Britney Eurton, British-based presenter Jess Stafford, and Nick Luck will join Caton Bredar as part of the Kentucky Downs broadcasting team as Michael Wrona returns to the announcer's booth for the upcoming race meeting, the track announced.
Eurton, Stafford and Bredar will provide analysis and paddock interviews throughout the meet on the Kentucky Downs' broadcast, with Luck contributing on opening day and Aug. 31. NBC will also be providing live coverage Saturday, Aug. 30 for two hours (3-5:00 p.m. CT) that will include the running of the GIII DK Horse Nashville Derby. Worth $3.5-million, it's America's richest race for 3-year-olds on the turf. The meet will run Aug. 28, 30, 31 and Sept. 4, 6, 7, and 10 over America's only European-style turf course.
“Our managing partners Ron Winchell and Marc Falcone challenge us each year to find new ways to improve the experience for our horsemen, guests and horseplayers, and this is part of that mission,” said Ted Nicholson, vice president for racing for ECL Entertainment, Kentucky Downs' parent company. “We've put together an all-star international cast that will make our simulcast feed must-watch viewing for racing fans while also appealing to a much broader audience, both geographically and as far as horse-racing knowledge.”
