Michaels, VP of Business Development of VLR, said: “I’m delighted to join the management team and drive our distribution and growth plans throughout the U.S. We already have a number of tracks that are live, including Derby Lane and Tampa Bay Downs in Florida. Five other tracks are signed and are soon to be launched, including Hawthorne in Chicago, and Parx in Philadelphia, but I will be looking to secure more partnerships before the end of the year.”

Michaels’s main responsibilities will be to build relationships with track owners and online Account Deposit Wagering (ADW) betting operators to drive expansion into tracks, casinos, and off-track betting outlets. He has 35 years experience in senior management roles within the horse racing industry, including positions as director, vice-president, president, CEO, and business owner/operator.
