Keeneland Association will launch a redesigned website at http://www.keeneland.com in time for the spring live racing meet that begins April 6.

Keeneland designed the new site to be able to accommodate more video and other interactive features for visitors.

Keeneland Director of Broadcasting G.D. Hieronymus unveiled a screen shot of the new site during the fifth annual joint meeting of Thoroughbred Racing Associations and Harness Tracks of America on Monday in South Florida.

“This will be a video intensive site with multiple streams,” Hieronymus said. “This will let us manage our content, and there are plans for a digital archive.”

“Racing as it was meant to be is now racing as it has to be,” TRA Executive Vice President Chris Scherf said after Hieronymus’s presentation.
