This weekend’s world championships of Thoroughbred racing in Lexington will include new technology to enhance safety and integrity. A briefing Wednesday at Keeneland focused on measures pertaining to anti-doping testing to track safety. Keeneland has a two-camera system in place. Dora Delgado is the Breeders’ Cup Chief Racing Officer. She said the cameras are everywhere and can get multiple different angles.
“The camera quality and the capture of being able to isolate a particular horse on the racetrack when there could be 200 out there is just remarkable. This would be a gold standard that tracks should follow,” said Delgado.
