Our key staff at Leilani Lodge include:

	John Thompson - Foreman John Thompson is the fourth generation of his family to enter the racing industry. Being inspired by the success of his father, Vic Thompson Jnr and his grandfather, Vic Thompson Snr, John joined his father’s stable after leaving school. He spent eight years as Foreman and enjoyed winning a Sydney Trainer’s Premiership along the way. When his father semi-retired, John spent four years in charge of Bill Mitchell’s Sydney stables at Randwick. Following Bill Mitchell’s decision to relocate to Victoria, he invited John to join him but John elected to stay working in Sydney. The opportunity opened at Leilani Lodge and he joined us in October 2002. John is no stranger to top class racehorses, having Group 1 performers under his care in all stables of which he has been Foreman. He is married with two young children and is a welcome addition to Leilani Lodge.
	Bill Charles - Racing Manager Bill works in the administration side of the stable specialising in programming. He played a part in the structuring of the present NSW racing programmes and has intricate knowledge of it. He can provide up to the minute information on all the horses under the care of Bart Cummings.
