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.”
