I am looking foward to big life change early in the new year and will be making a move to be based in Christchurch New Zealand.

 

After a wonderful six years with Sky Racing I am very sad to be saying goodbye to an amazing period in my life...I am looking foward to things being business as usual through until the Miracle Mile in March.

One of racing’s top young presenters, Brittany Graham, will join the Trackside team from early next year.

Graham, widely regarded as one of the best and most respected harness racing presenters in the world, will further enhance the strong team of presenters and experts at Trackside.

Not only will Graham cover her beloved harness racing through vehicles like the “The Box Seat” and “Friday Night Lights”, but her role will also see her involved in thoroughbred presenting.

 

 

 

“I’ve absolutely loved my time at Sky Racing in Australia, but this was an opportunity at the right time of life which I couldn’t say no to,” Graham said.

 

“I’ve been to NZ lots of times for work and holidays, including just recently for the huge NZ Cup Week, and harness racing just has a much bigger profile than it does in Australia.

“It was a lifestyle choice for me. I’ve got lots of friends in NZ, especially the South Island, and I’ll get to combine my love for horses with my work. I’ll train a horse or two and do some occasional (race driving), too.”

The Queensland-born Graham has enjoyed plenty of success on the track with 310 wins as a driver and 41 as a trainer.

Her biggest thrill came when she drove her favourite horse, Majestic Harry, to run fifth behind champion trotter Just Believe in the 2022 Inter Dominion final at Melton.

Graham’s addition to the Trackside team follows other high-profile recruits like Guy Heveldt, Emily Murphy and Jayne Ivil, who had added to the already talented and passionate line-up.

“I’m looking forward to working with a lot of people I know and being part of NZ racing at a time there is a real buzz around it,” she said.

Entain’s Chief Media Officer, Chris Haigh, added: “This is a real coup. Brittany is a rare talent. Her expertise and infectious presenting style will be a fantastic addition to our strong talent line-up.”

Multi-talented it would appear

Trains and drives will also be involved in presenting thoroughbred.

Talented girl alright. Very easy on the eye , and a breath of fresh air to the presenters ranks. Someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
