Dr. Liz Pathak, a veterinarian at Woodbine since 2003, has been one of the twelve people chosen each year to attend the Darley Flying Start Program.
The 27-year-old leaves for the program in August which will run through to the end of July 2008.
According to their website, The Darley Flying Start is a unique management training programme established by Darley Stud. It is designed to prepare you for a career in racing or breeding for those who have the passion and commitment to get to the top.
Liz was accepted out of the more than 200 applicants who apply each year.
Over the next two years she will be living and learning in Kentucky in the USA; Dubai in the UAE; Newmarket in Britain, County Kildare in Ireland, and the Hunter Valley in Australia. Tuition is free and you are even provided with a living allowance.
Liz says that she has always wanted to be a veterinarian and began galloping horses at Woodbine in 1998 while attending the University of Guelph. She graduated from the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine course at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in 2001 and Dr. Ted
Coker “snapped her up” as a technician.
“It is very exciting.” said Liz about her upcoming Darley Flying Start adventure, “It will be great to see how it’s done in different
places.”
Fuel Your Horse’s
POTENTIAL
“You have to put first-rate feed in front of horses to bring them up to their full potential. All natural Equavena hulless oats are bred to be better. You can see the quality in these firm, meaty, easy to digest oats. And Equavena’s high oil content not only helps horses stay in good flesh but also gives them what every jockey hopes for—that critical bit of stored energy to call on as you round the last turn.”
Horseman and seven times Hall of Fame jockey Ron Turcotte who rode Secretariat into Triple Crown history knows what it takes to make a winner.
“Feed the Oats Bred to Give a Winning Edge”
