FL acquired the Racing Post from the Trinity Mirror in 2007, partnering with it’s former editor who became the CEO.
The strategy was to grow digital revenues from a new mobile platform while maintaining the annuity cash-flow from the core newspaper business. FL and the CEO successfully repositioned the business as a successful multi-platform content business with a significant digital revenue prior to it’s sale to Exponent, a leading UK private equity firm.
