Introducing our new racing man

We are pleased to announce that Tommy Lyons has been appointed Racing Correspondent of the Irish Examiner.

Lyons, 39, will formally commence his duties tomorrow and heads straight to the Killarney Festival on Monday.

However, readers will already be keenly aware of his track record for this newspaper over a number of years with regard to insight and betting advise for punters, whether it be over jumps, on the Flat, or around the nation’s greyhound tracks.
