Tony Esler, the Director of Delta Bloodstock Management Ltd can draw on a wealth of experience in racing gained over more than 35 years in the business.

Tony's experience in the Bloodstock Industry started in the late sixties when, after leaving the Army, he went to Ireland to ride as an Amateur. Starting off with Aubrey Brabazon, rider of the great COTTAGE RAKE, he then became Stable Amateur to firstly Paddy Sleator followed by a move to Newmarket and Sir Mark Prescott; both men long recognized as masters of their craft. Throughout the 1970's as well as riding some 30 winners on the flat, Tony worked as Assistant Trainer to firstly Harvey Leader, then Jeremy Hindley, besides fitting in a Stud season with the legendary Mme Couturie, breeder of Arc de Triomphe winner RIGHT ROYAL, at Haras du Mesnil.

During the 1980's Tony's career moved into Bloodstock shipping when he ran the European Air Department of one of the leading companies with overall responsibility for flying runners and breeding stock throughout Europe.

In 1991 Tony started Delta Bloodstock Management principally to create and manage select racehorse Partnerships for small groups of racing enthusiasts. This soon developed however and DBM now buys for both the flat and jumping markets here and overseas.

To keep 'hands on' and always in touch with the grass roots of our Industry, Tony rides two lots daily for the very successful Michael Jarvis, trainer of Prince of Wales & Champion Stakes victor RAKTI.
