Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 4, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 4, 2018 Ivo Thomas, 24, has been appointed the assistant manager of Tweenhills Farm & Stud, the base of Qatar Racing’s stallions, Qatar Racing announced on Thursday. Thomas will assist with the day-to-day running of the stud, stallion nominations, client relations and will also be a point of contact for enquiries. “Ivo has a lot of experience for somebody so young and we’re thrilled to have him join the team,” said Tweenhills Manager David Redvers. “Roaring Lion has been a huge success for Qatar Racing on the track, but in the breeding sheds we have seen the success of Charm Spirit (Ire), Havana Gold (Ire) and Hot Streak (Ire) this season. With Zoustar (Aus) and Lightning Spear (GB) set to join next season, another pair of hands for the team was essential and Ivo fit the bill perfectly. We’re looking to build a backroom team here at Tweenhills which matches the talent we have at the stud and on the racecourse.” Previously Thomas spent a year in Australia with trainer Matt Cumani and he was an assistant trainer to Brian Meehan for three years before his Australian stint after receiving the John Durkan Award while graduating from the Irish National Stud. “I’m very excited to be joining the Qatar Racing team at Tweenhills,” said Thomas. “My dream of becoming a jockey died pretty quickly as I was growing up and I got my first break in the industry here four years go. I spent a year here learning the ropes and it’s great to be back. This is a growing stud on the up and is going in the right direction very quickly. We’ve got some wonderful stallions already standing here and have the potential for more to come.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
