Tattersalls has appointed Australian based consultant Rodney Rae as its representative in South East Asia with immediate effect.

Rae is the managing director of the Melbourne based Thoroughbred Racing Bureau which specialises in racing and bloodstock consultancy and management services throughout Australia and South East Asia.

Commenting on his appointment Rae said:

"I am immensely looking forward to working with Tattersalls in South East Asia. Racing and breeding throughout the region continue to thrive, and with Northern Hemisphere horses very much in demand we will be looking to continue raising the profile of Tattersalls in South East Asia."

Tattersalls Chairman Edmond Mahony said:

"Rodney brings a wealth of experience to his new role for Tattersalls. South East Asia is a mixture of established and fledgling markets and we have long felt the need for direct representation in the area to complement our existing promotional activity."
