Off To The Races Media

What. A. Week. 💥 Team Off To The Races Media has been flat out at Del Mar getting ready for the Breeders’ Cup World Championships. Filming interviews, telling stories, playing golf (it was for work!) and creating wagering-focused content for our partners across North America and around the world. We caught up with a few legends along the way (yes, that’s Aidan O’Brien, William Buick and Yoshito Yahagi 😏), and got a ton of behind-the-scenes moments that remind us why we love doing what we do. Now the stage is set. The real fun starts tomorrow. Future Stars Friday… five Grade 1s for the 2-year-olds, and two days of world-class racing ahead. Let’s go. 💜🏇

Great to have Sydney's Number 1 race caller, Darren Flindell, on the weekly Hong Kong Racing Show this week to talk all things KA YING RISING and THE EVEREST at Royal Randwick! The build-up to the world's richest race on turf, starring the world's top-rated racehorse, has been remarkable, and we've been covering it all on the show Off To The Races Media produces for an international audience with the support of the The Hong Kong Jockey Club. Darren was the perfect guest this week, because not only is in the man behind the mic for Saturday's The Everest, but he also was the main caller in Hong Kong for 15 years! He called a lot of great sprinters over the years there, including Sacred Kingdom and Aerovelocity. We discussed that and a lot more! For the first time ever, FOX Sports 1 will broadcast The Everest throughout North America and DAZN will beam it around the world, with Racing NSW reporting a potential audience of 560,000,000 globally. That's a lot of zeros! Let's go, KYR! 🇭🇰 🏇

That's a wrap on a sensational American Triple Crown season! 🏆 🏆 🏆 Hot on the hooves of partnering with the great team at TwinSpires to create content on the 151st Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Off To The Races Media travelled to upstate New York for the Belmont Stakes Festival at Saratoga. We were proud to produce custom content for a range of local and international partners, including: 🇨🇦 Woodbine Entertainment's HPI Bet 🇺🇸 The Thoroughbred Owners of California 🇭🇰 The The Hong Kong Jockey Club 🎙️ In The Money Media & DraftKings Inc. Horse 🇦🇺 Australia’s RSN Racing & Sport, trading as 3UZ Pty Ltd (Radio - 927AM) Big thanks to the The New York Racing Association for the access, and to all the jockeys, trainers, owners, and connections who shared their time with us. And of course, a shoutout to the incredible equine athletes. We witnessed performances that will be remembered and talked about for decades to come. Here’s a look at a few of our highlights from Belmont Stakes week at Saratoga! 🎥👇

I thought last year’s Kentucky Derby would be hard to top... but this one just might have done it! My 6th straight Derby, and somehow they just keep getting better. Had an absolute blast working with the incredible team at TwinSpires, creating content that not only connects with their loyal audience, but helps introduce new fans to the magic of the biggest horse race on the planet. From interviewing jockeys, trainers, and owners to being on the ground for all the Derby week excitement, it really is a privilege to tell these stories. It was also an honor to once again represent TwinSpires at the Kentucky Thoroughbred Association, Inc. Kentucky Derby Trainers' Dinner, where I had the chance to emcee the event for the 4th consecutive year. A truly special night, celebrating the people who make this sport so great. And what made this Derby even more meaningful? Having a small ownership stake in Iron Man Cal, who ran in a G1 race on the Derby Day undercard at Churchill Downs Racetrack. Getting to experience the day as both a presenter and an owner was a full-circle moment I won’t soon forget. Here’s to more unforgettable Derbies, and to the people (and horses) who make them so special. 🐎🌹 #KentuckyDerby #TwinSpires #HorseRacing #DerbyDay
