ABOUT RICH DUNCAN

I help sportsbooks get more out of racing by making sure racing products convert – not just exist to tick a coverage box.I work with teams looking to expand horse racing sensibly across markets – helping them navigate global racing rights, simplify delivery, and remove the operational headaches that get in the way of generating real ROI from racing.My focus is on building long-term partnerships where data, trading, and product are properly aligned, turning racing into a genuine commercial driver.At Podium, we focus on improving racing and sports performance for operators - delivering reliable core and in-play data, resilient pricing, and engagement tools that support trading teams operating in live conditions.
