One of the nation's most active and foremost experts in horse racing, TurfNSport is proud to offer the analysis, insights and selections of Brian Mulligan.

The main West Coast linemaker for The Daily Racing Form from 1980 to 2000, he has been a regular contributor to the horse industry's 'bible' since 1977. Writing under the handle Sweep, he will celebrate his 30th anniversary with The Form this fall.

He led the other public selectors in the city of Los Angeles at every main Southern California meet at one time during that span of time and continues in the Daily Racing Form with 'A Closer Look' every day.

Brian brings a true horseman's knowledge to the task. He served as an assistant trainer on a thoroughbred horse farm in New Jersey as a young man. He has also conducted seminars everywhere from California to Mexico and to Las Vegas and is usually dead-on in his analysis of which horses will run well.

Mulligan has also been a TV analyst at Santa Anita, has contributed racing articles to the mainstream Arizona Republic and Maxim magazine and has spoken on radio programs throughout the country. His role of educator/handicapper has crossed over to the classroom, where Bran is a featured instructor for the Picking Winners 101' course at Turf Paradise.

Duke Dosik, managing editor of the Daily Racing Form, called Brian "one of the more sought-after speakers and workshop leaders in the industry." Bill Dow, former vice president of Daily Racing Form and a current senior advisor said "Mr. Mulligan has performed myriad editorial, statistical, and handicapping functions in a most efficient and commendable fashion."
