TDN Europe | Horse Racing Free Tips

Brian Sheerin has joined the TDN as Associate Editor of TDN Europe. Based in Dublin, Sheerin has extensive knowledge and experience of the racing and bloodstock industry having spent six years with the Racing Post in Ireland, as well as contributing to the Irish Field and Racing TV. Prior to his journalistic roles, he worked as head lad for trainer Martin Lynch and for Galway Racecourse.

Gary King, TDN's Senior Vice President, said, “We are delighted to welcome Brian to the TDN's European team. Having someone based full-time in Ireland, with Brian's experience and ability, will give our editorial coverage an extra dimension. We are always looking at new ways to inform and entertain, and Brian will be integral to those plans.”

Sheerin will work alongside TDN's Newmarket-based team of Emma Berry, Alayna Cullen and Sean Cronin, as well as Tom Frary in France and Gary King and Heather Anderson in the U.S. The team is supported by top journalists in TDN America and the feature writing of Chris McGrath and John Berry.

“I am delighted to have joined the team at TDN and am hugely excited for the future,” said Sheerin. “I have been a TDN subscriber for the past decade and the opportunity to work alongside some of the most esteemed voices of bloodstock on an international scale is a dream come true.

“I have had a lot of fun working with the Racing Post in Ireland, where I have forged and developed relationships with some of the leading stakeholders in Irish racing over the past six years, and I look forward to immersing myself in the world of bloodstock in the coming months and years with TDN.”

He added, “Bloodstock has always been an area of the industry that I have been fascinated with and I can't wait to roll up my sleeves and produce engaging content that will showcase some of the great characters and stories in the game that I love.”

TDN's European Editor Emma Berry said, “It's fantastic to have someone of Brian's obvious enthusiasm join our small, dedicated team of people who live and breathe racing and bloodstock. Ireland is obviously a hugely important country when it comes to matters of the Thoroughbred, and Brian's appointment can only enhance our coverage of the European industry, which is second to none.”

Kelsey Riley will join Cornett, the award-winning, Lexington-based marketing agency, as a Senior Account Executive. Riley will lead the marketing team for Lane's End Farm.

Riley joins Cornett after 10 years with Thoroughbred Daily News, including seven years as International Editor, a role that included managing the editorial content of TDN Europe and traveling to sales and races globally. Riley is a graduate of Darley Flying Start (now Godolphin Flying Start) and has a degree in media studies and journalism from the University of Guelph-Humber in Toronto, Canada.

Riley succeeds Sam Harte who, after six years with Cornett and Lane's End, is moving back to his native Ireland to be closer to his family and to explore other career opportunities. Harte, who is also a graduate of Godolphin Flying Start, will oversee the transition at Cornett through mid-April.

“We at Lane's End are sorry to see Sam go,” said Lane's End's Bill Farish. “For the last six years, Sam has led all areas of our marketing efforts. He and the excellent team at Cornett have been great at coming up with creative ways of communicating with our clients and the industry, in general. We wish Sam the best in the future and have little doubt that he will be successful in whatever he pursues. Kelsey is a very exciting addition to the Cornett team. She is well-known to us and we are looking forward to working with her.”

“I'm very excited to join Cornett, and to have the opportunity to work with and learn from their excellent, award-winning team,” said Riley. “Similarly, Lane's End is a market leader across every pillar of its business and it will be a privilege to be part of its marketing efforts. Lane's End is an operation I have admired since I began working in the Thoroughbred industry, and I look forward to helping achieve its marketing goals.

“I want to thank Sue Finley, Gary King and all of my colleagues at the TDN for a great 10 years with the company. I am grateful for the many opportunities I've had at the TDN; I have very much enjoyed working within such a highly respected, widely read publication.”

TDN Publisher and CEO Sue Finley said, “For the past 10 years, Kelsey has been an integral and important part of the TDN family, and while we are sad to lose her, we look forward to working with her in her new role at Cornett and wish her all the best.”

Harte said, “The clients, partners and colleagues that I have been fortunate to work with have made my time in Kentucky so very memorable. Special thanks to Bill Farish and Kip Cornett for giving me the opportunity to learn from them and so many talented people at Lane's End and Cornett. I look forward to seeing their ongoing creativity and wish Kelsey all the best in her new role.”
