Lexington Sister Cities | Horse Racing Free Tips

Camille Mamier and Jodi Matthews were selected to participate in the Together for Racing International/Lexington Sister Cities Student exchange programme. Mamier will represent the AFASEC from France. She currently works for Deauville-based trainer Stephane Cerulis and will spend her summer placement in Newmarket. Matthews, who represents the British Racing School, will head to Kentucky for the Breeders' Cup later this year and then to Florida to further her experience. Matthews is employed by trainer Ed Bethell.

Anna Powell, Development Director for TfRI, said “We were thrilled with the interest and the number of strong applications we received, especially from France. We are looking forward to facilitating these exchanges, collaborating with Lexington Sister Cities and the racing schools. The exchange programme is a great way to retain our young and talented staff by giving them new opportunities to share best practices, to learn from other racing jurisdictions and bring back what they have learned to their respective racing nations.”

Together for Racing International (TfRI) has joined up with the Lexington Sister Cities network to launch a foreign exchange programme between Lexington, Kentucky in the U.S.; Newmarket, UK; Kildare, Ireland; and Deauville, France. The programme will offer recent graduates of the respective racing schools of each Sister City to apply for placement abroad at one of the other Sister Cities. Students interested in taking part in the scheme will have the opportunity to apply via their “home” racing school. The ideal candidate must be aged between 18-25, be a Sister City racing school graduate, and someone keen to

further their experience abroad. Selected candidates will have the opportunity to develop their careers and gain international experience. The successful candidates will be announced on Tuesday, May 10. Their placement will commence over the summer months of July and August, later this year.

“Lexington's Sister Cities Program is unique in that it has a common bond with all its Sister Cities–the love of the

horse,” said Kay Sargent, Executive Director of the Lexington Sister Cities Commission. “We are so excited to collaborate with TfRI, BCTC Equine, and the racing schools in our Sister Cities to offer another great opportunity for students in Lexington and Lexington's Sister Cities.”

Added Anna Powell, Development Director of Together for Racing International, “We are delighted to launch our first pilot programme, which is core to the work that TfRI does helping to retain and develop talent within our racing industry globally. This exchange pilot will look to reach out to more countries like Australia and Japan going forward and we're very excited to get the first year off the ground in 2022.”
