Vince Gabbert, who recently left Keeneland after 14 years with the Lexington organization, has joined Ellis Park as interim director of racing. The Henderson, Kentucky track, which kicked off its 100th-year race meet Friday, July 8, has also brought on Megan Devine as paddock analyst and simulcast host and Allie Sclafani as race marketing coordinator.
Gabbert had been the chief operating officer and vice president of strategic initiatives at Keeneland since 2009.
“The opportunity to work at Ellis Park and be a part of the continued momentum for Kentucky racing is extraordinary,” said Gabbert. “I am very much looking forward to being a part of the 100-year celebration and working with the horsemen and staff to help deliver a wonderful race meeting.”
Devine has previously been on-air talent for TVG and a number of others, while Sclafani has also worked with TVG and three Kentucky tracks. Live racing at Ellis Park will be conducted Fridays through Sundays until Aug. 28.
