ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Back in 2020, Keri Brion was in Ireland overseeing a string of horses for her boss Jonathan Sheppard when she learned he was unexpectedly retiring -- a move that thrust her into a training on her own, a job she'd expected to have... just not quite yet.

Then The Mean Queen won the Eclipse Award as champion steeplechaser, and things started to happen for her.

Keri Brion joins us for an exclusive interview on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz.

These days Brion has a growing operation based at the Fair Hill Training Center, and while she wants to remain prominent in jumps circles, she's hoping to for growing success on the flat side.

It's a great conversation with a trainer with an interesting story.

This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Delaware Park Today, is presented by Delaware Park Racing and Casino.
