From the Mid-Atlantic to the Bluegrass, Sara Gordan Tells Her Own Story

Since moving to Kentucky from Maryland a few years ago, Sara Gordon has become a prominent figure in the world of horse racing media. If you’ve ever scrolled the social media channels of the trade publication, the Thoroughbred Daily News (TDN), you’ve seen the fruits of Sara’s labor. She’s often awake before dawn to capture content at the track or on farms, and stays up well after dark creating reels. With her keen eye for detail and a deep passion for the sport, Sara has carved out a distinguished career as the social media manager and a writer for the TDN.

Sara’s journey into Thoroughbred racing began with a strong foundation in journalism, honed through years of work at various equine media outlets. In this episode, Sara shares the path that led her to journalism, horses that have inspired her along the way, and how she beats boredom by staying busy. As a social media manager, she feels a commitment to taking fans behind behind-the-scenes of the industry through engaging reels and posts.
