Keeneland Continues Outreach to Spanish-Speaking Fans during Spring Meet

Keeneland’s 15-day Spring Meet from April 8-29 again will offer ways to engage Spanish-speaking fans of Thoroughbred racing through the continuation of its partnership with DRF en Español, which will provide Spanish coverage of opening weekend with host and handicapper Roberto Rodriguez and the DRF en Español Team.

The schedule for Spanish coverage of Keeneland’s April 8-10 opening weekend is:

• 10 a.m. all three days: “Keeneland Hoy!,” a 45-minute preview show.
• 12:30 p.m. on April 8 and 10: “Keeneland en Español,” with full race-day coverage including race calls, analysis and interviews. 
• Noon on April 9, day of the $1 million Toyota Blue Grass (G1) when the first race is 12:30 p.m.: “Keeneland en Español.”

For more details, visit the Keeneland en Español page on Keeneland.com. The live broadcast of opening weekend is available on YouTube on the Keeneland en Español channel and the DRF en Español channel.
For the entire Spring Meet, tools for Spanish-speaking fans of Keeneland include:

• The popular Keeneland Race Day App is available in Spanish for fans whose native language is set to Spanish on their iPhone or Android device;
• La Referencia, a complimentary publication with analysis and detailed handicapping information, is being presented by Keeneland and DRF en Español for fans to download; and
• Rodriguez’s race-day Spanish analysis that will be posted on the popular Expert Picks section of Keeneland.com.

These Keeneland initiatives extend a partnership that began during the 2020 Fall Meet with the founding of DRF en Español.
