Have you met Wylie Dalziel Roy Higgins Racing❓

7 Dec 2023

Dalziel Racing, under the leadership of Wylie Dalziel, stands out as a thriving force in the realm of racehorse syndication and bloodstock management.

Wylie's journey into the racing industry took an unconventional turn, commencing his professional life as a chef. Intriguingly, it was his culinary career that steered him deeper into the world of racing, prompting him to exchange his apron for the role of one of the nation's most accomplished horse syndicators.

Wylie's initial employment at Chefs on the Run, became the springboard for his venture into the racing syndication arena. With the support of his employers, he initiated Chefs on the Run racing syndicate. In a curious twist of fate, Wylie, dressed in his chef's attire, became a fixture at the metropolitan races each Saturday, courtesy of his involvement in a radio competition called The Punting Chef.

It was during these encounters that Wylie crossed paths with the legendary Roy Higgins. Seizing the opportunity, he shared his profound love for horses and racing with the former jockey, laying the foundation for a partnership that saw Higgins offering guidance on yearling purchases and ultimately joining forces with Dalziel.

A dedicated racing enthusiast for over two decades, Wylie Dalziel immersed himself in various facets of the industry. His journey included roles as a stable hand and a bookmaker's clerk, coupled with a keen presence as a racegoer and an early morning track work observer.

This rich tapestry of experience laid the groundwork for his evolution into syndication, with Wylie absorbing invaluable knowledge from industry experts across the wide spectrum of the sport 🏇
