OUR CORE VALUES

Our core values are fundamental to who Medallion Racing is and guides everything we do as a business.

MEDALLION RACING

  • We have 2 different partnership opportunities that provide different entry points and timelines.
  • Medallion Flagship focuses on an exclusive ownership experience at the highest levels of Thoroughbred racing. We buy into proven female horses, as to diversify and to guarantee a high level experience, while also minimizing your downside risk.
  • Medallion Europe is an ownership opportunity that is devoted to acquiring exceptional yearlings at premier European sales.

WHAT SEPARATES US

  • Our partnership model is set up to be more investor friendly, with NO mark-ups, and NO purse rakes.
  • Our goal is to provide a world-class ownership experience, which includes; concierge service, handicapping seminars, gambling pools, events at top racing destinations (Royal Ascot, Del Mar, etc.)
  • Our approach is intentionally selective, which includes; capping our numbers to provide personalized attention and emphasizing long-term, relationship-driven partnerships.

Phillip Shelton
Medallion Racing Manager

I’ve been a lifelong horse racing fan, who learned the game from my dad, while spending many racing/ simulcast days at Keeneland. I focused most of my interest on handicapping, while working for Taylor Made periodically at Thoroughbred Auctions from 2004-2014. At this time, I decided to make a career change, and pursue my love of Thoroughbred Racing full time. I began at the bottom, working as a groom to help prep all of our horses for the different TB Auctions throughout the year. I moved into the office in the spring of 2016 as we began working on the plans for Medallion Racing. We launched Medallion Racing, and I have been the Racing Manager since its inception. I am very lucky to get to work with all of our incredible partners. I live in Lexington with my wife Taylor, and son Keene & daughter Marin.

Molly Hyer
Medallion Client Relations Manager

Horses have been part of my world since the beginning. I started riding competitively at the age of five and continued through college. Riding is what brought me to Kentucky, where I went on to graduate from Murray State University with a Bachelor’s in Marketing and a Master’s in Business. I have been with Taylor Made for over five years, and my role is to support Medallion Racing by leading partner engagement, market-ing, and events. What I enjoy most is building meaningful relationships with our partners and creating experiences that feel thoughtful, seamless, and memorable. I take pride in bringing creativity, organization, and follow-through to everything I do. Outside of work, I’m married to my husband Jeff, and we have an amazing daughter, Addie.
