Sky and Keeneland announce new multiyear agreement

October 4, 2019

Keeneland Association and Sky Sports Racing have entered into a multiyear agreement which gives the British sports channel exclusive rights to broadcast Keeneland racing in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Beginning with the Fall Meet (October 4-26th) Sky Sports Racing will carry Keeneland’s live race signal across its broadcast and digital platforms in the UK and Ireland. Race-day coverage will be enhanced with exclusive content and expert commentary provided by Keeneland Paddock Hosts Scott Hazelton and Gabby Gaudet.

Additionally, the channel will provide exclusive coverage of Keeneland’s four annual Thoroughbred auctions, among them the prestigious September Yearling and November Breeding Stock Sales, with content highlighted by editorial features, interviews with industry insiders and promotion of the global success of Keeneland sales graduates.

“Keeneland is excited to team with Sky Sports Racing, which represents a tremendous opportunity to further enhance our outreach in established racing markets abroad,” Keeneland Vice President of Racing and Sales Bob Elliston said.

“Sky Sports Racing is internationally respected for its racing coverage, and our unique partnership offers the ability to deliver high-quality content to subscribers via a range of media platforms.”

“Keeneland is an industry leader and a benchmark for quality in everything it does,” Sky Sports Racing Director of Domestic and International Media Rights James Singer said.

“We are delighted to enter a new partnership that will ensure we bring to racing fans in the UK and Ireland the best possible coverage of Keeneland’s 32 graded stakes races worth nearly $10 million, including ten Breeders’ Cup Challenge races, as well as insights and stories from the most influential sales auctions in the world.”
