Unique Roles

Racing Broadcaster

Racing Broadcasters have intimate knowledge about the sport of horse racing in order to present and comment on Singapore race meetings for TV broadcasts. Describing all the action on the racetracks, their commentary adds context and brings races to life. Our Racing Broadcasters produce content that is engaging as well as informative.

Our certified Riding Instructors teach horse riding skills at the Singapore Turf Club Riding Centre. Apart from ensuring a safe riding environment, they utilise effective teaching techniques and develop lesson plans for the learners to become competent and confident riders.
