Meet Finn
The Roving Reporter
Tommy calls him “the kid.”
Not because Finn’s a kid anymore…
Because Tommy’s been calling him that since the day they met.
Truth be told, no one’s completely sure how old Finn is.
Twenty-three…
Twenty-four…
Twenty-five…
Ask Finn and you’ll probably get a different answer every time.
One thing everybody does know…
He rarely stays in one place for very long.
Finn is rarely without his backpack… or another adventure waiting around the corner.
Never in One Place for Long
He’s worked on a billionaire’s yacht in the Mediterranean.
Lived on a kibbutz in Israel.
Backpacked through Europe, seen Big Ben.
Made friends in places most of us have only ever watched on television.
Most times you’ll find him with a backpack slung over one shoulder…and an iPhone in one hand…and a charger he forgot to pack.
Somewhere in the Mediterranean. Finn insists he was working… most of the time.
A Passport Full of Stories
He has often said,
“I would have loved to have met Margaret Thatcher.”
Nowadays, whenever Tommy wants to know what’s happening beyond our shores… he simply asks Finn.
Because Finn has a habit of turning a wrong turn into the best part of the journey.
That’s probably why Tommy never worries too much when another postcard arrives from somewhere unexpected.
London. Another city. Another story waiting to be discovered.
Finding the Stories Others Miss
Finn has an uncanny knack for finding stories nobody else seems to notice.
A tiny racetrack tucked beneath snow-covered mountains in Iceland.
A village festival where horses still parade through cobbled streets.
A trainer on the other side of the world who loves racing just as much as we do here at home.
He doesn’t pretend to know everything.
He asks questions, he listens, and somehow…
He always comes home with another story worth telling.
Every racetrack has a story. Finn just has to find it.
Back to the Clubhouse
Tommy smiles every time another postcard, photograph or late-night message arrives from overseas.
Because he knows Finn isn’t just traveling the world…
He’s bringing a little piece of it back to the Race Day Co clubhouse.
And somehow…
He still manages to forget his phone charger.
