The TDN to me is like the Wall Street Journal to someone in finance. It s an amazing idea to be able to read everything that s going on in horse racing every single day. In fact, I don t wait until the next morning. I read it before I go to bed. I read it the second time in the morning. There s so much information there, it s good to read twice. ANDREW ROSEN, Founder and CEO, Theory and Helmut Lang TDN TESTIMONIALS Coming from the financial services industry, I read the Wall Street Journal every day, I read the Financial Times every day, and I m fortunate being in the equine business that I have TDN. Best writers, best news, on time, international and global. I love it. SCOTT HEIDER, Pacific Realty
I check the TDN each day to monitor how the progeny of Gainesway stallions are progressing and to find out what is happening in the world of racing. It s genuine global news.
