Class of '24
Jack Nash
Jack is a nineteen-year-old student, born in Derry/Londonderry but now living in North London. He is currently studying Fine Art at Central Saint Martins, exploring film, digital and analogue photography, media, time-based/durational performance, and interdisciplinary practices, taking into consideration the notion of identity, subculture, and lived experience. Jack is also a Young Producer at the National Portrait Gallery, delving into cultural events planning and media production through the collaborative delivery of the private view of ‘David Hockney, Drawing from Life’ alongside GUAP Magazine – discovering, showcasing and nurturing emerging and underrepresented creatives and communities.
Outside of the studio, Jack tries to attend as many race meetings as possible; he has currently attended fourteen racetracks, with the hopes of visiting all fifty-nine in the future. His best meetings include the York Ebor, 2000 Guineas, St Leger, Tingle Creek, and most recently Trials Day at Cheltenham.
Jack’s infatuation with the sport has led him to become involved with Catch Us If You Can Racing, a family-run syndicate based at Phantom House stables, Newmarket, run by South African trainer Dylan Cunha; Jack has a share in two two-year-old fillies who are now in full training. Jack is also an avid Arsenal fan and is beginning to learn dressage in his spare time.
Jack applied for the RMA as he wholly believed his creative knowledge, his love for all things media-based, and his passion for horse racing made him a superb fit. Jack had struggled to find a role that married these two seemingly varied career paths but is very much looking forward to gaining his first steps in this industry and learning the behind-the-scenes of the race day experience at British flat racing’s most prestigious event.
“My week with the Racing Media Academy held at the British Racing School was an experience I know I will never forget as long as I will live! Within a matter of hours of arriving at Newmarket, I felt completely at home, and my initial worries about meeting an entirely new cohort of cadets, and whether or not my previous racing knowledge was up to scratch was wholly eradicated. The week of both in-class lectures from the best in the industry, such as Dan Abraham, Nick Luck, Alex Hammond, Lydia Hislop, Lee Mottershead, Mike Cattermole (and so many more!), and off-site visits,such as a guided tour of The National Studand the Sky HQ, gave me a whole new perspective about the sport I only thought could be a hobby of mine. This hybrid approach to teaching meant there was never a dull moment and ensured me that when the week was finishedthat I was fully equipped with enough knowledge to be able to undertake my placement and anything I undertake outside of it with no worries about my ability.
I cannot describe how welcome I was made to feel during my placement at Ascot! It was only my second day on the job that I was whisked off to Chantilly to assist with press releases and live social media capturing for thebusiness, as well as interviewing trainers and theirrepresentatives about the horses they are sending for Royal Ascot (which appeared on the Nick Luck Daily podcast), highlighting to me the importance ofinternational relations within the sport. It is safe to say my week at Royal Ascot was the best week I have had in my entire life! From liaising with JSC Comms to ensure press accreditation was delivered on time, assisting with our external social media companies with objectives such as live content creation, card-running etc, producing press cuttings that went out to the entire business, copying writing for race results, and lifestyle photography throughout the five days, I was made to feel like an asset to the business, and not just a temporary intern. Other highlights include a visit to Kempton Park to watch American trainer Wesley Ward’s horses have a final gallop before the Royal meeting, and the Shergar Cup weekend, where I took Japanese jockey Nanako Fujita around London for a press visit with the JRA and Sky Sports Racing. The two projects I was givenfor my entire time at Ascot were to produce two reports –a travel incentive benchmarking report, collating information from the major international racing organisations to compare the means of enticing international horses to Ascot, and a benchmarking report on race-day advertising across the UK. Both reports pushed out completely out of my comfort zone, but during my time writing them, I encountered so many new, different avenues of the sport that are fundamental to its success, and much of which would be forgotten to the average racegoer like myself!
I can only thank Ascot –Will, Jonny, and the entire Marketing and Racing teams–with entrusting me with such responsibilityand making me feel so involved within the business, and to Lee, Josh, Abby, and Cath, for allowing me such opportunities and teaching me so much about the sport I hold so dear to my heart!“

“After finishing my placement, I knew instantly the RMA was the best decision I could have ever made. Our week away in Newmarket was amazing, so informative and really opened my eyes to all the different paths in Racing media. We got to talk to many knowledgable people throughout the week and listening to different perspectives and experiences was interesting too. I gained so much knowledge and was constantly learning. I enjoyed every minute and I have met some friends for life. It is such an amazing opportunity and no matter your experience you can do it! I’ve come out of the academy with more knowledge of the sport, meeting some incredible people and experiencing what a career is like in the industry.
My placement was with ARC as a Marketing Executive. I began my 8-week placement at Doncaster Racecourse. From my first day I knew this was where I wanted to be. I have learned so much during my 8 weeks from being in the office to on a Raceday. I was very pleased to hear when I had my placement extended.I just want to say anyone that is thinking of applying, go do it! This was definitely one of the best experiences of my life and now my dream career is beginning.“

“I was delighted to have been selected to be a part of this year’s Racing Media Academy. During the final week of April, we were brought together as a group in the British Racing School in Newmarket. Here I gotto know my twelve other classmates and began to learn about all things racing media.
The week was made up of many different industry leaders all with unique pathways into racing and who informed us about both the challenges and joys of working within racing media. I particularly enjoyed the lectures which focused on broadcasting. Lydia Hislop and Lee Mottershead worked together to provide a full day workshop on written and presentation broadcast and with the help of race tech we were able to put our skills to the test and record debates and interviews and then review them with Lee and Lydia, receiving instant feedback.
The highlight of the week was putting our skills to the test on the ‘Mock Race Day’. This allowed everyone to play a specific role in a live broadcast and work together to produce a live feed from a day atthe races. The experience this offered was beyond anything I could have expected from the course.
I was lucky enough to obtain a placement with ITV Racing for 6 weeks during the height of the British flatseason. Having worked in a racing stables for many years I was apprehensive if I could transition into office-based environment and have the skills to do well. First day nerves were soon erased after spending the day in the office with the team.
For my first week I worked closely with the production management team and worked on future racing festivals such as the York Ebor festival. Each Saturday I attended the races with the team and shadowed various individuals to learn about the different jobs on a live broadcast.
Through the rest of my time at ITV I worked closely with producers and was even tasked with creating myown VT for the Yorkshire Oaks. I was given the freedom to choose which horses I wanted to show along with graphics and music. Being able to watch from the trucks something which I produced was very proud moment, as was having my name on the credits that day.
My experience was varied at ITV and tailored to my interests, I spent two festivals working with the Social Media team and even edited a video showcasing the various jobs within a live broadcast production.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with ITV and was very sad to see it come to an end. I was able to attend every race meeting during the six weeks and work with some amazing people. I could not recommend the Racing Media Academy enough. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to get out of this at the beginning, but I now know that the options are endless and there are so many people within the industry who are ready to help.“
Mageswar Periasamy Vishakan
Mageswar, a twenty-four-year-old from Chennai, India, has been around horses for as long as he can remember. His equestrian journey began at a young age at Lawrence School, Lovedale, where he fostered a deep love for horses. Beyond the stables, Mageswar enjoys running, football, and scuba diving.

Lexi Danielson
Lexi Danielson grew up in an area known for horse racing but did not begin to follow the sport until American Pharoah’s 2015 Triple Crown sweep. She’s a proud Marylander, but after studying abroad and working with Together TV, a non-profit broadcast company, she fell in love with England and its media industry.
Lexi studied film for eight years and is a recent graduate of Ithaca College. She has worked in multiple areas of the industry, from educational videos with the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum to live coverage of the 2022 Beijing Olympics with NBC Sports. She also leads the children’s department at a bookstore.
In her spare time, she loves devouring novels, taking long hikes, scrapbooking, and driving with the top down in her yellow punch buggy. Lexi applied to the Racing Media Academy because she saw it as an opportunity to combine her two loves: horse racing and film. She loved the combination of education and practical experience that the program provides. She hopes to learn more about the European side of horse racing, understand the sport as a participant instead of a spectator, and ultimately, turn her experience into a career.
“This was an unbelievable experience that opened countless doors. I have always loved racing and media but struggled for a year post college to figure out how to combine the two. When I was accepted to the Racing Media Academy, it felt like my dreams came true.
The week was absolutely incredible. The British Racing School was a fabulous host that allowed me to connect with my fellow cadets via hour long, horse filled, post learning day walks. I learned about aspects of the industry I didn’t even know existed, and walked away from the week feeling confident in my ability to work within the sport. Everyone we met was extremely welcoming and helpful. Over and over again, we heard that the sport was open to newcomers, as long as you were willing to try.
I graduated from the program with a new group of friends, a plethora of connections, and a profound love of the sport. And shortly after I left, I accepted a job in the racing industry! If you’re on the fence about joining, do it. You will not regret it –and this is coming from someone who braved two 16 hour travel days to get here.”
Killian Hunt
Killian is twenty-four years old and a native of County Waterford in the South East of Ireland. He is a Master’s graduate from Maynooth University in European History.
Aside from having his head buried in history books, his other major passions in life centre around sports. He is a keen golfer, enjoys watching his beloved Liverpool win, and most importantly, enjoys watching and going horse racing as often as he can. In the last number of years, he has got a few of his friends more interested in the sport and he likes to organise trips to the races as often as he can.
He has attended several different racecourses across Ireland including Leopardstown, Punchestown, Galway, and his local track, Tramore.
He was exposed to the sport at a young age as his Grandad owned a small number of horses and some of his earliest memories at ages four and five were of attending race meetings at the Curragh with his family. However, he had never seriously considered a career in the horse racing industry as he had never been too keen on riding horses or working in a racing yard.
While studying at Maynooth University he came across the Racing Media Academy, and it stuck out as a fantastic opportunity for him to jumpstart his career in the sport he loves and to get the opportunity to learn from some of the industry’s leading professionals.
The main thing that he hopes to gain from his time at the RMA and his placement is experience. Ultimately, he hopes that the RMA will allow him to combine the skills that he has developed from his academic pathway with some fantastic practical experience of the inner workings of the horse racing media industry to forge a truly enjoyable career path in horse racing.
“The Racing Media Academy was such an amazing experience and both the week at the British Racing School in Newmarket and my subsequent placement with the Nick Luck Daily podcast, have been invaluable in aiding me to develop acareer in the racing media industry.
During my time in Newmarket, I got the chance to not only start building a network within the industry, but also to make new friendships with a wonderful group of fellow cadets. We got the chance to learn from a number of leading industry professionals who were extremely generous with their time and incredibly informative. We also got the chance to put our skills to the test and to gain valuable experience which has been incredibly helpful for me in my pursuit of a career in racing.
I then got the opportunity to go on placement with Nick Luck, and both him and Charlotte Greenway helped to provide me with yet another brilliant experience. I got the chance to go to all four days of York’s Ebor meeting and to report from the Goffs Premier Yearling Sale at Doncaster on behalf of the podcast. This provided me with the chance to develop my skills in interviewing and in recording and editing, and these are things which I know will be extremely useful as I move forward with my career.
I am incredibly thankful to both Nick and Charlotte for alltheir time and help and getting the chance to work with them is an experience for which I will be forever grateful. I am now working on the editorial team with European Bloodstock News, and it is thanks to the RMA that I have been able to further develop both my skills and confidence which has enabled me to take the first steps in developing a career in the sport that I love. I want to say a special thank you to Josh, Abby Lee, Cath and the whole team that is involved with the RMA. It is a fantastic initiative and to anyone who is considering applying for the course all I can say is do it, you will not regret it.“
Lauren Greer
Lauren Greer is twenty-three and originally from Cambridge.
After finishing school, she dived straight into the world of thoroughbred stud work and has been fortunate enough to work closely with a high calibre of racehorses all over the world.
When Lauren’s not working, she spends most of her time pursuing her main interest in videography and editing. In applying to the RMA, she hopes to combine her passion for racing and video and to further develop a skillset applicable to a media-based career path.
Sidra Woodward
Sidra is twenty-four years old and from Northamptonshire. She graduated with a first-class degree in Film & Television from Solent University which unfortunately was greatly impacted by the pandemic.
This has spurred her on to try and gather a vast range of practical experiences in various filmmaking industries. She loves learning new things and is interested to learn more about the competitive nature of horse racing.
She applied to the RMA because of the opportunity to learn with the vast range of media/broadcast companies and to understand more about the coverage and platforms concerning the world of horse racing. She would love to learn how the racing media in general is trying to broaden its horizons and reach new audiences, whilst not isolating its deep longstanding relationship with its traditional audience.
Sidra hopes to learn more about the sport of horse racing, as well as the practical and technical skills required to operate and broadcast the coverage of races and more.
“The RMA has quite literally changed my lifefor the better. Before even stepping onto the course, once I had been accepted, I managed to land myself a job as a camera operator at Towcester Racecourse because I had mentioned I would be training with RaceTech and the RMA.
The week in Newmarket was intense-a lot of terminology to learn about as well as the sport in general. I had no idea that the sport was so complex, and I am still learning so much more day by day. I really enjoyed getting to learn from and interact with almost all of our guest speakers who work in the racing media. It is such a rare honour and unique privilege to be able to take something away from each day from the best in the industry. I’m also incredibly grateful to have attended my first meeting with the RMA and of course Lee, Josh and Cath (as well as texts from Abby!) who were so kind and generous with their explanation of the day and sport.
I’ve loved my placement with RaceTech. I was really eager to observe each area of production at Warwick, from photofinish to engineering, cameras and directing. I then started to get more involved with lifting kit on site and going to HQ to understand the media and archival services the company provides. I have really appreciated the kindness and time spent with both staff and freelancers, who answered any question I had and gave invaluable advice. I would love to give OB4 a shoutout as I ended up working with them for a significant portion of my placement and felt very supported and looked after!
I am excited and hopeful about where my career will go after this placement and would love to encourage anyone to apply to the RMA even if they have no knowledge or connection to the sport itself. I think immersing yourself into something new is challenging yet so rewarding and worthwhile-you get to learn so much more when you are pushed out of your comfort zone. It has also been a great way to learn how different sports use and interact with the media in their own way and it connects you with so many people in the different screen industries than you might realise. If you do apply, know that you will be supported by great people in Lee, Cath, Abby and Josh who will endeavour to see you make the most of this experience!“
Mary-Jo Jackson
Mary-Jo Jackson is twenty-three years old and from Middlesbrough. A life-long love of horses meant she became a racing fan at a young age—her earliest memories are cheering on Comply Or Die in the 2008 Grand National, and watching Sea The Stars complete his perfect season in the Arc.
Since then, Mary has been an avid follower of racing worldwide. Having consumed racing media throughout her life, she credits its contributors with helping facilitate her wider love of literature and storytelling. She graduated with an English Literature degree from the University of York. Mary’s favourite meeting to attend is the Ebor Festival.
Outside of racing, she is a keen portrait artist, largely focusing on racehorses of course! She applied for the Racing Media Academy as it would give her the chance to intertwine her passion for racing with skills developed during her degree. She sees the academy as an invaluable opportunity for someone from a completely non-racing background.
Mary cannot wait to gain insight into the intricacies and nuances of racing media production from its dedicated professionals. She hopes to let her creativity and passion shine through while exploring what a career in racing media would look like. Above all, she is chasing individual growth and specialist knowledge which will serve her in future endeavours.
“The Racing Media Academy is a sure-fire way to get the ball rolling on your career in horse racing. I took the chance and applied, and as a result experienced the most enriching week with fellow cadets before a dream internship at the Racing Post.
The week-long course is action packed –the chance to meet and receive one-to-one feedback from so many of racing’s luminaries is one that still blows my mind.
The whole group supported and championed each other and each of us know we’ll always have the RMA in common and have each other’s backs.
My internship at the Racing Post still leaves me in awe, having grown up reading it and being shaped as a writer by some of their journalists.
The team was so good to me, gave constant encouragement in my ability and were always there to help when needed. That, in addition to being trusted for print so early on, was both humbling and confidence-boosting. I left having made so much growth as a journalist, with a new sense of confidence and so many incredible contacts in the industry.
The internship solidified my desire to work in racing and gave me opportunities which fulfilled dreams I’d had since childhood.
I couldn’t recommend the RMA enough. It has changed my life and quite literally allowedme to make my dreams reality.
I didn’t expect to be chosen, but when I was, I instantly felt that racing had a place for me. It has a place for you as well –so just go for it!“
Daniel Horner
Dan has a degree in Sports Management. His hobbies include going horse racing, following Chelsea FC, and playing cricket during the summer.
He became increasingly interested in the media aspect of racing during his teens and applied for the Racing Media Academy to broaden his understanding of different media sectors.
His ambition is to gain more knowledge about the sport and hopes that the course will be the first step towards a successful career in the industry.
“I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say the Racing Media Academy has been the best experience of my life, the course and my placement has been a once in a lifetime opportunity and is one I will always cherish. The course in Newmarket was the definition of “full on” but in such a beneficial way, the knowledge myself and the group gained from all the talks from people in different sectors of the media was invaluable. I would say the Mock Race Day was my favourite part of the course because we had the chance to put the skills we had learnt throughout the week such as the planning and processes needed to allow the production to flow smoothly to use. The group, in my opinion, excelled, showing just how talented they all are. The skills I learnt throughout the week I have taken into my placement with Sky Sports Racing and hopefully will continue to utilise.
My placement was a 6 week duration with different parts of the Sky Sports Racing team, starting off with social media, moving onto research, production, directing and finally culminating with a week working at Royal Ascot as a runner for the morning programme and then for the media team collecting content for social channels while racing was taking place. It was an opportunity I felt incredibly privileged to have undertaken. I have subsequently applied for an Assistant Producer role with Sky Sports Racing and hope to continue working for the team. Soon after the Racing Media Academy mock race day I started working for Stratford Racecourse as an on course presenter/pundit and have learnt a great deal about the art of the role.
I would like to thank Josh Apiafi, Lee Moulson, Abby Apiafi, Catherine Groff for creating and organising what was an unbelievable week in which I will never forget!”
Liam Mullen
Liam Mullen is twenty years old, and from Newmarket, Suffolk. He is studying sports broadcasting at UCFB Wembley, with aspirations of becoming a racing presenter / social media content creator after graduation.
While growing up, he developed a passion for horse racing influenced by his dad being a jockey. Having grown up in a racing background, Liam has been very fortunate to spend half of his life growing up in Dubai, in and around the racetracks, he has been lucky to be at multiple Dubai World Cups. Initially heading to the US on scholarship to play college golf, a growing interest in media changed his decision and he has recently been volunteering as a production assistant at AFTV.
Liam applied to the RMA because he wanted to learn from the experts in the racing industry. For him, the RMA is the first major step in his racing media career, and he can’t wait for his placement with the Jockey Club; having spent the last year and a half dedicated to his horse racing social media, he was lucky to begin creating social content for William Buick during the last six months.
He would love to be part of securing the longevity of horse racing and hopes to learn new skills with a long-term ambition of presenting horseracing and encouraging more people to enjoy the sport.
“My week at the Racing Media Academy was nothing short of special. The academy provided a comprehensive introduction to the world of racing media, blending expert-led workshops, hands-on projects, and invaluable insights into the industry. From the opportunity to connect with industry leaders and understand the intricacies of broadcasting to learn the ropes of digital content creation, every moment was packed with learning and inspiration.
Coming into the placement with The Jockey Club I thought I had a decent grasp of social media, but working on the Coral-Eclipse showcasing City Of Troy’s Derby-Eclipse double, The July Festival where William Buick achieved an incredible 100 Group 1’s, and many other race meetings. I quickly realised I knew very little and that’s the best lesson I could have had! Witnessing all of the meetings firsthand taught me valuable lessons about crafting compelling narratives and creating content that resonates with diverse audiences, whether through captivating visuals, engaging storytelling, or strategic timing. I’d like to thank Michael Andrews and Joe Hughes whose talents and efforts to create a massive following on all platforms have been both educational and inspiring.
I would like to say thank you to all at the RMA and everyone who has been involved in getting me to this position and making it possible for me to pick up skills in an industry which continues to fascinate me. I hope that I will be able to continue learning and meeting incredible people. It has been an absolute dream and I will forever be indebted to these experiences. Whilst the journey of the RMA is over, I know it’s just the beginning of us riding a dream.
To anyone who had any hesitation to apply at first, I hope after seeing what we got up to, all that uncertainty has faded away.”
