The Jockey Club of America is hosting a new podcast called 'On the Lead' as part of its communications and outreach mission to the industry, the organization said in a release Thursday.
Presented by The Jockey Club, the podcast is produced by the In the Money Media Network, which is owned and operated by Peter T. Fornatale and Jonathon Kinchen.
The program is co-hosted by Shannon Kelly, executive director of The Jockey Club Safety Net Foundation, and Fornatale. Set for a 12-episode series, the content will cover a variety of topics reminiscent of the Round Table Conference's theme of “matters pertaining to racing.”
The goal of the series is to have entertaining and interesting conversations with varying industry voices targeting owners, breeders, fans, and anyone interested in Thoroughbred breeding and racing.
The podcasts will also feature a mailbag component that will incorporate questions from the audience. The email address is: [email protected].
“Through the podcast and the mailbag feature, we hope to reach out to and answer questions from an audience who might not otherwise have the opportunity to interact with us,” said James L. Gagliano, president and COO, The Jockey Club. “This is a great way to gather information on what people want to know about The Jockey Club and the sport.”
The first podcast, which is now available, features a discussion about the Thoroughbred registration process. Guests include legendary racetrack announcer Tom Durkin, The Jockey Club Associate Registrar Lori Johnson, and owner and breeder Jaime Roth of LNJ Foxwoods.
Shows can be accessed through a variety of locations including The Jockey Club's website and the In the Money Media podcast feed.
