Coolmore’s Helen Otero Named Finalist for Dedication to Breeding Award

Congratulations to Helen Otero, one of three finalists in the Dedication to Breeding Award category of the Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards (TIEA), presented by Godolphin. The Ireland native started with Coolmore in 1993 working in the barns and became a veterinary nurse before moving to the office. She has truly shined in the role of stallion administrator in one of the busiest breeding sheds in America.

“When the breeding season starts,” said Coolmore America’s manager, Dermot Ryan, “we basically hand the keys and the driver’s seat to Helen and she runs the whole thing.”
