Christie DeBernardis has been appointed regional manager of the United States and wider Americas and as senior media manager of the China Horse Club. An Eclipse Award-winning journalist, DeBernardis spent 10 years as editor at Thoroughbred Daily News.
“Christie's appointment comes at a time when the China Horse Club's involvement in the United States, in particular, is maturing. The fruits of our efforts over many years are just starting to be seen,” said Teo Ah Khing, China Horse Club's Chairman. “The management of this arm of the Club is understandably central to our long-term plans and Christie brings with her a great understanding of this region as well as credibility, professionalism and intent.”
DeBernardis will be responsible for the management of China Horse Club's USA racing and breeding portfolio, including selecting new stock, working with trainers on race plans, matings and stock assessment. She will also be tasked with maintaining and growing relationships with the organization's
members, partners and vendors, not only in North America, but also in Latin America and the Caribbean.
