By J.N. Campbell
Hosted by the Keeneland Association, the Organization of Racing Investigators (ORI) annual training and networking conference is marked for Sunday, Mar. 2 through Wednesday, Mar. 5.
Central to ORI’s mission is the pursuit of integrity and education for its members. By sharing best practices, interactions among investigators creates lasting relationships between jurisdictions. Representatives from every state racing entity will be in attendance, as well as regulators from national and international entities.
With sponsors such as the AQHA, Breeders’ Cup, NYRA, Parx Racing, PENN Gaming, The Stronach Group and Woodbine, this year’s conference in the Bluegrass boasts topics which will cover a range of hot button issues. Both Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse case studies are on the agenda as members will look to expand their own toolkits.
The 2025 ORI meeting is chaired by Dr. Stuart Brown, who has served as Keeneland’s Vice President of Equine Safety since 2020.
“ORI’s annual conference brings together investigators from across the sport of horse racing as guardians of the integrity of this global industry,” said Dr. Brown. “The aim is to bring a dynamic program of speakers that will share their perspectives on many of the issues facing these investigators each and every day. We are excited to be able to host this year’s conference at Keeneland.”
Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the following:
