Racing Post recruits new head of trading partnerships from Betdaq
Alan Casey joins the horseracing publisher to help promote its new AllSported trading solution
Racing Post has appointed former Betdaq commercial manager Alan Casey as its new head of trading partnerships.
Casey joins Racing Post from Betdaq where he drove liquidity growth through commercial deals during a seven-year spell with the GVC-owned exchange operator.
The newly-created head of trading partnerships role was formed to help launch Racing Post’s new AllSported venture as the publisher diversifies into trading.
The trading solution gives bookmakers international horseracing odds and risk-management capabilities, alongside Racing Post content.
AllSported was launched as a joint venture in conjunction with TXODDS and Banach Technologies.
Casey said: “I’ve been a horseracing enthusiast for years and working on the operator side for the past seven years has given me a real appreciation of how difficult it is to price horseracing and provide a viable product.
“I think AllSported bridges that gap and is a hugely significant product for the marketplace. The plug and play solution is key to getting more players in the horseracing space both in the UK and globally,” he added.
