Episode 47: The Evolution of a Career with Thoroughbreds, with Sean Tugel

The Amplify Horse Racing Podcast

This episode features Sean Tugel, Vice President of Bloodstock at Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. Sean's exposure to racing began early in life, as he went with his father, a seasoned veterinarian, to Finger Lakes Racetrack in Farmington, New York. Sean initially embarked on a non-equine career pathway, but early in his college journey he decided to refocus on his passion for the Thoroughbred industry by moving to Kentucky. Sean discusses how gaining and maintaining hands-on experience with horses can help you in people-facing roles, the unexpected opportunities that can only result from an industry like horse racing (including a whirlwind trip to South Korea!), and balancing a career with owning your own farm. Tune in to learn more from this experienced horseman!
