Longtime Finger Lakes Clerk of Scales Jack Keller will be inducted into the track's Hall of Fame this Friday, the gaming establishment said in a press release on Wednesday. When Keller arrived at Finger Lakes outside of Farmington, New York in 1967, he figured he would spend a year working as a valet and then move on to another track for his next adventure in the world of racing. One year, however, became 59. “As it turned out, I never left,” said Keller, who is in his 39th season as the track's Clerk of Scales. Keller grew up in Ohio and fell in love with racing when he was going to the track with his father. He then landed a job on the backstretch in 1950, becoming a hotwalker at Ascot Park near Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. He also rode at Ohio fairs but was too heavy to make weight at parimutuel tracks so transitioned to becoming an outrider and then assistant starter across Ohio, working at Ascot Park, Thistledown, Randall Park and Cranwood Racecourse. His racing career includes stops at 17 different racetracks, including a winter in the 1960s as an exercise rider at Hialeah Park for the famous Darby Dan Farm. Keller came to Finger Lakes in 1967 and worked as a valet for twenty years, when he transitioned to the race office. He has been Clerk of Scales for 39 years. The Jockey's Room was named in his honor last year. “Jack has been an institution here at Finger Lakes,” said President and General Manager of Finger Lakes Gaming & Racetrack Chris Riegle. “His dedication and knowledge of the sport have allowed him to excel at every one of the many positions he has held here throughout the years.” Keller's induction into the Hall of Fame will take place at Friday's annual HBPA meeting and awards banquet.

Godolphin's Racing and Nominations assistant at Jonabell Farm for Darley America joins Ferrin Peterson on this week's Boundless Podcast to discuss the many ways there are to get into Thoroughbred racing. The episode is the first episodei n the Boundless students series, designed to inspire young people to get involved in racing and to learn how to break into the industry. Morgan explains that her role is to handle all administrative tasks for the racing side of Godolphin, as well as vaccination and vetwork and HISA paperwork. She also supervises the aftercare of their herd, under the program they call Godolphin Lifetime, where all geldings are found a lifetime home or transitioned into a second career. Morgan explained that she was not from a racing family, but grew up riding and transferred to the University of Kentucky after two years at a community college near her Maryland home. But she found some barriers to entry, often finding it hard to beat out others with family connections for jobs. She worked as a waitress, and did one season at a breeding farm, and was driving a friend to her job at Mill Ridge when she passed the gates at Jonabell on Bowman Mill Road. She looked up the contact information, sent in a resume at Jonabell, and landed a job at their yearling division in Paris, Kentucky. She switched to mares and foals at the main farm, and gradually transitioned to this job. She offers young people advice on how to ask for, and get help, finding a job in the industry. “You have to get yourself out there and push as hard as you can, especially if you don't have a family in the industry,” she said. The podcast is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or is available on YouTube by clicking here.
