ALEX BROWN TO BE THURSDAY'S GUEST ON BLOODHORSE.COM "TALKIN' HORSES"

 

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Join exercise rider and horse welfare advocate Alex Brown for this week's edition of BloodHorse.com "Talkin' Horses" at BloodHorse.com/TalkinHorses on Thursday, June 26, at noon EDT (9:00 a.m. PDT), sponsored by TrueNicks.com. Brown has worked in horseracing on-and-off in North America for 20 years during which time he spent most of this time working at the Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland. He also runs alexbrownracing.com, a site that initially focused on Barbaro's recovery but later shifted its focus to address Barbaro's ongoing legacy and other key issues, including horse rescue and horse slaughter.

 

Brown currently lives in Canada where he is an exercise rider for trainer Steve Asmussen. He also has worked at Penn National, Presque Isle Downs, Keeneland, Churchill Downs, and Sam Houston Race Park. He has worked on three synthetic surfaces: the Tapeta Footings surface at Fair Hill and the Polytrack at Keeneland and Woodbine. Brown is an unabashed advocate for these new surfaces.

 

During this year's Triple Crown season, his blog was among those featured on the New York Times' web site.

 

Brown has an MBA from the University of Delaware. He also taught Internet Marketing at the University of Delaware in 1997. In addition, Brown also worked at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania for seven years, and at a boutique consulting firm, Clearadmit.com, for two years. He has been a co-founder of a number of dot.com enterprises. He is originally from the United Kingdom.
