Kentucky-based race course to sponsor The Guilford Dudley, Jr. Memorial Flat Race for fourth year<\/em><\/p>\n

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 20, 2013 \u2013 Kentucky Downs, America\u2019s only European-style race course, will return as a sponsor of the Iroquois Steeplechase, set for May 11, 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cKentucky Downs started as a race course for steeplechasing, so it\u2019s no surprise that we\u2019ve always been a proud supporter of steeplechase events,\u201d said Ray Reid, managing partner of Kentucky Downs. \u201cWe\u2019re honored to be associated with such a premier North American steeplechase event as the Iroquois.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kentucky Downs will once again sponsor the first race \u2013 The Guilford Dudley, Jr. Memorial Flat Race.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Iroquois is a great way to spread the word about Kentucky Downs to fellow race enthusiasts,\u201d said Reid. \u201cFrom live turf racing on our race course in September, to simulcast racing from tracks around the country several days a week, to our new Instant Racing machines, we\u2019re proud to tell folks they can follow horse racing year-round with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKentucky Downs shares our passion for horse racing and we are honored that they continue to support the Iroquois,\u201d said Dwight Hall, race chairman of the Iroquois Steeplechase. \u201cIt\u2019s with their help that our event has become known as Nashville\u2019s Rite of Spring drawing more than 25,000 guests every year.\u201d<\/p>\n
