In memory of Tim Mangan.
Tim Mangan started Ace Bloodstock with Darcy, Chris and Rob. Tim and Darcy formed a strong father-son connection through the love of horse racing, and Ace Bloodstock was a way for them to do what they loved most. Tim's loving memory will live on through the Ace Bloodstock horse syndication for years to come. He was a successful racehorse owner, which extends back to 1988 with his first horse, Southern Poet, trained by Brett and Mary Mallyon. Thirty-five years later, with many horses in between (including Dandino, Yogi, Carraig Onair, Firehouse Rock, Reigning Meteor and Ticket To Toorak), he had the ultimate success with I'm Thunderstruck and Jungle Magnate.
