Horse owner & breeder Max Whitby

In Part 2 Max remembers the lucky day when he bought a share in Savabeel, the Zabeel colt destined to become a Cox Plate winner and a very successful stallion. He reviews Savabeel’s racing career and his subsequent move to the famous Waikato Stud in NZ where he’s gone on to sire around 100 stakes winners. Max reflects on the devastating stock market crash of 1987. He lost everything and actually went back to work at the famous Bourbon and Beefsteak at King’s Cross. He sadly reflects on the premature passing of the girl he married when he was just 21 years old. Jen, his wife of 46 years succumbed to cancer 18 months ago. Max reflects on his Grafton Cup win with First Crush. Jen knew how badly he wanted to win that Cup, but was too ill to attend. He looks back on some of the best horses he’s owned or part owned including Honour In War who angered the crowd when he took the Villiers off Takeover Target on protest. Max talks of his love of a punt. He’s not a form student but absorbs everything he hears at the track and bets late.

Episode 178: Max Whitby (Part 2)

It was a treat to catch up with the ebullient Max Whitby. In Part 1 Max talks of his current role as Managing Director of Propex Derivatives- a respected proprietary trading firm. He explains the role of another company Envirobank Recycling which provides litter solutions for beverage. Max proudly explains the operation of his syndication company Mi Runners which has brought close to 5000 new owners into racing. He loves this venture. He talks of his participation in the Everest Slot Holders concept. No luck so far, but he’s having another crack this year. Max takes us back to his childhood at Bangalow (NSW) and the influence of his grandfather on his life. He remembers his days as a jackeroo on the Amaroo cattle station, and the extraordinary circumstances that brought him to Sydney and to the Texas Tavern at King’s Cross. Max talks with affection of Bernie Houghton, a Sydney based American who took a shine to the young bloke from Bangalow. He talks of his new job with the rural commodity firm Nicholls, and his instant fascination with the Futures Market. Max reflects on the establishment of his own business L Quay Futures Brokers, and the subsequent sale of the company to ABN Amro.
