HRRN, Keeneland partner to broadcast live
from Symposium on Racing and Gaming

Horse Racing Radio Network (HRRN), the Eclipse Award-winning broadcast organization based in Lexington, announced Thursday that it will partner with Keeneland to provide special coverage of the 38th Annual Symposium on Racing & Gaming in Tucson, Arizona, beginning Tuesday, Dec. 6.

HRRN President Mike Penna and co-host Jude Feld will anchor a pair of two-hour shows, Tuesday, Dec. 6, and Wednesday, Dec. 7, presented by Keeneland.  The shows will air live from 10 a.m. to noon (ET) exclusively on the HRRN website, www.horseracingradio.net, and will be available via podcast on the HRRN site following each broadcast. It also will be available at www.keeneland.com.

“The Symposium on Racing and Gaming is such an important forum for leaders in our industry to exchange ideas and debate critical issues,” said Keeneland Vice President and COO Vince Gabbert. “This is an exciting opportunity to partner with HRRN to bring the discussion to those not able to attend.”

“I have attended the symposium the past couple of years and have always thought it would be a great event to cover,” said Penna.  “Many of racing’s most prominent industry professionals are in attendance to discuss topics that impact the sport on a daily basis.  As HRRN continues to expand our reach, we pride ourselves on being able to provide coverage of racing’s biggest events, and the Symposium on Racing and Gaming is certainly one of those events.”

Doug Reed, director of the UA Race Track Industry Program, said there will be a special emphasis on digital age applications this year.

“In addition, guests will hear from many speakers outside the industry which will provide new and different ideas that can be implemented,” said Doug Reed, director of the UA Race Track Industry Program.

Each show will feature live interviews with special guests to discuss various industry issues being addressed at the symposium.  A schedule of symposium events can be found on the University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program website.
