Gregory Lamb, who for the past 18 years has been an auditor with the Colorado Division of Racing Events, has been selected to be the new Kentucky Supervisor of Pari-mutuel Wagering.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission (KHRC) filled the position, which was recommended by the Governor’s Task Force of the Future of Horse Racing in Kentucky, on Monday. Created by statute, the position has been unfilled due to funding issues that were addressed by the special legislative session in June 2009.
“The Task Force created by Gov. Beshear gave us the direction we requested in addressing the integrity of horse racing in Kentucky by specifically naming this position as critical to elevating this area of oversight by the commission,” KHRC Executive Director Lisa Underwood said. “I am confident in the ability of Greg to help raise the level of integrity of horse racing to meet the expectations of the wagering public.”
Lamb will begin his new role on Tuesday.
