Keeneland officials announced Friday that live racing will not be available
for simulcasting to five outlets both inside and outside the United States. The
excluded outlets are Tonkawa, Euro-Off-Track, Elite Turf Club, RGS and Capitol
Sports.
“Until we are fully satisfied that these locations are properly regulated,
it’s in the best interest of Keeneland’s customers — both on track and off —
not to send them our signal,” Keeneland President Nick Nicholson said. “In order
to ensure the integrity of our wagering pools, we will continue to seek
information about each of these sites. However, we will not make our signal
available to them until we are confident that they are being regulated
appropriately and that their use of betting technology does not place other
Keeneland customers at a disadvantage.”
Keeneland opened for its 69th Spring Meet on Friday, featuring the
Transylvania S. (G3) as the feature.
