Are you passionate about horse racing and fancy trying your hand at being a presenter? Sky Sports on the lookout for enthusiastic on-screen talent to join Sky Sports Racing in 2019 – working across both TV output as well as providing exclusive content for digital channels and attheraces.com. You’ll be predominately based on the racecourse and Sky studios – giving raceday previews, conducting interviews with trainers, jockeys, bookmaker and racecourse reps, while also providing original content for social media and the website.
If this sounds appealing, please complete one or more of the following tasks and send the file via WeTransfer to recruitment@attheraces.com.
- Run through an upcoming full raceday card – including focus on key races and certain horses that interest you and might interest the viewer
- Give a wrap-up of a big raceday –for example a day of your choice at Royal Ascot 2018
Alternatively, please feel free to come up with a task of your own choice or send a showreel of any related broadcast work you have done. Your ‘audition’ does not need to be broadcast quality. If we like what we see, we’ll be in touch to arrange next steps in the process.
