Dave, or as he is more affectionately known as, ‘Sults’, is a thoroughbred racing enthusiast and form analyst, primarily focusing on racing in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.

It wasn’t until the age of 25 that he began to develop an interest in the racing analysis side of the sport. Illness and some time off work saw him spending time at home during the week, watching the horse racing and in the process, becoming fascinated with all the different variables that can go into horse performance in any given race.

The prospect of a new challenge and the excitement of immersing himself in all things horse racing took over his life and from that moment, a love of all things racing began to run deep. Dave has love of analysing sectionals, times, data, replays and of course, the animals themselves. In December 2018, he started up a Twitter page and coined himself ‘The Sultan of Sydney’, where he offered tips and insight into races, with a leaning to a focus on NSW metro form. This quickly expanded to a focus on other racing jurisdictions and as time went on, his knowledge of the sport continued to develop and evolve.

Dave loves nothing more than backing a gutsy on pacer that gives their all and he learned the hard way that unless it all falls into place, back markers are money munchers! He plies his trade as a form analyst for the highly respected Racing.com team and has managed to turn his passion into a budding career.
