racehorses and more recently spent a period of time with racehorse trainer Nigel Tinkler based in Malton. I am extremely honoured to be given the opportunity to participate in the Godolphin Flying Start programme and look forward to enhancing my horsemanship and leadership skills to establish a successful career within the thoroughbred industry. I have completed Godolphin Flying Start externships with Chris Waller Racing in Sydney and with Michael Stidham Racing in Maryland USA.
