Tanner Named Racing Chief At Louisiana Downs

Louisiana Downs has promoted Roxanne Tanner to director of racing, the track said in a Wednesday release.

Tanner has been employed by the track for nearly three years and previously served as the racing ambassador. Prior to Louisiana, her roles both on the front side and backside have included venues such as Arlington Park, Churchill Downs, Prairie Meadows, and Oaklawn Park.

“I'm appreciative for each experience I've had within the industry to get me to this point,” Tanner said. “I've been very blessed to work with some amazing people in my racing career. Since day one with Louisiana Downs, Kevin Preston and his team has been very supportive of my goals, both racing and personally and I look forward to achieving new goals with this historic race track.”
