Louisiana Downs has named Matt Crawford the new racing secretary for both the current Thoroughbred meet and the 2023 Quarter Horse meet. He had previously been assistant racing secretary at the Bossier City track from 2008-13 and has since served as racing secretary at Delta Downs, Canterbury Park, Sam Houston Race Park, Ruidoso Downs, Zia Park, Hialeah, and Lone Star.
“Matt has a noted tenure in our industry and knows our region very well,” said general manager of racing Mitch Dennison. “We are fully committed to serving our horsemen at the highest level and know that Matt shares that goal. He joins an established racing office team, well coordinated by Jennifer Sokol. There is no doubt that Matt will be a great fit as he returns to Louisiana Downs.”
Crawford will begin his new position July 18. The 84-day live racing season at Louisiana Downs will conclude Sept. 27.
