Ciaron Maher Racing is proud to introduce our newest member of the team, Sam White

Sam joins the team in the role of Sales & Marketing Executive, where he will maintain our focus on delivering an exceptional level of service to existing owners and business partners, whilst also assisting the business to develop new relationships.

Sam joins us following three and a half years at Coolmore Australia, in the Hunter Valley, in the role of Nominations & Client Relations. Sam's time at Coolmore has assisted him in learning the ins and outs of the breeding and sales world from some of the sharpest minds in the game. 

The level of professionalism, attention to detail and level of service to clients learnt through his time at Coolmore is sure to hold Sam in good stead in his new role at Ciaron Maher Racing. Sam's skills are varied having spent 6 years in real estate, initially in his home town of Shepparton before globe-trotting and completing work experience positions in London, Russia and New York, with plenty of travel in between.

Ciaron Maher said "We are delighted to have Sam join us at a time when the stable is expanding rapidly. Sam brings great passion, experience and knowledge of the industry and its participants to bolster even further an already impressive team. It's so important to ensure we have every part of the business working well, so he is a great addition."

As much as Sam has appreciated and enjoyed his time at Coolmore, the lure to return to Melbourne proved too hard to resist.

 "I am looking forward to mixing it with the best and winning on the big stage and doing it the right way." enthused Sam. "Whilst it was an extremely difficult decision to leave Coolmore, and I will be forever grateful to Tom, MV and Sophie Magnier and Michael Kirwan for the start that they gave me in the industry, I am thrilled to be a part of what could be the next big thing in racing at Ciaron Maher Racing and hope that I will be able to play some small part in making that happen."

With the new racing season upon us and with the stable having already secured the prestigious Group 3 ATC Breeder's Plate through glamour 2 year-old colt Dubious the stable is looking forward to continued success with both current and new owners alike.
