About Ryan Callahan

Ryan Callahan grew up in Perth, Western Australia — the home state of TABtouch and WA's premier thoroughbred racing industry. His passion for racing was sparked by Saturday afternoons watching the Ascot and Belmont meetings with his father, a lifelong punter who taught him to read a form guide before he could read a novel. That childhood fascination became a career when Ryan graduated from Curtin University's journalism programme in 2011 and immediately began writing about WAR racing for a now-defunct Perth sports publication.

Over the following decade, Ryan established himself as one of Australia's most trusted independent expert commentators on the wagering space, with a particular focus on the TABtouch platform. He has attended over 140 metropolitan race meetings across WA, attended AFL and NRL press conferences, and spent three years working as a racing data analyst for a private syndicate before returning to full-time content work. His analysis blends statistical modelling, form study and on-the-ground reporting to give everyday bettors an informed perspective on Australian wagering.
