The National Thoroughbred Racing Association’s Safety and Integrity Alliance announced that Kentucky Downs has been re-accredited following a complete review of all racing operations at the Franklin, Ky., facility.

Kentucky Downs, which completed a record five-day meet Sept. 25, received its initial alliance accreditation in 2011. All accreditations and re-accreditations carry an effective period of two years.

During the latest alliance inspection, best practices were identified at Kentucky Downs in virtually every primary area of focus, according to alliance executive director Mike Ziegler.

"Kentucky Downs received exemplary marks upon the track’s first review in 2011 and has successfully maintained very high standards since then," Ziegler said in a release
