Dave lives with his dog, Bruno, in Western Australia. When he can be persuaded away from horse racing news-following and writing, he enjoys spending time with his family and taking Bruno on long walks that exhaust them both.

Dave has written for At The Races, provided betting previews for the 2010 World Cup via a website he owned. It was the first time they had covered any football event. He also appeared weekly on Sing When You’re Winning – football and general sports betting show on MUTV to provide odds and tips alongside former Manchester United striker Lou Macari.
