Former Classics award-winning jockey Ted Durcan has been appointed UK and Irish bloodline advisor to MyRacehorse. Durcan will select horses for the micro-sharing organization from both public and private auctions.
Durcan, who runs Durcan Bloodstock, said: “I’m delighted to be asked to join MyRacehorse to help the team find some exciting and fun horses for the upcoming season.
“MyRacehorse gives everyone the opportunity to see how this great sport works from the inside out, not the outside in. This is something that most people usually can’t achieve, but MyRacehorse has made it a reality.
“Participating in racehorse ownership is fun, exciting and social. There are ups and downs but that’s the whole journey that makes the sport so special and it’s important to find new ways to share that journey.”
Kate Hardy, CEO of MyRacehorse, added, “We are delighted to have Ted working with MyRacehorse as we develop our barns in Ireland and the UK.
“His extensive knowledge of the sport and the unique perspective he has as a former jockey when assessing form and build is invaluable to MyRacehorse.
“Ted’s track record and reputation speak for themselves, and we are incredibly fortunate to have him on our team.”
