Those statements were widely condemned by several industry groups, including Keeneland, Fasig-Tipton, The Jockey Club, and the National Thoroughbred Racing Association. VanMeter later apologized and pledged to become a better ally to people of color.

“Effective immediately, Tom VanMeter will be excluded from the Keeneland premises, including participation by VanMeter and VanMeter-Gentry Sales in sales and racing activities, while Keeneland further reviews the circumstances related to the recent reprehensible comments VanMeter made on social media.

“Keeneland takes its role in advancing inclusion and diversity seriously. But we know that we as a company, an industry and a society have much work to do. Only through listening and concrete action can we hope to live up to our values of respect, community and equality.”
